From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98) Description of problem: I have tvtuner AverMedia TVPhone'98. I install RedHat7.2 but there is no /dev/video. I create link /dev/video -> /dev/video0 and run kwintv but system hangs. If I want to run it without creating link, it said that there is no /dev/video. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install tvtuner Avermedia TVPhone'98 2. Install RedHat 7.2 3. Run xawtv or kwintv or kv4lsetup... Additional info:
dev-3.2-5 includes /dev/video in RH 7.2. which version of dev package do you have on you machine? You should not create symbolic link to /dev/video0 -> /dev/video. In RHL 7.2 /dev/video is a directory, which contains some devices! kwintv-0.8.5-5 and xawtv-3.54-5 works for me. Which version of kwintv and xawtv do you have? Please download kwintv in powertools-7.1 and xawtv in 7.2 and try again. do you have load bttv modul with correct parameter?
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer included xawtv in Fedora Core. It has been replaced by tvtime. Please upgrade to the latest version of Fedora Core and open a new bug if the problem also occur in tvtime. If you still use xawtv and this bug still persists, please report the problem in upstream bug tracker or on mailing list (usualy they can be found on xawtv website http://linux.bytesex.org/xawtv/). If the project don't have bug tracker and mailing list, you should sent bug report by email to xawtv maintainer. Also Fedora Legacy Project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
