Invalid Module Format

[SchruteRampage]

Hello, I seem to have everything running a built correctly except I am getting one error that I can't figure out.

When I run the 'sudo insmod usbtv.ko' command when I am located in the usbtv folder, I get the error: could not insert module usbtv.ko: invalid module format.

Any ideas?

@overbusy 1) ctrl + c 2) sudo shutdown -h now 3) are u sure that ur connecting on the right IP address?

[overbusy]

Hi amroibahim, ctrl + c doesn't work, so no other command are allowed. The IP is correct coz when I extract the grabber ambi-tv quit in abnormal mode leaving me login and (with the same ping command) the device give answer. I guess the problem is ambi-tv runs before the login. I wonder if unplugging the wall adapter during while ambi-tv is running could corrupt something.

@overbusy are u starting ambi-tv on boot?

[overbusy]

yes amroibrahim, but I did not made any setting, the image I loaded already do that.

[amroibrahim]

I'm not aware of a good way to stop it if it is auto stated on boot , but this is what I do to kill the process get the process number using this command "ps -ef | grep ambi-tv" then "kill -9 process_number"

you can check the autostart by typing: sudo nano /etc/rc.local in commandline

everything that is written between "fi" and "exit 0" starts at boot up

Hello, please help I followed MrJohns42's steps (below) with my easycap dc60 stk1160 grabber. But when I run "mplayer tv:// -tv device=/dev/video0 -hardframedrop" I am getting green picture (or in top part some noise without images)

What am I doing wrong? Please help

Steps: Install Debian Wheezy on SD card (2013-07-26) Run raspi-config, Expand the root file system (expand_rootfs), Configure password, keyboard, locale, timezone, ssh if you want sudo apt-get install git-core git clone https://github.com/gkaindl/ambi-tv.git ambi-tv cd ambi-tv/misc && sudo bash get-kernel-source.sh cd usbtv-driver && make sudo mkdir /lib/modules/3.6.11+/extra sudo cp usbtv.ko /lib/modules/3.6.11+/extra/ sudo depmod 3.6.11+ sudo modprobe videobuf2_core sudo modprobe videobuf2_vmalloc sudo modprobe usbtv Check that video0 is in /dev (if it’s not, STOP, come back here and ask for help) Add videobuf2_core, videobuf2_vmalloc, and usbtv to /etc/modules Check for spidev0.0 in /dev (if it’s there, skip the next 2 steps) Open /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf and comment out ” blacklist spi-bcm2708” with a #. sudo reboot Check for spidev0.0 in /dev (if it’s not, STOP, come back here and ask for help) cd to the main ambi-tv folder you cloned make Create a copy of sample.conf and save as etc/ambi-tv.conf. Configure as necessary Try running bin/ambi-tv Use sudo if required, otherwise, change permissions of the offending file with chmod Add the full path to the ambi-tv executable to /etc/rc.local if you want it to run on startup

green means that your pi or and the grabber dont get enough power...

[pete111]

wohooo, great Phil1988! thank you very much! When I use powered usb hub it works! :)

I'd like to thanks everybody coz my ambi-tv is working even though it is an open pcb with flying cables on the side of my tv set. I still have the problem to get the raspi visible on my network coz the ambi-tv program runs before login, and I still wonder if turning off the power of the raspi could damage my SD. I hope to solve those probelms (searching on /etc/rc.local as told me Phil1988) and hope to find the time to put everything on a box to avoid an angry wife. Bye.

[pete111]

Overbusy, I would temporarily turn off loading of ambi-tv (could be in etc/rc.local), then enable ssh. Then test it from your network and if ssh works, you can reenable ambi-tv. good luck!

pete111, I didn't try yet (I'll do it in the week end) but I can't ping the raspi, so it shouldn't depend on enabling ssh... I should see the raspi without ssh. Bye.

[pete111]

ok overbusy, so maybe there is something wrong in iptables (In the last few days I tried a lot of rasbian versions and I never had this issue with raspi). Try to allow all incoming connection in iptables. (hope this link helps http://superuser.com/questions/634469/need-iptables-rule-to-accept-all-incoming-traffic)

Hello all, I'd like to assign a new gpio to a new push button to allow quitting ambi-tv and launch a "sudo poweroff" to my raspy before pulling the plug. Do anybody have some idea to suggest me on how I could perform that ? I guess that is necessary a daemon running before ambi-tv or some more code in ambi-tv but I never experienced in Linux; I could try by myself with some guideline... Thanks.
