menendez Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Hello, I had been able to use a HD-3000 card with MythTV before. But now I am getting errors from MythTV stating that the device is busy and cannot connect. Can anyone help? Thank You, Jose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 The driver for it is included in the kernel since revision 2.6.12, so it must be another thing... Does the module for the card load properly? Have you tried to seat the card at another PCI slot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menendez Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Does the module for the card load properly? Yes is does. I see it with lsmod. Have you tried to seat the card at another PCI slot? I don't have any other available slots. Do you think removing it and reinstalling would help?

scarecrow Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Nope, but forcing an IRQ for it within BIOS *might* help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menendez Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Nope, but forcing an IRQ for it within BIOS *might* help. My BIOS lets me toggle IRQs between Available and Reserved. But for Reserved I found no way to tie it to a specific device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menendez Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I had the capture card and MythTV working together at one time. But the cx88-dvb module was not loading automatically. If I loaded it with modprobe from a terminal window and then when into MythTV setup I could find my capture card using type DVB DTV Capture Card. And I could watch/record OTA digital TV. Then I was told that if I added cx88-dvb to the /etc/module.preload file I would not have to load that module each time. I did so and sure enough lsmod showed the module to be there. However, this is when I started to get the "Device Busy" messages from MythTV, including from inside MythTV-setup when I tried to select the DVB DTV Capture Card type. So I figured maybe the preload was the problem. I removed cx88-dvb from the /etc/module.preload file. And lsmod showed that the module did not load. If I load it with modprobe then I can start the backend with no problem: [root@localhost jose]# modprobe cx88-dvb [root@localhost jose]# mythbackend -d 2007-10-02 03:32:41.246 Using runtime prefix = /usr 2007-10-02 03:32:41.267 New DB connection, total: 1 [root@localhost jose]# 2007-10-02 03:32:41.282 Connected to database 'mc' at host: localhost 2007-10-02 03:32:41.287 Current Schema Version: 1160 Starting up as the master server. 2007-10-02 03:32:41.298 New DB connection, total: 2 2007-10-02 03:32:41.299 Connected to database 'mc' at host: localhost 2007-10-02 03:32:41.303 EITHelper: localtime offset -4:00:00 2007-10-02 03:32:41.310 New DB connection, total: 3 2007-10-02 03:32:41.317 Connected to database 'mc' at host: localhost 2007-10-02 03:32:41.349 New DB scheduler connection 2007-10-02 03:32:41.350 Connected to database 'mc' at host: localhost 2007-10-02 03:32:41.353 Main::Starting HttpServer 2007-10-02 03:32:41.362 Main::Registering HttpStatus Extension 2007-10-02 03:32:41.370 mythbackend version: 0.20.20060828-4 URL:www.mythtv.org 2007-10-02 03:32:41.371 Enabled verbose msgs: important general 2007-10-02 03:32:41.371 AutoExpire: Found 1 recorders w/max rate of 138 MiB/min 2007-10-02 03:32:41.373 AutoExpire: Required Free Space: 3.0 GB w/freq: 10 min 2007-10-02 03:32:43.367 Reschedule requested for id -1. 2007-10-02 03:32:43.398 Scheduled 2 items in 0.0 = 0.01 match + 0.02 place 2007-10-02 03:32:43.401 Seem to be woken up by USER HOWEVER, now when I start the frontend I immediately get logged out of my session.
