Setup Wizard cannot see video preview

psenechal · #1 09-19-2006, 12:17 AM

So...I've gotten to the point that SageTV is installed and running and I'm going through the Setup Wizard. When I get to the part to configure my tuner cards, I see both of them listed, however, when I select TUNER, I don't see the video and I receive the error:

There was a Playback Error in playback. Details: sage.PlaybackException

the log file shows the following:

Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help

This problem apparently could be audio related. I'm getting the following during boot:

CS4232 soundcard not found or device busy
CS4232 soundcard not found or device busy
No WaveFront cards found or devices busy
No WaveFront cards found or devices busy

I'm running a VIA chipset with what I thought was an 82xx soundcard built into it.

Any ideas?

psenechal · #3 09-19-2006, 01:54 AM

Here's the soundcard line from lspci if this helps:

00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)

Don't know why it's trying to load the 4232 on boot. How do I change the card that alsa is trying to load?

You cab try running alsamixer to know if the sound card is detected or not.

_Demo_

psenechal · #5 09-19-2006, 09:33 AM

Well...I ran alsaconf and it detected and configured the card. I ran alsamixer and everything looks normal. I checked the modules files and the correct soundcard is listed. If I restart alsa, it looks like it is loading the right card.

HOWEVER...on boot, it still tries to load the 4232 driver and fails. And SageTV won't display video or audio.

I had to recompile the kernel to get the ati-drivers to work properly. Do I need to emerge the alsa-drivers again or should the changes I made above be sufficient to get this working?

psenechal · #6 09-19-2006, 04:03 PM

Well...this is not related to the soundcard. I've got that working fine now. I'm still getting the video error when trying to configure my capture cards (PVR-250s).

Anyone have ideas on what this could be?

_Demo_ · #7 09-19-2006, 04:12 PM

If you recompiled your kernel you will also need to recompile ivtv. You can see if it's installed properly by running dmesg and looking for the ivtv loading messages.

psenechal · #8 09-19-2006, 04:38 PM

I reinstalled everything since then and did the kernel compile before I installed SageTV. Here is my ivtv output in dmesg:

Try manually watching some tv. I only have 1 tuner card but what you might want to do is check out what the input numbers are for your 2 tuners from ivtvctl. Then double check that sage has the same numbers. I was having problems because sage thought my svideo was at a different location than it was. Just an attempt, but knowing whether you can actually watch tv without sagetv is a start. Try cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg once you have the card tuned. The second card might be somthing else so make sure they both work. Yo can also do "mplayer /dev/video0"

_Demo_ · #10 09-21-2006, 08:37 AM

Does it give you a number on the error, what is it?

Thanks

Hi all,
Good to hear you resolved your network issue. The sage.PlaybackException caused me many hours of grief. When I worked with Sage tech support they had me switch sage into debug mode and send them the logs as I recreated the problems I was having.

You already found sagetv_0.txt but there are other logs. Can you please post Xorg.0.log found in /var/log/. This will tell us what drivers are being loaded for X.

Also in the client directory in /opt/sagetv edit the sageclient.sh to read:

#java -cp MiniClient.jar:. sage.miniclient.MiniClient $1 $2 2>&1 > /dev/null

java -cp MiniClient.jar:. sage.miniclient.MiniClient $1 $2 &> miniclient.log

Once you make the edit to sageclient.sh, reboot the machine and recreate the exception. Then ctrl-alt-backspace to kill X. Then copy the Xorg.0.log and minilog.txt to the forum.

The minilog.txt file will have bloody-gorey details on the exception. Given those 2 log files we can pin point exactly (video, sound, other) what's not working.

Thank you George Oms (sage tech support) for how to get logs out of sagetv.

slamduncan · #12 04-09-2007, 03:18 AM

Trying to find the route cause of a dreaded playbackexception error. Modified the client startup script as mentioned here. The logfile gets created but only has one line in saying "Starting MiniClient" even after I recreate my problem. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
