[linux-dvb] JustDVb 2.0 released today..

2007-06-27 Thread Andrea Venturi
hi

we want you to know that Cineca just released the 2.0 version of the
JustDvb-It suite.

It's a set of tools useful for DVB stream creation and manipulation,
expecially for the italian interactive digital television world (DVB
MHP), but we are moving to OCAP and BD-J too..

Many more info here:

  http://www.cineca.tv/labs/mhplab/JustDVb-It%202.0.html

There are many new features, like more DVB ASI cards supported,
compressed modules, LCN  EPG and a new live cd very useful as a
starting demo.

you can get it freely, as usual, here; you just need to get an username
by email:

  http://www.cineca.tv/labs/mhplab/index-en.html

bye

 This looks like the same problem I was having when I tried using a PCI

Sounds like a reasonable assumption.

- Was this behaviour the same under a Windows OS?

- Is there any driver related to the PCI bridge that might be the source
of the problem?  (I'm assuming the expander contains the PCI bridge 
I'm not familiar)

- Do you think its possible that it might BIOS related ... i.e PCI
bridge correctly passes off info for two devices but mobo/BIOS only
accepts info for one device (or doesn't know what to do with a second
set of info) for that populated PCI slot ?

Re: [linux-dvb] Fix of enum usage in tzap

2007-06-27 Thread Christoph Pfister
Hi,

2007/6/14, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 Hi,

 Please find attached the patch that corrects enum usage in tzap code.
 The problem is that the code passes enum references as int*, which is not
 correct in some cases. There are ABIs for which sizeof(int) != sizeof(enum),
 so a function using the pointer for writing to an enum field as int* clobbers
 nearby data (other structure members, in this case).

 One example of such an ABI is ARMs EABI and I'm using tzap on one embedded box
 based on ARM EABI (Buffalo LinkStation Pro). Original tzap code was not able
 to tune (passing e.g. code_rate_HP as invalid FEC_NONE, while channels.conf
 contained FEC_2_3), after the patch, it works for me.

I applied your patch (some white-space stuff fixed), as nobody else
seems to take care of it ...

 I didn't inspect othet code too carefully, but it seems that other channels
 file parsers in dvb-apps are OK (except czap?).

Ok, will have a (quick) look.

 Hello Nick,
 
 Thx for your replies!
 

Take a look at
http://www.rasterburn.org/~aet/m920x/m920x-twalker-rl506.patch
This driver should not belong to m920x.c since it's not based on m920x
(noticed that afterwards).

Couple notes:
- m920x_identify_state will most likely not work for your device
- m920x_firmware_download routine should not be used for this
device(assuming you have to dl firmware)
- you need to make sure adapter field of tvwalker_lr506_properties is
properly filled

You can examine other drivers that use CY7C68013A(FX2) to figure out
what still needs to be done.

Couple pointers:
19:30  mkrufky most likely, the dvb-usb-firmware's default
CYPRESS_FX2 handling should do the job

19:31  mkrufky you may want to
look at the FIRST entry in cxusb, for the medion 95700, for an example
of what a typical dvb_usb_device_properties struct looks like for an
FX2 device

19:31  mkrufky (dont look at the bluebird ones -- we had
to override the firmware download routing with a USB PID firmware patch)

  Are you able to open it up and find out
  what chips are inside?
 Okay... I already posted some bits about it in my first post - but
 this may be a bit messy... english is not my native language. So here
 are the ICs I have found inside:
 
 On the Top (or I just call it top)
   Phillips 8275AC1
   CY7C68013A (Cypress?)
 And on the bottom:
   TDA1004GHT SA1371.1
 Additionally ther is also a small 8pin SMD chip, where I cant read
 the number/id, because ther is a blue color-spot on it. Maybe it is a
 i2c (or 1-wire or similiar) flash, which stores the firmware? So that
 ther is no download needed at all... But Iam just guessing right into
 the blue.
 
 I have made some pictures of the device (and its inside), you can
 find it under:
http://danyserv.selfip.org/pic/thumbnails.php?album=27
 
  You should try to extract your device's firmware from that dvbsnoop
  output so you won't be dependent on Windows when you get the device
  working.
 Oh... did i write _dvb_snoop... of course i meant _usb_snoop... sorry
 for that, but i guess you thought the same thing, i was meaning.
 
