[linux-dvb] analogTV plugin and PVR 250

["Martin Altemark" <martin.altemark@linewise.se>]

I have had some luck regarding using the analogtv plugin together with my pvr-250, but only when running runvdr/vdr from a shell, when running runvdr from inittab the screen is just black. I guess it's the pes2ts2 program that can't started from there (?) or something similar. I use a keyboard input (remote that sends to IR connected to ps2 input)...

I'd LOVE some help here since this is not really my area of knowledge


inittab entry:
vdr:3:respawn:/vdr/runvdr --terminal /dev/tty1

This is my runvdr script:
#!/bin/sh

# runvdr: Loads the DVB driver and runs VDR
#
# If VDR exits abnormally, the driver will be reloaded
# and VDR restarted.
#
# Set the environment variable VDRUSR to the user id you
# want VDR to run with. If VDRUSR is not set, VDR will run
# as 'root', which is not necessarily advisable.
#
# Since this script loads the DVB driver, it must be started
# as user 'root'.
#
# Any command line parameters will be passed on to the
# actual 'vdr' program.
#
# See the main source file 'vdr.c' for copyright information and
# how to reach the author.

I use the following options in setup.conf (as someone posted previously on this list):

analogtv.AudioMode = 3
analogtv.AutoUpdate = 0
analogtv.Brightness = 20
analogtv.Clipping = 1
analogtv.Colour = 16
analogtv.Contrast = 14
analogtv.debug = 1
analogtv.Deinterlace = 0
analogtv.Encoder = 7
analogtv.EncoderAlwaysUp = 0
analogtv.EPGfrom = 1
analogtv.EPGprovider = "FF
analogtv.External = "
analogtv.Filter = 7
analogtv.Finetune = "|
analogtv.GOP = 1
analogtv.HideMainMenu = 1
analogtv.Hue = 15
analogtv.ImageSize = 5
analogtv.Link = 0
analogtv.Logger = 1
analogtv.MemcpyMethod = 4
analogtv.MixerDevice = "/dev/null
analogtv.MixerInput = 6
analogtv.MixerVolume = 80
analogtv.MotionMax = 0
analogtv.MotionMin = 0
analogtv.MPEG = 0
analogtv.PCMdevice = "/dev/null
analogtv.Profile = 0
analogtv.PsychoAnalysis = 0
analogtv.Report = 0
analogtv.Test = 0
analogtv.ThemeLanguage = 2
analogtv.Videobitrate = 75


Thanks in advance
