Dvico DVB-T card seems recognised in dmesg but Kino etc don't see it

I have this exact same card working fine under Kanotix which is debian based but of course want to use Arch.

Is there a simple way of getting it to work?

lsmod shows various tuner,cx8800blackbird modules etc..

So all seems as though it should work but Kino doesn't see the DVB at all.

Re: Dvico DVB-T card seems recognised in dmesg but Kino etc don't see it

Here's some random ideas for you.

Make sure you have the "dvb-usb-bluebird-01.fw" firmware file in /lib/firmware/
The MODULES section of /etc/rc.conf needs to contain "cx88-dvb" for dual cards to work correctly, for example -> MODULES=(pppoe skge cx88-dvb)
There should be these following entries under /dev/dvb/adapter0

demux0
dvr0
frontend0
net0

What card exactly is it? Drivers are still being developed for newer cards like the "Dual Digital 4"

Yep the cx88-dvb was the missing culprit.

Don't know what the firmware is for not in my /lib/firmware

Now to get the remote working

It is a Dvico Fusion HDTV  DVB-T

Re: Dvico DVB-T card seems recognised in dmesg but Kino etc don't see it

Ahh ok I have one of these cards (plus a dual digital) they're very well supported. This card doesn't need the firmware file so forget about that.

Try this for your /etc/lircd.conf

And from memory your /etc/conf.d/lircd will need to look something like this 

#
# Parameters for lirc daemon
#

LIRC_DEVICE="/dev/hiddev0"
LIRC_DRIVER="dev/input"
LIRC_EXTRAOPTS=""
LIRC_CONFIGFILE="/etc/lircd.conf"

Best of luck.

No /dev/.....  for the remote

Re: Dvico DVB-T card seems recognised in dmesg but Kino etc don't see it

I took those settings from an old install of ubuntu. Try looking for hiddev0 in /dev/usb/hiddev0
and change from LIRC_DEVICE="/dev/hiddev0" to LIRC_DEVICE="/dev/usb/hiddev0"

I'm relying on memory for this as i now use a different remote. wink

Re: Dvico DVB-T card seems recognised in dmesg but Kino etc don't see it

You were correct how can I tell if it is actually being loaded and working,

Must be close now ?

I am actually playing around with Mythtv on Arch mostly works but mysql and mythbackend seem to refuse to load as daemons so have to manually start them.

Also cx88_dvb loads but even Kino doesn't see it untill I rmmod then modprobe again.

All a huge learning curve I am not new to Linux but I sure learn a lot each time i try something different.

Re: Dvico DVB-T card seems recognised in dmesg but Kino etc don't see it

Weird.... here's how my /etc/rc.conf looks.

DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng hal network @netfs @crond @atd @httpd @sensors @alsa portmap fam mysqld mythbackend mtd lircd)

That sequence works for me. I've also had one episode about 6 months ago where i had to drop the mythconverg database and rebuild it from scratch to get mythbackend working (with much AARGH'ing involved). The rmmod and modprobe issue I can't think of anything that would cause that sorry.

To see if the remote is working; start the program irw on the command line, and press some of your remote buttons. If it's working you'll get output telling which buttons you've pressed. If irw fails to start you've got problems.....

Good luck wink

Re: Dvico DVB-T card seems recognised in dmesg but Kino etc don't see it

Remote recognised by running irw but not in Mythtv Argh!!!!!!


Ok almost all working now I can stop bothering you :-) A couple of small ones though

A bit closer now. Just another Mythtv weather anomoly shows my temps at like -37C this is surely wrong set location to Sydney Australia. Another thing do you know an easy way to get mythstream to work on Archlinux ?

mysqld & mythbackend loading ok

DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng mysqld mythbackend lircd mtd hald !hotplug !pcmcia @network @netfs @crond @hwd @mkvmdev @cups !slim kdm nvidia)


moved them in a different place in the daemons list and now ok.

Remote recognised at last seems the one you sent me was a different beast found it here http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/dvi … fusionHDTV

Re: Dvico DVB-T card seems recognised in dmesg but Kino etc don't see it

No problem happy to help. The weather thing happens to me as well for Perth. I havent yet gotten around to working out what's going on with that.....

As an example, here's my ~/.mythtv/lircrc config file

# Channel Up
   begin
   prog = mythtv
   button = ch_up
   repeat = 2
   config = U
   end
   
   # Channel Down
   begin
   prog = mythtv
   button = ch_down
   repeat = 2
   config = J
   end
   
   # OK/Select
   begin
   prog = mythtv
   button = ok
   config = Space
   end
   
   # Play/Pause
   begin
   prog = mythtv
   button = playpause
   config = P
   end
   
   begin
   prog = mythtv
   button = stop
   config = Esc
   end
   
   # Escape/Exit/Back
   begin
   prog = mythtv
   button = back
   config = Esc
   end
   
   # Toggle PIP
   begin
   prog = mythtv
   button = tv_onoff
   config = V
   end

   # Swap PIP windows
   begin
   prog = mythtv
   button = alt_tab
   config = N
   end
   
   # big green start button
   begin
   prog = mythtv
   button = start
   repeat = 2
   config = Esc
   end
   
   # Mute
   begin
   prog = mythtv
   button = mute
   repeat = 2
   config = F9
   end
   
   # Fast forward (30 sec default)
   begin
   prog = mythtv
   button = fastforward
   repeat = 2
   config = .
   end
   
   # Back (10 sec default)
   begin
   prog = mythtv

Re: Dvico DVB-T card seems recognised in dmesg but Kino etc don't see it

Almost there

Thanks well some buttons actually work now like pause and the numbers but not the channel change,

Now to figure out what my remote actually needs ?


Might be easier to use a wireless keyboard ? Then all functions are available !

Re: Dvico DVB-T card seems recognised in dmesg but Kino etc don't see it

Err, did you use my ~/.mythtv/lircrc as is?
Or did you change the button parameters from my ~/.mythtv/lircrc to suit your remote?

So for example what I mean is in my ~/.mythtv/lircrc I have channel up like this
# Channel Up
   begin
   prog = mythtv
   button = ch_up
   repeat = 2
   config = U
   end

But for your ~/.mythtv/lircrc it would need to be
# Channel Up
   begin
   prog = mythtv
   button = chup
   repeat = 2
   config = U
   end

This is all because in your /etc/lircrc the channel up button is wriiten as chup. Does that make sense?

Used it as it was, how do you know what the remote needs ?

Also is it only good while you watch tv or is it usable throughout Myth menus.?

Once I sought it out I want to set up a dedicated Myth Box, and would like to use Archlinux.

Oh yeh! when I go to rip a DVD it comes up with a trancode error ?  Something missing.?
