??? can i use 2 (or more) TVcards with pdp at the same time ???

no problem just create a 2nd [pdp_v4l] object and send it a [open /dev/video1 ( or 2 3 4 5.. .n message

i've tested it with a bttv card and a webcam, and it seems to work fine.

...

ps. can i turn the message sending "pdp_v4l: tuner frequency..." OFF ?

in modules/pdp_v4l.c in the function static void pdp_v4l_freq(..) comment out the line else {post("pdp_v4l: tuner frequency: %f MHz", f / 16.0f);}

ah, yes, that's an annoying message. i've commented it out for the next release..

hi,

i got now 2 TVcards installed in my suse8.1

• TerraTValue (bt878)
• MiroPCTV (bt848)

and i can't get them to work at the same time

i asssume that "/etc/modules.conf" is the only file i have to edit to get the cards to work, so:

the terraTValue card works with these values

options i2c-core 12c_debug=1 alias char-major-89 i2c-dev options bttv card=33 pll=1 options tuner type=5 alias char-major-81-0 bttv alias char-major-81-1 off alias char-major-81-2 off alias char-major-81-3 off

and

the miroPVTV card works with these values

options i2c-core 12c_debug=1 alias char-major-89 i2c-dev options bttv card=1 pll=1 options tuner type=0 alias char-major-81-0 bttv alias char-major-81-1 off alias char-major-81-2 off alias char-major-81-3 off

so,

the both cards "should" (with my logic) work with these values

options i2c-core 12c_debug=1 alias char-major-89 i2c-dev options bttv card=33,1 pll=1,1 options tuner type=5,0 alias char-major-81-0 bttv alias char-major-81-1 bttv alias char-major-81-2 off alias char-major-81-3 off

but with this i get: "tuner.o : too many values for type"

i'm trying to solve this problem like 2 days allready and can't find a solution even from googles group search...

so i was hoping here's some1 with 2 bttv tuner cards installed and could help me a little...

thnx -andre

hi CK,

1000x thnx for the tip... it seems to work :)

i copied "tuner.o" to "tuner1.o"

then "insmod tuner1.o"

then added: "options tuner1 type=0" to modules.conf

so now it looks like this:

options i2c-core 12c_debug=1 alias char-major-89 i2c-dev options bttv card=33,1 pll=1,0 options tuner type=5 options tuner1 type=0 alias char-major-81-0 bttv alias char-major-81-1 bttv alias char-major-81-2 off alias char-major-81-3 off

and now i can use both tuners at the same time in pdp, JIPPIIII..

thanx again ! -andre

hi,

I never tried with two different tuners, just tv tuner && webcam , 2 webcams etc .... but I remember when I was still using the oss virmidi driver to route stuff back and forth I copied virmidi.o to virmidi1.o inserted both et voila I got more internal midi ports to route, might work aswell with tuner.o (untested)

cp tuner.o tuner1.o

insmod tuner.o <args to tell it to use tunertype> insmod tuner1.o <args to use the other tuner type>

that's an ugly hack /me knows, but then again it might work.
