Great, thanks. Let me know if there's anything I can do or supply to
help test any possible solutions.

Daniel,
I've been testing things for Hans off-list to try and get the WSS
passthrough working under the same circumstances but we're not there
yet... although I haven't had a chance to test 0.3.7e. As your
symptoms are identical to mine except for CC rather than WSS, I
believe this is a generic VBI passthrough/playback problem.
To add to the fun, I'm also having WSS recording problems which we're
trying to get to the bottom of.
I know I've asked this before but does anyone here actually have a
working PAL WSS (widescreen VBI) passthrough setup? ie. you record an
anamorphic TV show (from digital source) and your TV auto-switches to
wide mode when you watch it (in MythTV)?
NB. you need to run 'ivtvctl -w wss -x 1 -b wss' to get anywhere at
all with this...
Cheers,
Wilf.

Any chance you could take a look at the issue that causes the VBI stream
to turn off if you move around in the video (e.g. skip forward in MythTV)?
Without that working, CC is essentially unusable to me, and without CC
this whole linux-PVR thing is nothing more than a toy.
Chris recently said this about it:
"This is something wrong with the firmware I believe, when we go into
ff/rw mode seems to re-init the VBI decoder, so we probably need to
re-setup that when coming out of ff/rw. I hopefully can get around to
that here sooner or later and put some code in to fix that, have been
thinking about that as being a problem but haven't had time to focus on it."
Thanks,
Daniel

Hi all,
I've uploaded ivtv-0.3.7e-hans.tgz to http://www.xs4all.nl/~hverkuil/. Once
Chris has time (and no major bugs are found) it should be uploaded as
ivtv-0.3.7e.tgz at the regular site.
Please give it a spin. If you encounter any problems not related to VBI,
please test it again with version 0.3.7b. If it works fine there, and fails
in 0.3.7e, then mail the list because something regressed.
I especially need testers who:
- have a PVR500 (radio support added)
- use PVR150/500 and PVR350 in the same machine (i2c_enable option should no
longer be needed)
- have problems with VBI
- use NTSC

ChangeLog entry:
#0.3.7e - added back the dropped fixes from 0.3.7c
- added doc fixes from Philip Rowlands
- fix in cx25480 chip probe.
- add PVR500 radio support.
- proper indent of ivtv-cards.c
- fix eeprom radio detection bug
- add line in kernel log to clearly separate each card
- fix bug where calling VIDIOC_G_FMT for the VBI format
would clear the sliced VBI settings. Don't do this if
a capture is running.
- removed dead VBI code.
- improve WSS, VPS and CC passthrough handling. No more WSS
signals should be dropped.
- fix 64-bit bug in embedded VBI causing missing VBI lines.
- fix the sliced VBI internal format: it was entirely possible
to loose data.
- /dev/vbi4 and /dev/vbi0 (for sliced VBI) returned the data in
swapped byte order. Fixed. (Embedded VBI was not affected by
this bug.)
- improve autodetect saa7127, should make the i2c_enable argument
obsolete.
- the vbi tool now selects the appropriate VBI types according to
the tuner standard (NTSC/PAL).
