[SOLVED] mythtv - No picture using Hauppauge pvr-150

Hi All,
  I have just set up mythtv but cannot get a live picture using the Hauppauge pvr 150.  The card is working (thanks to enrique) and can both stream video and record video either live or in a cron job. I am attaching the cable directly to the card instead of using a digital cable box.  This limits the available channels but thats OK since this connection probably won't be used that often.
  I don't recall seeing any options specifying whether the cable connection is analog or digital, nor do I recall seeing any options pertaining to the video card.   I don't know what I'm doing wrong so any and all tips will be appreciated.   
Thanks
  Larry

Problem Solved:
   The dodo (Me), kept putting the card in as "analog v4l device" which is how myth set it up.
   It should be MPEG-2 encoder card (PVR-x50,500).
   I just wasn't being careful enough to check all possibilities.
   Seems to be working.   
   Maybe that will help someone.

  • Hauppauge PVR-150 Capture, Audio Static/Noise IVTV Composite input

    Hello,
    This is my first post.
    I have been migrating from Gentoo to Arch after 7-8 years using gentoo, I think Arch is great. even though precompiled packages have there downside. anyway.
    I have problem with static/noise audio when capturing from Composite using IVTV, im running kernel 3.0.4 arch kernel.
    I have 10  Hauppauge PVR-150 (+1 PVR-500) Cards running, the problem occurs in a random card after reboot.
    Video is fine on all cards, but sometimes the audio on either one of the 11 cards get static/noise in the audio background.. sometimes allot, other times just a little bit noise/static.
    I tried the wiki, and searched the forum, but can't find a solution, can anyone help me??
    I can provide sample (cat /dev/videoX > sample.mpeg) if interested.
    See dmesg: http://pastebin.com/U2JnJ0Zr
    Thank you

    Hello,
    changing to constant bitrate seems to correct the problem,
    v4l2-ctl -d /dev/videoX --set-ctrl=video-bitrate-mode=1
    and then remember to not have the capture source audio volume to more than 75%.

    Can someone please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates?  I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my new Mac.  I ended up getting a bunch of duplicates. My old Mac has an older version of iPhoto while the new Mac has iPhoto '11.  Is that the cause of the problem?  Please advise.  Thanks.

    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • Can I use Image Capture to take a picture using a Canon EOS 10D?

    Normally I use a card reader to download digital photos, but today I hooked my camera directly to my iMac. I then noticed the "Take Picture" button, so I tried to use it to take a picture with my Canon EOS 10D. Image Capture didn't refuse, it just showed the 'cogwheel' animated cursor and got stuck. What does this mean - is it that this particular camera won't work or that there is something wrong with the setup? I have other digital cameras, but I don't want to work all this out by experiment alone - how can I find out more about how this feature of IC works and what exactly is going on when I press "Take Picture"? There is absolutely no technical info in the Help files.

    The Help on Image Capture has the following:
    Many cameras let you take a picture using Image Capture when the camera is connected to your computer.
    To take a picture:
    Connect your camera and open Image Capture.
    Click Download Some.
    Click Take Picture.
    The camera snaps a picture, which then appears in the window.
    If you don’t see the Take Picture icon, choose View > Customize Toolbar, and drag the Take Picture icon to the toolbar.
    If the Take Picture icon is dimmed, your camera doesn’t support this feature.
    As the option is available to you, your camera supports +Tethered Shooting+. If it’s not working check your camera’s manual to see do you need this enabled on your camera.

    Hi Giorgiovdb!
    Unfortunately I cannot help you; all I did was test for you.
    I did an upgrade over my Lion install with Mountain Lion which went fine. I just tested icon view in my Finder on different files and folders and here in my installation all stays fine; good readable like in column view!
    The only thing you might try is change your Font in Finder and set it back to the original afterwards!
    I quickly Google'd how to change fonts in the Finder as appearantly there's no obvious gui item for it:
    http://usermanifest.wordpress.com/2012/07/06/osx-finder-title-bar-font/
    Try to see if it brings you anywhere!
    At my post all fonts act normal after my upgrade to Mountain Lion; I don't do a clean install unless I really have to!
    Goodluck!

  • When I print a 4x6 color picture using an iMac with the latest operating system using a Canon MX892 printer, faint black lines appear every 3/16 of an inch. When I print the same picture using iPhoto there is no problem.

    When I print a 4x6 color picture using an iMac with the latest operating system using a Canon MX892 printer, faint black lines appear every 3/16 of an inch. When I print the same picture using iPhoto there is no problem. Any suggestions?

    What is the resolution of the picture that you are trying to print?
    Go to Image>resize>image size, read the resolution in px/in, then report back, please.
    Also, are you in a position to try printing with another printer in an attempt to narrow this down?

  • HT5517 How can have full picture using mirrored image from iPad

    How can have full picture using mirrored image from iPad on my Apple TV airplay

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone 4S or prior an aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.
    You may wish to try each of the settings in ‘Settings > Audio & Video > Adjust for AirPlay overscan’ for the best setting that suits you.

  • Everytime I take a picture using my flash, the picture comes out all foggy

    Everytime I take a picture using my flash, it comes out foggy!! What can I do to stop this??

    The better designers are taking this into account. People should look at the case they are about to purchase. If the case comes within about an 1/8 inch of the flash, it's apt to be a problem.

  • Taking pictures using image capture and Nikon d50

    Hi, does any one know if it is possible to take pictures using image capture whilst my nikon d50 is connected to my MacBook so that the image is shown on the MacBook screen.

    Yes! Indeed, I have that very same D50 (lovely isn't it?) and I just happenned to have taken already some pictures with it, from the computer.
    Once it's pluggeg, go in Applications> Image Capture.
    From there, you will either be able to download all the picture from the D50, or take new shots.
    You can even share the camera (and it's pictures) online, so someone can even take picture with it (through a webpage). You could even try this yourself, play around in Image Capture and with it's share features, and somewhere it will give you the adress (internal ip adress) so suposely someone from your network (including your own computer) could go, check, and take pictures.
    I've tried the web interface from my computer, but couldn't make it work with another one from my LAN. Have to work around this.
    But in Image Capture, first make sure the D50 is selected (Devices>[pick it]) and then there is what you are looking for in the upper bar of the window.
    Have fun!
