No probs. However - the current centos kernel for SME has no support for v4l or dvb devices - either built in or as a module.
----------------------------------kernel-2.6.x-x.x.x.xxx.plus.c4----------------------------------This is a kernel that has many of the options and modules turned on whichare turned off by default in the upstream providers kernels. A list of some of the items that this Kernel includes are:File Systems:NTFS (read and write)XFS (read and write)JFS (read and write)ReiserFS (read and write)UFS {BSD default FS} (read only)BeOS FS (read only)AFS (read only)Hardware Modules:All USBAll FirewireAll SCSIVideo4 Linux and all Video, Audio and Radio modulesIPX, DECNET, netware file mount support, ability to write to a WindowsDynamic Partition. There are other items as well.
You will need to recompile the kernel however. Not all that hard.
Quote from: "duncan"You will need to recompile the kernel however. Not all that hard.You don't have to recomple the kernel. I'm running the stock centos kernel and everything is working great.
I`m guessing you compiled the latest v4l-dvb drivers from linuxtv.org ?
I have a basic summary at: http://www.stbecker.com/media/howto.htmlLet me know if there's anything missing or inaccurate up to that point.[/url]
Good point. I added "disable" at the end - it does work this way, at least from a base install.So the consensus is that a kernel re-compile is not needed - or is it?
I am using the ivtv module (had to compile it myself) stock SME 7 kernel and all is working well.I can't get the MythWeb working since it's not "SME-ified" yet.So yes, the stock kernel works.Dependency on other modules is another matter. May need to go to an older module source.Ed
Duncan,Would you mind posting the MythWeb portion on this board.Thanks,Ed
Duncan,would it be possible to add the location(s) of the mythtv rpm's to you wiki pls? Right now there is no mentioning of what mythtv files are used and where to get them.Thanks,guest
