 Posted: Tue Jul 15, 2008 1:08 pm Post subject: R5.5 and the Hauppauge HD-PVR |
 |
|
While waiting for my new HD-PVR to arrive, I tried compiling the v4l driver under R5.5. After installing mercurial (apt-get install mercurial), everything compiles and installs cleanly (gotta love KnoppMyth) using the guide at:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_HD-PVR
Unfortunately, that is as far as I can get without the actual hardware.
Does anyone have an HD-PVR who is willing to do some experimentation? When mine arrives, I'll provide more feedback.
UPDATE - Hauppauge tells me that my unit should ship by the 18th.

| I sold my OLPC laptop on eBay to get money to buy the HD-PVR. I know it will be a while before it is supported (much less stable) in MythTV and it would be smarter to wait... but it's the missing piece of my current setup. Once I get DirecTV HD captured, I can go totally MythTV and dump the horrible DirecTV PVR. |

Those of us living vicariously, await with baited breath your groundbreaking report on 'how this is done'.....  |

The MythTV trunk looks pretty scary right now. There are a lot of warnings that it will be broken for a while (UI changes). Also, it appears that I will need Qt 4.3 to compile. Are these libraries present in R5.5?
Suggestions and/or help from anyone who has experience building SVN under R5.5 would be very welcome.
UPDATE - Yep... R5.5 is missing Qt4. Anyone know the packages I will need to apt-get to do a build?
UPDATE - I have managed to install enough Qt4 to start building. Here is my apt-get line which probably has some non-necessary stuff.
| Code: | apt-get install libqt4-core libqt4-dbg libqt4-gui libqt4-qt3support libqt4-sql qt4-qtconfig qt4-doc qt4-designer qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libqt4-opengl-dev libqt4-opengl libqt4-sql-mysql
rm /usr/bin/qmake
ln -s /usr/bin/qmake-qt4 /usr/bin/qmake |
NOTE: Additional packages merged into code above.

Good news: The driver seems to work. I can capture video with audio as a .ts file.
Bad news: My compile of mythtv from SVN does not seem to have mysql support and will not connect to the database. Once again... any help building from SVN would be appreciated!
UPDATE: I reinstalled R5.5 after the SVN build had problems. Both R5.5 mythtv and included VLC crash when trying to playback the HD-PVR capture file. Obviously there is something extra needed to decode the HD-PVR files, but I'm surprised that it leads to a segfault (bad code somewhere... maybe ffmpeg stuff). My Vista box can playback the files but uses 50% of each core on a Core2Duo E6400 with the Arcsoft decoder (which is reported to be the most CPU efficient out there). I'm going to concentrate on SVN building... hopefully all I need are some extra Qt4 libraries for the mysql support. |

After getting the extra Qt4 packages, I can compile and install SVN now. Myth setup now has the HD-PVR listed. I can add it and hook it up to a lineup. All is good so far.
I start the myth backend and everything seems fine. Checking the mythbackend.log and all looks good.
I run mythfilldatabase. It does the whole lineup download fine, then at the very end where it is notifying the backend it dies. Here is the dump.

Myth frontend runs, does the theme scaling stuff and then segfaults. No error messages are reported or anything useful before the segfault... in fact everything looks very good and normal. Maybe something to do with the new UI code in SVN?
 HELP! |

I'm stuck for now. It looks like some people out there are successfully running the trunk builds under Mythbuntu with the HD-PVR. The Mythbuntu team appears to have trunk packages (daily builds?), although they recently reported a pause in their builds until the trunk stabilizes. I'm going to give it a shot and see what happens. Last time I tried Mythbuntu, my experience was that it was quite far behind KnoppMyth in polish... but it's worth a go.
UPDATE: I think the Mythbuntu trunk builds are still stalled. I'm continuing with KnoppMyth for now.

Ok... I got some help in the #hdpvr chat at FreeNode (thanks iamlindoro!) and I'm now unstuck. I have the HD-PVR recording shows in the backend now. To get the frontend running, I need to wipe the machine and start from square one by removing all the mythtv packages BEFORE I build and install the new ones. I am told that this is my problem (artifacts of the older mythtv are causing problems). I would like to build the debian packages instead of installing with "make install". So, I might do some research on how to do that instead. More to come...

Do that after 'make' and it will build you a package...

Removing R5.5 stock MythTV:
| Code: | | apt-get remove mythtv mythplugins mythstream |
Cecil & Cesman, will this get rid of everything? |

| Compiled from SVN and made/installed the packages. Everything is now working... backend & frontend with the HDHomeRun. HD-PVR is capturing on the command line just fine (video and audio are perfect in my test capture files when played back on a Windows machine). Next step is to add in the HD-PVR capture device to MythTV. |

We are experiencing the struggle vicariously. I can't wait for the next exciting installment! It's better than "Ice Road Truckers!"

Ok... I get the sarcasm... I'll try to not post until I have more results to report. |
