Hi, up to one week ago I was running with the following setup: wintv nova-s kernel 2.4.18-6 mandrakle 8.2 gcc 3.2.1 driver 0.9.4 of linuxtv
It was working so well that I released a patch for mplayer to make it accept input from the card and to change channel while watching. Someone complained that my patch didn't even compile with newstruct drivers, so I decided to give it a try and adapt the code. Had I never made it! I tried both dvb-kernel, metzlers' drivers and 0.9.4 present in vdr's ftp with each of the following kernels: 2.4.18-6 Mandrake 2.4.21-pre3 / pre4 Mandrake 2.4.18 standard 2.4.20 standard paying attention to follow the instructions and to remove any possible link or include file/dir that could cause ambiguity. The fact is that I can't make my card work anymore with none of the four series of drivers! 0.9.4-vdr (which doesn't even compile with 2.4.2X) insmods but dvbstream (cvs version) always complains that it receives frontend failures 0.9.4 doesn't even compile with 2.4.18 because it doesn't find get_fast_time dvb-kernel/build-2.4: after having replaced videodev*.h files and removed videodev.o from the standard drivers, and after having compiled the drivers ./driver.arm start always tries to load dvb-ttpci but it fails; when I replace the call with modprobe dvb-ttpci-budget I can see in the logs that both the card and the Alps tuner are recognized, and I can even see in in /proc/devices 250 DVB and in /dev/dvb/adapter0 all the needed file (8 or 9) but dvbstream always complains that it can't open the frontend If I modprove dvb_frontend and next dvbdev dvbdev complains of input/output errors, no such device do I need to pass extra parameters when loading the drivers for Nova-s cards? metzlerbros drivers: they always compile and load the drivers but dvbstream always complains that it receives frontend failures and can't lock on the frequency Naturally, after having recompiled the drivers I always reinstalled the headers in the right position and recompiled dvbstream from scratch. I wonder how is it possible that I can't even restore the previous behaviour of the drivers, even with the same kernel-compiler-headers. Am I doing something wrong? Can anyone help me please? Thanks.
