[linux-dvb] Microtune mt2131 driver wanted badly.

2007-07-11 Thread lwtbenben
Hello, everyone.
 I am now using a usb card with mt2131 as its tuner.
 I googled these info on website:
 "b/linux/drivers/media/dvb/frontends/mt2131.c | 642 +++ >  
b/linux/drivers/media/dvb/frontends/mt2131.h | 70..."

 But I just can not find mt2131.c and mt2131.h on linuxtv.org

 Could someone give me some advice?
 By the way, could someone tell me the difference between the mt2131 and 
mt2060?
 Thank you .

I would be happy enough if Markus' would start telling, why he still
keeps this tuner=37 stuff for his MK3s. --everyone knows that THIS
DOESN'T work for UHF.

Instead some tell you meanwhile, that MK3/4/5/6 tuners work with the old
Philips API and you should accept their patches. No move since more than
one year on that. So, others wait too.

Hm, Markus complains that the community doesn't work, and you're
complaining that it _does_ work -- or what do you mean by
"group mentality"?

Markus always portrays it that way, that there is a group of evil
guys who block his code, who mislead him, who want to retain the
status quo etc. pp.  And now he is the lonely hero who stands up
against the establishment...

IMHO that is complete rubbish. There isn't even a formal group
of "linuxtv core developers". I'm glad that Mauro agreed to
merge the DVB and V4L trees into one, and to do the patch handling
for the combined tree. And I'm glad Mike and Trent do a lot of
patch review and bugfixing work, unseen and unrewarded
my most people. Does that give them any authority to ACK and NACK
patches as they see fit? Hell, no! But the community process works
that way that if someone reviews a patch and has objections, then
these objections must either be addressed or shown to be wrong.
(Read Documentation/ManagementStyle in the kernel to see how it works ;-)

In Markus case, serveral people who looked at his patches had
objections, but he refused to address them, but was unable to
either show the objections as being wrong, or get a _single_ other
developer to back up his position. Instead there were threats
to "fork the linuxtv project" if his code wouldn't get merged...

The sad thing is that only a relatively small part of Markus'
code has problems, and the bulk of it could have been merged
without it, leaving out the xc3028 v4l/dvb arbitration functionality.
But Markus didn't want this.

Anyway, there are many patches which are rejected from the
Linux kernel or have to go through significant transformations
before they are allowed into the kernel. You should read the
linux kernel mailing list for a while, maybe you'd then see
that the entry level for patches into v4l/dvb is fairly low
compared to the high standards required for core kernel code
like scheduler, timekeeping, networking, VM, block IO layer etc.

That's not what I said, I can tell a patch submission from a flame
quite well, thanks.

2007-07-11 Thread Ilariu Raducan

Hi,

I had the same problem for a long time.
For me it helps to boot in windows (with vendor driver installed) and reboot
in linux (not poweroff).
That helped for a while.
Now the PCI subsystem ids of the card are incorrect. People say this happens
quite often.
I have patched the drivers to ignore the subsystem ids for bt8.. drivers.

You are better off buying other cards. Twinhan cards have a lot of problems:
- not very stable
- signal and quality are not reported correctly.
- eeprom gets corrupted and subsystem id are wrong.
I can go on ...

Regards,
Ilariu

I've dug into the source a bit, and it seems that in
drivers/media/video/bt8xx/bttv-i2c.c, I get an interrupt from the card
without BT848_INT_RACK set, but BT848_INT_I2CDONE is set.  If someone
can shed a bit of light on why this might be happening, it would be
greatly appreciated.

Right now, I'm off to see if it works at all in 32-bit mode.

Hey people reading that:
I am only a user / administrator. I know that my statement may not be relevant
at all. But I like to state my opinion on the real bullshit that has been
going on here, hoping for personal consequences of whatever kind!

Personal disagreements - Mauro is very well doing v4l, but hasn't the
slightest idea about DVB as a matter of fact! In spite of that he is
intending to play the fascistoid "Big Boss" (i. e. the biggest asshole that
one ever can imagine) on the "common project"

Mister Johannes Stezenbach, programmers are like musicians - very narcistic
and highly emotional. Now if you can't take that you've missed something
during your secondary socialisation of whatever kind, man!