 Okay, I will try, but I have no (deeper) experiences with USB nor  
 DVB(-drivers), so Iam not sure, if ill get anything :)
 
The logfile: http://nopaste.info/eead046817.html
  I couldn't download this; it is wrapped in HTML.
 Okay, here i have it as plaintext again:
 I started the usbsnoop
 ( http://benoit.papillault.free.fr/usbsnoop/ ) befor i connected the
 stick and stoped it some seconds after i had plugged it in.
 
 The log file can be found under:
   http://danyserv.selfip.org/dir/LifeView/usbsnoop.log  (~600kb)
 
 I made a second log, which includes the plugin and the start of the  
 DVB-App and some seconds of the TV-stream:
   http://danyserv.selfip.org/dir/LifeView/usbsnoop_tv.log.bz2
 (~200kb) (I truncated the log after some big packets, bec. the whole
 log had ~200MiB)
 
 So, thats all for now, i thank you for any help you (or anybody else)
 can provide.

[linux-dvb] Unfetchable firmware file tt_budget_217g.zip / tda10045tda10046

2007-06-27 Thread Matthias Schwarzott
Hi there!

Next bad news about unfetchable file for get_dvb_firmware.
The file http://www.technotrend.de/new/217g/tt_budget_217g.zip is disappeared 
like the tt_Premium_217g.zip file some days ago.

The file tt_budget_217g.zip is used for da10045 and tda10046.

@adq:
Is it possible (or have you already done that) to ask technotrend if they 
could provide just the needed (small) file, or allow redistribution?
As that should be cheeper with respect to used download-bandwidth to fetch 
just some 100kB than 10 or 20 MB for the zipfiles.

Matthias

 so...
 
 1) how to make this device be happy with its own firmware? (or how to
 check that if the firmware i got through snoopypro and m920_sp_parse
 is ok or needs to be improved?)

Firmware you found was most likely too short. Binary file size should
be about 3.3K. Take a look at http://rafb.net/p/0t085M48.html

Line 000439:  OUT: 01 ms 000439 ms 40 22 01 00 69 ff 00 00  is
the important one here that you need to find in order to verify that
you havent missed anything. I think m920_sp_parse one bug that prevents
it from generating proper file when reading from usbsnoop. Anyway, let
me know when you find a dump with either 69ff(usbsnoop uses
different byte ordering) or ff69.

 
 2) what kind of test can i apply to guess what is the right frontend
 and what parameters to use in the m920.c file in order to get it
 loaded when the device is connected?

Used components can be identified by looking at usb dumps. You can also
open your device if you wish. Though, we will need some logs anyway.

Hello,

http://marc.info/?l=linux-videom=118289479416612w=2

Sorry, my question is, where one can look up if the pinning of a newer
chip we support is also only under NDA available. Previously often at
least that was public. (examples now saa7131e, tda10046a, tda8275ac1)

If I don't find anything on the web, whom I have to ask that question,
the NDA holder, the manufacturer or do we have a list, because everybody
knows that this can be helpful to identify hardware differences and this
question is always asked already?

Thanks,

Re: [linux-dvb] What adapter to use with Swedish Comhem

 1) Works without hitches under Linux and MythTV. The stability is of
 outmost importance.
 2) Works with Com hem and has good and stable CI support.
 3) Is not too expensive. MPEG playback functionality is not needed.
 4) Can be bought in Sweden.

I'm using two Terratec Cinergy 1200 DVB-C in Linux (2.6.21 has native 
support for the new MK3 version) with MythTV. Can't answer for it's CI 
support, I'm using a softcam/Phoenix interface solution since I had the 
Phoenix lying around already and I wanted a dual-tuner solution.

They were about 600 + VAT from Deltaco when I bought them. See URL:

http://www.prisjakt.nu/produkt.php?p=62357

I've had them in my Myth box for three or four months now, haven't had 
any trouble. They are a bit pickier about signal quality than Comhem's 
old Sagem box, but if you have good signal (or get yourself an 
amplifier) you're home free.

 Also, can someone recommend a CAM that works with Com hem without problems.

Any original Conax cam will work. Check the wiki for recommended CAMs.

 Finally, I would also like to hear about any experiences people might
 have using MythTV to receive digital TV from Com hem. I have used VDR to
 receive TV from Com hem with my Siemens card and MythTV to receive
 analog TV but never MythTV to receive DVB streams...

DVB in Myth is incredibly easy. All in all, after getting used to Myth 
(which took a while), the complete installation from compiling SVN to 
watching TV probably took me an hour or two. Scanning channels can't be 
easier, swedb has all the listings.. everything basically just works.
