Please friends... what is the best package?? which commands?? I like very much slitaz and want learn more. Step by step?? Have install all packages. Wich packages, all base-system or development?? Good Energies to slitaz comunity!!:^)
I don't know if the SliTaz kernel is compiled to support tv cards. If it is, it may be auto-detected. Check the kernel messages with dmesg |grep ivtv and see if it shows up. Otherwise you'll need to google video4linux to see if they list your card. When you find the chip you can see what linux driver they list for it and load it manually with modprobe.
Hello Mark, yes list my card chip Philips SAA 7130 /7134 and I put #modprobe SAA7134 I tried several other procedures. But I'm new and certainly must be doing everything wrong. A light please. I went into other links ( http://forum.slitaz.org/index.php/discussion/comment/5811/#Comment_5811 ) I could not install the xawtv or tvtime. I saw that they need the dependent packages that are conflicting with SliTaz. I have joined many other sites, and already tried. I think the market a video. Very grateful to everyone. Hugs
Hi Andre, After you loaded the module check dmesg and lsmod. dmesg |grep ivtv lsmod |grep ivtv If it's good you should see entries in dmesg that the card is detected and devices (like video0) are registered. Lsmod should have entries for the tuners. You will also need ivtv-utils but it doesn't appear in the slitaz repos so you may need to compile it unless someone else has already done that and shares with you. I don't think your card has the mpeg encoding chip so the raw feed should work with xawtv or tvtime. I didn't see either of those applications in the repos so you're in the same boat as ivtv-utils with them.