> For example you (first trying to help, afterwards doing nothing),

YES! Johannes is nothing but a so-called "apparatschnik", i. e. not helpful at
all! Proof: his motherfuckin' "scan utility" which is highly suboptimal, if
not to say: Rubbish! But instead of investigating time to improve that
bullshit utility he preferes to play the big "guru" of GPL philosophy and
others which is pretty energy-saving for him, but not for the rest of the
linux community world! Johannes sucks!

> * Manu Abraham (who has his project split from the maintree for a very
> long time too),

YES! Manu Abraham promised me a bttv-free driver for his "holy kingdom, if not
to say dvb-bt8xx clone cards of TwinHan months ago, thus freezing the current
kernel driver state of TwinHan and clones, and I did a whole of testing and
feedback effort (even more that I should or was expected), and Markus,
although flamed and ignored, sent me a dummy driver apt to resolve the
problem in Manu's project called cx878 (i. e. the bttv-free bt8xx-driver) and
the result of this lazybone who has lots of time to rant around on
linuxtv-irc was and is this:
a.) http://www.thadathil.net (i. e. NO motherfuckin' development at all for
TWO MONTHS now!
b.) http://www.just.de/manu (incomplete drivers)
c.) consequent ignorance of Markus's input, transformed by me for the cx878
project

> * Marcel Siegert (who listens to other people's opinion and didn't

YES! He seems to care for dvb-utils, but is nothing but an incapable
opportunist doing nothing - another goddam opportunistic inacceptable
lazybone - nad dvb-utils are bullshit, aren't they?

2007-07-11 Thread Manu Abraham
Hi,

Please check whether any of these works

 * change PCI slot
 * try a cold boot (remove the power completely, just soft switching
OFF might not help)

If not probably the card doesn't work ?

2007-07-11 Thread Julian
Since this disscussion is public...
I'm going to put in my 2 cents.

If you actually read his posts - Like alot of end users are. Its the flames 
and personal attacks that are coming from the group mentality here (im sure 
theres a wiki that can explain that too)

So if we are talking about changes to the core and how v4l and dvb devices 
will work under linux in the future. He/they with the best solution will win 
via non-bias peer review and hopefully *beyond* the linuxtv project. So if 
Markus persists enough (he seems the only one consistently reworking what he 
has already done - but everyone seems to skim past that in his posts...) he 
will succeed.

I admire anyone that makes an effort against the status quo that fails to move 
anywhere really, and spends more effect resisting any kind of change than 
actually doing anything or offering an alternative.

Just because he is outnumbered with support here means absolutely nothing.
May the best code win.

>Your attempts to force the merge with flames and ultimatums
>(yes, plural) failed. Surprise, surprise...

how soft do people get with their drivers that they see a patch submission - 
as a flame? great fear patch bomb? it another year or so you might find that 
no patch will save you at all..no..its called a re-write then.
The more you put it off, the worse its going to get. 

Time will tell.
Trial and error is what its all about. remember .
So Just try it.

"A few people offered to help you" is the same as:

A few people (especially the ones which are mentioned later) partly
don't have a good overview about everything, and/or neither do they
care about several requirements which are needed to get something work
properly.
And these cool people would just work on the core and tell me that I

How comes that Manu tells me that he won't ask Mauro that he should

For example you (first trying to help, afterwards doing nothing),
* Manu Abraham (who has his project split from the maintree for a very
long time too),
* Marcel Siegert (who listens to other people's opinion and didn't
even spend a minute on thinking by himself how to find a solution)
* Oliver Endris, did some tests and afterwards denied the merge
because he found a bug which got resolved right after he reported it.

There were a few options, freeze the development of v4l-dvb merge in
that code and fix whatever someone thinks he has to fix; there are
many requirements covered within that code and all you guys did is to
ignore it and nothing else.. Manu came up with something and didn't
even talk to me about it if it would be ok with the work I've done and
guess what he didn't even cover all the requirements which are already
solved.

