Re: Added support for the LifeViewFlyDVB-T LR301 card? - success

Hi,

thanks for help, finally I managed to get it working.

This was my procedure:

- download LinuxTV sources from http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb?ca=-1;type=bz2
(version downloaded from web interface didn't compile)

- compile sources from linuxtv.org (make all; make install)

- I had to recompile my kernel (2.6.16.16) with all the options connected to
video4linux switched off, because there were many errors when modprobing the
LinuxTV modules

- two new lines appeared in my dmesg:
saa7134[0]: subsystem: 5168:0301, board: LifeView FlyDVB-T / Genius
VideoWonder DVB-T [card=86,autodetected]
...
DVB: registering new adapter (saa7134[0]).
DVB: registering frontend 0 (Philips TDA10046H DVB-T)...

- finally I had to create /dev/dvb/adapter0/* manually, it didn't create
automatically. Is there any other way to do it than create these links every
time you boot in start-up scripts?

- scan and xine works fine now, it works even better than on w2k (I have
slow comp - Celeron 433 - and on windows the tv is quite snatchy, on Linux
it is nice)

I have one more question. Is it possible to copy LinuxTV sources to linux
kernel source tree and compile it directly to kernel?

Jiri
