Justin-
I copied the tarball you sent me- Hauppauge1950.Linux -to a CD
and then copied it off the CD to the Desktop on my SuSE Linux
11.1 distro on my dual boot laptop.
For a time I tried various linux 'add remove program' strategies to
install the software you sent. Nothing worked, but after a while I
saw a folder labeled Hauppauge1950.Linux on my Desktop as well
as the card board box the tarball came in.
So then I went to a terminal and got myself root privileges. After
running cd Desktop I typed in: zypper install Hauppauge1950.Linux
The output looked like: "Retrieving repository 'KDE:KDE3' metadata
[done] .... Loading repository data ... Reading installed packages
... Hauppauge1950.Linux not found ... Resolving package dependencies
Nothing to do ...
Mike-
As you suggested, I ran the following command: "perl -v". The
output read: This is perl, v5.10.0 built for i586 -linux thread- multi
copywright 1987- 2007 Larry Wall
Next with root privileges I typed in: perl fwextract_new.pl
The output was: fewextract version: fwextract.pl 2422 2009-11-12
08:01:132 Reading internal configuration data base driver path
is win_driver Extracting firmware files from driver directory Failed
to locate any files to scan anywhere with win_driver
As a last resort I entered the command: sudo mythtv-setup
The reply to this was: cannot connect to X server. I then backed
out of the terminal and went to MythTV through "Applications" ->
"Multimedia". Like it always does, the Myth TV set up program
told me- unpnpNotFound (universal plug and play device not
found).
Ideas? Suggestions?

Hello,
You need to extract the files into the /lib/firmware directory.
As root, run the following where you saved the tar.bz2:
1. tar jxf Ha*bz2
2. mv Ha*re/* /lib/firmware
Then unload/reload the kernel modules and/or reboot and then show us your
output from dmesg.
Try to get the device to work with mplayer first before trying to get
MythTV to work.
Justin.

Justin / Mike / Ben /-
I followed your instructions to the letter, to wit:
As root, run the following where you saved the tar.bz2:
1. tar jxf Ha*bz2
2. mv Ha*re/* /lib/firmware
Then I typed in: modprobe pvrusb2
Once out of the terminal I tried but could not find mplayer in my
applications. So I went up on the web and typed mplayer in the
search engine SuSE 11.1 provides. What came up was Kmplayer.
I one click installed Kmplayer and Kmplayer de-bug source. For
some strange reason after a re-boot I could not find Kmplayer in
my applications. I entered the word in the applications search
box but came up dry.
I fooled around with MythTV in my applications folder but still got
the messages: "Universal Plug and Play Device not Found", and,
"Cannot log in to database?"
Running dmesg after a zypper up and a reboot produced:
New USB device found ... usb 5-5 Product Win TV Maunfacturer
Hauppauge... has radio, has IR reciever, has IR transmitter...
pvrusb2: Device initialization completed sucessfully.... firmware
requesting v4l - cx 25840.fw .... cx 25840' 0-0044 loaded
v4l-cx 25840 fw firmware (16382 bytes) ... cx 25840' 0-0044
tda829x 0-0042 setting tuner address to 60 ... pvrusb2
registered device video 1 [mpeg]
Before I did the zypper up and the re-boot dmesg read as above
but with the additional comments: "0x0000 is not a valid video
input!" and "video signal present"
Please let me know at your earliest convenience what steps
I need to take to get MythTV running! This is getting interesting!
Thanks Again For Your Help / Joel
