Watch Live TV error "sage.PlaybackException"

[sstasi]

Do I need to configure IVTV to watch live tv?

I am running on Linux with a Hauppauge 350 card and wasn't able to tune anything at all yet.

IVTV seems to be ok

The Setup Wizard only allows me to set "Cable" or "Antenna/Broadcast", but I have not found how to set PAL-N ( Argentina ) or the frecuency table.


When I click "Watch Live TV" , I do not even get static. After a few seconds, a message appears -> "There was a Playback Error in playback.Details: sage.PlaybackException".

I have attached a copy of sagetv_0.txt in case that it could be usefull.


Thanks
Sergio.

The problem is most likely on the client side. Did you verify you had installed all the needed dependencies?

_Demo_

[sstasi]

I get this error message from the server machine (I guess the client was installed by default ) . The installation has all the packages installed by the base system "livecd-i686-installer-2006.1.iso" and the "Sage installprofile.xml".
I have Added the line "debug_logging=TRUE" to "Sage.properties" in /opt/sagetv/server folder to have a complete version of the "sagetv_0.txt" in case anyone can understand this log.
I believe it might have something to do with adjustments to the PVR 350, and IVTV drivers but after looking for information in google for some hours I have not found much about it.
I live in Argentina and I need to configure the system to Pal-N.
What also confuse me is that I don't even see snow on the preview or display windows.

[_Demo_]

The problem is most likely in the client process which isn't able to play the file. Can you run ldd * in the client directory to see if any libraries are missing?

Libraries seems ok to me.

It seems you are missing libsmbclient.so.0. Could you verify you installed samba? It should have been installed by the sagesetup.sh.

_Demo_

[sstasi]

Thank You ! Samba was not installed completelly and I believe that was part of the problem
After I installed, the error message did not appear any more. Now I can see snow when I click "Live Tv" and also in the preview pane.

I did a "dmesg | grep tveeprom " and among other lines one of them shows that the Hauppauge is configured in NTSC(M) (eeprom 0x08).
I live in Argentina and our norm is Pal-n.
I choose Pal with the "Sage Configuration Wizard" but it doesn't change.
Does anyone know how to setup the card in PAL ?

Regards.
Sergio

Are you sure you have the right card for your region? One thing you could try first is to use a composite or svideo source to see if that works fine.

_Demo_

[sstasi]

I have the model 00990 (WinTV-PVR-350 with NTSC tuner)
I called Hauppauge technical support and they confirmed that it is the model I need for Pal-N (Argentina). Using their software, it is configurable.

I guess there should be a configuratio for PAL in /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modules.d/ivtv.

someone posted in a forum that he wrote in a configuration file :
options tuner pal=1 type=5
and it worked.

If this is correct I need to configure this and other options for the IVTV driver.

[_Demo_]

If your tuner is ntsc I don't think you will be able to use your card with a tuner input. Only the composite and svideo input will work properly for your region.
Unless you are tuning to ntsc frequencies in argentina, do you have any details on the channels?

Could you also first verify the composite or svideo input work?

Thanks
