Hi all!
Two weeks ago I bought a Hauppauge PVR-350, and hoped
it'll work with the ivtv-drivers under linux...
Newer versions of the drivers compiled fine and the card and
its chips have been detected correctly...
I even get a test-screen on the PVR-tvout...
But for bad luck there are some DMA errors, which don't let me
to see/record tv...
Could please someone be so kind to look at the newest drivers
(http://67.18.1.101/~ckennedy/ivtv/)
and tell me, if there is a chance to get this card working?
If you like it would be nice, if you could make the included utils compile
(I get some asm errors, so I can only compile the half of the utils)...

Please help me!
kind regards,
Marcel Unbehaun

Well, i don't have this hardware, so i cannot help very much. But don't despair, it may change, and we have other people interested in this kind of stuff, so there may be some solution in the near to middle term future.

Also, have you looked at the drivers in the mainline kernels ? I guess the best chance you have is to look for a chip which is supported by the bttv driver, which includes the :

{ 0x45000070, BTTV_HAUPPAUGEPVR, "Hauppauge WinTV/PVR" },

Not sure it applies to yours though.

Can you post the lspci and lspci -n output of your card ? Just to check which pci id it takes.

Hi, sven!
Thank you for quick reply!
Well the ivtv-drivers I use (or better say try to use ) are everyday the latest and I think ivtv is the only way to get this card working (the PVR-card within
video4linux is an other one and the video4linux/manual/HP refers to ivtv also, as
it is an "external driver"...
I can post you my lspci tomorrow (I'm the guy without internet at home talking with you at SNDF/Europe about the libcupsys-gnutls10 version-problem -> so
I'll have to bring the lspci-output to the internet-cafe at first ...)
I think my pci ID is 0:07:0 (not sure now) and I even got busmastering enabled,
which is needed from the PVR....
In any case good to know that there's bigger interest in running this card on our
peg
Have a nice evening!
kind regards

Yep, the ivtv seems to be an external driver, but it would be interested in knowing why. I am interested in the lspci output, not for the actual pci slot used, but for the vendore and device pci ids value that are given. Please paste only the entry which corresponds to your haupage PVR 300 card.

Hi, sven!
Back in the internetcafe with LOOTS of infos
Thank you very much for helping me!!!!!

Here's the pvr part of lspci:

0000:00:07.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC15 MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)

and lspci -n :

0000:00:07.0 0400: 4444:0803 (rev 01)

The error-log within /var/log/messages when trying to record with

Sorry for long post, but too many infos are probably better than too less...

PS: Sorry, I forgot to mention, that I tried the 0.10 and 0.2 drivers, too...
