Re: [Freevo-users] kernel 2.6.27 and Hauppauge PVR 350 card : some troubles
Pascal Schirrmann a écrit : Should I submit a bug request in Freevo (Or should I try to patch myself ? I'll try, but I'm soo slow...) Thanks, Pascal OK, forget it :-) Just a fast jump in v4l2.py gave me the solution : I did set secam-l in freevo.conf, as this is the value that works with v4l2-ctl. But v4l2.py wait for secam_l So, with secam_l in my freevo.conf, freevo is running fine again :-) Thanks, Pascal - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users

Duncan Yeah I noticed this and it fails to load the firmware so now and then on my pvr150 with ivtv 2.3.0, As an result I am ending up with a lot of static recordings.

[Freevo-users] kernel 2.6.27 and Hauppauge PVR 350 card : some troubles
Hi, freevo 1.8 svn, on a brand new Linux (Mandriva 2009) installation, but on a 'working yesterday' harware : I had some troubles to install every needed dependency, the 2.6.27 kernel is a little young. For example, I had to install a cvs version of lirc, the lirc 'official' doesn't compile on kernel above 2.6.25. So far so good, my freevo installation is nearly working. But I encounter a strange trouble while watching or recording TV. I'm in France, so most program are in SECAM, I don't know if this has something to do with my trouble. The trouble is : in some case, I have no sound when watching TV. It seems (not done each and every tests) that I have sound only if the source channel is delivered in stereo. It's not a frequency trouble : On one channel, the program is 'time spitted between two senders. One sender send in stereo : I have the sound and the other in mono : no sound. This is probalby not a freevo trouble, and I'll try to find answer on other souces, but if someone have ideas or test suggestion :-) Thanks, Pascal - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users

I've got PAL and haven't noticed any problems yet but have not had much time to test, a look at the ivtv mailing lists might throw up some info.

Thanks John, alltough I allready used dkms drivers, I didn't really search out what kind of (mice) thing this is ! So I just did a little google, and for sure, the dkms version is better for a remote needing a kernel dependant mode, like the hauppauge remote ! So I just installed the dkms version of lirc, and great : this version includes the lirc_i2c module :-) One less step at the next kernel update... There certainly were some problems in the ivtv driver with stereo detection (not sure what versions are affected or if it's fully fixed but when I came across it it was 12 or 18 months ago). I've got PAL and haven't noticed any problems yet but have not had much time to test, a look at the ivtv mailing lists might throw up some info. Yes, I read some audio troubles with the ivtv module, but not exactly something like the trouble I encounter. But my latest tests let me think that I have only audio when I receive a NICAM signal (SECAM wasn't able to carry a stareo signal : the sound modulation is in AM so when Stereo was to add, a new system was build, with a numeric stereo signal put in some invisible line of the picture. In other words, I can receive sound from the picture !) If a do some diff with the main freevo system here (kernel 2.6.24), I see that v4l2-ctl -T set the sound to lang1 on the working system and let the sound to stereo on the muted system.

So freevo complains, but the TV has sound !) Is there an official way to do that (without hacking a program file ?) BTW, NICAM channel sound level is way lower than classical channels (again, on my system). Could it be feasible to have a sound level by channel (probably a lot of work...) ?
