ivtv modules

Just a quick note -- if you are using media-tv/ivtv, be sure to load your I2C and Video4Linux drivers as modules in the kernel, or they will most likely not work. I've known about that for a long time, so I assumed it was common knowledge, but I see reports of people not doing that and running into problems. Sorry about that. I added a warning in the 1.0.x ebuilds of IVTV. :)

Also, ivtv-1.0.2 is in the tree now, for kernels >=2.6.22.2. Here's the tiny Changelog.

    Does this mean 1.0.x is no longer masked or how should I see this? Getting ivtv to work is a real pain finding documentation is hard.

  • Steve says:

    Yah, 1.0 is stable now on x86 and amd64.

    It always seemed to me like there wasn't much need for docs, since it's pretty straight forward (emerge the package, follow the instructions) but I guess it wouldn't hurt.

    It seems xf86-video-ivtvdev is incompatible with ivtv 1.0.2. I believe they have a set of patches that should fix this.

    I also seem to be having issues with ivtv-fb oopsing as its not built with the correct headers.
