Hello,
Following your instructions here is what I found.
I should also note that I am testing on a live USB stick vs installed on
ssd. This was mainly because I had installed 3-5 different versions and
flavours of linux trying to get this to work and wanted to avoid installing
more until I find a solution. Please let me know if this is an issue.
On Ubuntu 15.04 (Linux ubuntu 3.19.0-15-generic)
The hardware is the IOmega Buz (0.6:09.0 Multimedia video controller
[0400]: Zoran Corporation *ZR36057*PQC Video cutting chipset [11de:6057]
(rev 01)
I looked for drivers in /lib/modules/ that took me to
/lib/modules/3.19.0-15-generic/kernel/driver/media/pci/zoran where I found:
- videocodec.ko
- zr36016.ko
- zr36050.ko
- zr36060.ko
- zr36067.ko
none seem to be a direct match for the zr36057
Tried to load the driver "modprobe -n -v --show-depends zoran" this
resulted "FATAL: Module zoran not found."
Then tried "modprobe -n -v --show-depends zr36067" this seemed to install
modules
insmod /lib/modeules/3.19.0-15-generic/kernel/driver/...ko (ic2/alogo,
media, V4l2, videocodec, zr36067)
but when I "lspci -nnk" it still does not show any subsystem or driver in
use so not sure if it worked... also wanted to try testing it with VLC but
couldn't install as the Ubuntu software center is too old and the links no
longer seem to work. This worries me, if I do get this working will I be
able to install any software (i.e. Kdenlive etc). Don;t know how to do
this if the ubuntu software center isn't working. apt get also had errors
as the folders for this version of ubuntu seem to no longer exist.
Thoughts on how I should proceed?
Thanks for your continued help.
William

That Chip was used in the Pinnacle/Miro DC10(new and old), and in the <br>
Pinnacle/Miro DC30. The Cards use differen IC's for TV encoding a <br>
decoding and for the mjpeg encoder:<br>

That is a older kernel (~8years old) which is a good thing.<br>

The correct driver should be shipped with the linux kernel.<br>
Usually the kernel modules are located in /lib/modules/ go to that <br>
directory and search for zoran, zr36, saa711, adv717<br>
<br>
It should find some files.<br>

If there search did find a zoran module try to load the modules as root <br>
with a command like this for a first test:<br>
modprobe -n -v --show-depends zoran<br>
<br>
And once without the --show-depends, and if the output looks prosing <br>
without the -n<br>
<br>
If there s no zoran.o, replace the zoran with zr36067, so the command <br>
looked like that: modprobe -n -v --show-depends zr36067<br>
<br>
