Re: [Zapping-misc] bttv, bt878, and zvbi failing

[Freedman, D. S. <dfr...@bu...>]

Hi, Believe it or not, I had almost the exact same problem, although with newer kernels (IE, I had no problems with Ubuntu 06 or 07, but after 08...). I solved it by using tvtime with the following command.

tvtime --input=1 -d /dev/vbi0 --inputwidth=640
# for some reason you need to point the dev to the vbi device if you want closed captions to work!?!? WTF

I always had used tvtime prior to this, but the key was telling tvtime to use this device.

I hope this helps.

I've been trying to use my old bt878 PCI cards with zvbi-ntsc-cc to
capture CC streams. These cards worked under kernel 2.4.x but I haven't
tested them in 2.6.x. I'm not sure if the problem is with zvbi, v4l2, or
the bttv/bt878 drivers.
I have a brief writeup of the problem here:

other information needed. Thank you.
