MythTV Backend Setup produces the message "ERROR, COMPILE WITH V4L SUPPORT TO QUERY AUDIO INPUTS" while adding an HDPVR to capture cards

[ddurdin@…]

After upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04 and installing MythTV 0.24 I tried to run MythTV Backend Setup. While in the "Capture Card" section and selecting "H.264 Encoder Card(HD-PVR)" the message "ERROR, COMPILE WITH V4L SUPPORT TO QUERY AUDIO INPUTS" is seen in the audio input options area.

From syslog:

May 1 12:18:37 mythserver kernel: [ 9.599510] hdpvr 1-6:1.0: firmware version 0x15 dated Jun 17 2010 09:26:53 May 1 12:18:37 mythserver kernel: [ 9.786212] hdpvr 1-6:1.0: device now attached to video0 May 1 12:18:37 mythserver kernel: [ 9.786239] usbcore: registered new interface driver hdpvr

The hdpvr module is active: hdpvr 32310 0 v4l2_common 16490 1 hdpvr videodev 96656 2 hdpvr,v4l2_common

And this produces a playable file:

cat /dev/video0 > test.ts

Then you should compile MythTV with v4l support. This is not a bug, it's a compilation issue (likely related to the fact that 11.04's kernel doesn't support v4l1 which mythTV still requires).

This is true for the Myth PPA release. I could download and compile Myth myself, but moved to the PPA release to avoid doing so. Any chance that the PPA release could be modified to have this flag?

Dup of #9595. 11.04 is using a kernel which MythTV doesn't yet support.
