[pvrusb2] Unable to get pvrusb2 to work under Ubuntu.

[Bent Lykkebo]

I am having problems getting pvrusb2 to work under Ubuntu 6.06-1 LTS - 
the Dapper Drake. For 6-7 years ago I was using Unix at work & home and 
have now decided to try out Linux, because I would like to remove 
Windows and run Linux in future, so I'm like “new” to Linux.

My problems is that I cannot get the Hauppauge PVR USB2 to work with any 
programs like mythtv, xawtv and kdetv. I have read in your list archive 
that kdetv will not work, but it seems that many has pvrusb2 running 
with mythtv and xawtv. I have downloaded and install v0.20 (latest). I 
have mythtv running except the TV part.

So what have I done? I have install the latest kernel v2.6.18-rc7 
including pvrusb2 (this kernel because pvrusb2 is included) and it 
failed “msp3400: chip reset failed”. Then I downloaded and installed the 
latest pvrusb2 driver pvrusb2-mci-20060903.tar.bz2 and now I am getting 
this message when I connect it:

To me it seems to be working and if I boot Windows and select a channel, 
then boot Ubuntu (dual boot on my laptop) and 'cat /dev/video0 > 
test.mpg' it will record the channel both video and audio, so OK. But 
why can't I get mythtv or xawtv to work?

In mythtv-setup I have selected Capture Cards as 'V4L: /dev/video0'.
Capture card setup:
Card type: 'Analog V4L capture card'
Video device: '/dev/video0'
Probe info: 'Hauppauge WinTV pvr-usb2 [pvrusb2]'
VBI device: Empty - (none to select)
Audio device: '/dev/dsp'
Audio samp...: '44100'
Default input: 'television'

But under 'Input connections' all (television, s-video, composite, 
radio) are (None) and if I select 'television' and try 'Scan for 
channels' it say: Video Source: 'Empty', Capture Card: 'Empty' and Scan 
Type: 'Failed to open the card'.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
