bttv driver

Please check the v4l wiki for most recent informations about video4linux and the drivers. As I don't maintain v4l any more the informations below will bitrot over time. I'll keep them online for now, but at some point in the future the pages will likely disappear.

about bttv

bttv is linux driver for TV cards based on the bt848 and bt878 chips.

No, I do not plan to port the bttv driver to other platforms.

Driver releases are available for download right here. Note that the bttv driver also is included in the standard kernel.

bttv 0.9.x

This is the current, actively maintained version of the bttv driver. It supports the v4l2 API and is included in the 2.6.x kernels.

bttv 0.7.x

This version supports the v4l API only and is currently shipped with the 2.4.x kernels. Support for this version likely will stop in near future in favor of the 0.9.x versions.

older versions

0.7.95
is the last one with support for 2.2.x kernels. You also need a i2c patch to use that with 2.2.x kernels.
0.6.4h
Last one known to work on 2.0.x kernels.