Now, all the other developers are far away from such a misbehaviour.

This "the bad linuxtv guys blocked my drivers for years"
allegation is unsubstancial as I tried to show in
http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-June/018853.html

IMHO it is your inability to make compromises and work with
the community which blocked the merge. Issues don't just
magically resolve all by themselves if you just wait long enough.
Your attempts to force the merge with flames and ultimatums
(yes, plural) failed. Surprise, surprise...

Well I don't close the development because of all that it just goes
another path around linuxtv.org. In general it's no big deal anymore
with the existing code since I already put it into userspace.
It will be an issue with newer drivers which I do not intend to share
with a group of people who are unable to discuss technical issues and
just try to cut everyone down.

Remember all that code could have been in the kernel for around 1 year
without breaking any device if these few core people (and there are
really only very few ones <5) wouldn't have tried to hit it down.

I'm sure the project would go on way faster if everyone who has never
investigated the dvb core project and who has no experience with that
piece of code (and writing a dvb driver doesn't shed much light about
the dvb framework) would just stay out of everything.

It's now about 14.000 lines of code, around 7000 inkernel lines, and I
haven't received _any_ participation request of any developer and all
you get if you ask people to join the project is that they are busy
with their work (which is ok) but then don't try to manipulate someone
else's work in the end.
Nothing is getting better here if linuxtv.org people don't work together.

Companies will for sure not like to rely on such a mess where finally
a few wannabes try to play the smart guys and are responsible that
support for alot devices won't get into the kernel.

As an outsider to this discussion - but nonetheless an interested
party - I find this sort of approach really dispiriting. Do I have to
point out that you yourself have been CC'ing the em28xx ML right up
until this very last post?

Accusing anybody of "spamming" on a subject this important to all
parties - the licensing - serves very little purpose whatsoever, other
than inflaming emotions, and nobody wishes for that.

You can't pick and choose who receives their rights under the GPL and
who doesn't (surely this is one of the benefits!), you just have to

YOU sended an email to linux-dvb ml including a cc to your very own em28xx ml.

it is normal to REPLY TO ALL if someone answers this.

dont claim johannes to spam the em28xx ml, as this is a discussion that again

I wonder what you mean by "I don't want my work to be stolen by
linuxtv people"?

You had your code up for download on linuxtv.org and then on mcentral.de
for months, and you asked lots of people to download and test it, which
IMHO clearly is "distribution under the GPL".

So everyone who downloaded it has every right granted by the GPL
to modify and redistribute your code under the GPL, which implies
it could be merged it into the main linuxtv.org tree and eventually
the kernel. Of course it doesn't make sense to merge unsupported code
(which even has known issues wich need to be resolved first), however if
someone would adopt it I see no (legal) reason for not merging it.

Maybe you don't like this to happen, but IMHO all the
people who downloaded and tested your code, and contributed
back in form of bug reports, hardware information, patches etc.
wouldn't have done so if they had known that your code would
not be merged into the mainline kernel. Some people might even
have bought hardware after they read though your Wiki pages,
under the impression that it was well supported by Linux.

Of course you are free to do whatever you like with the
code written by you, but everyone else is free to do
what the GPL permits them with the code distributed by
you under the GPL.

[linux-dvb] Hauppauge HVR-3000

Hi,

I'm trying to setup the above card to work in DVB-S mode without success.

I'm using Suse 10.1, with kernel 2.6.16.21-0.8-smp (distro release) and
the latest hg downloaded drivers from linuxtv.org, also I tried steven's

loaded.

Many times I have to play with cx8800/cx8802 load to register the dvb-t

charset="gbk" Hi,everyone I am now developing my own tv card's driver. While I 
am debugging, I just found a problem when I used "modprobe -r" to rmmod my 
driver module, it is like this: a. When I don't insert my hardware, modprobe 
dvb-usb-mymodule.ko and modprobe -r dvb-usb-mymodule.ko were well executed. b. 
First, I insmod my module: modprobe dvb-usb-mymodule.ko Then, I insert my own 
hareware. And if I want to rmmod my module: modprobe dvb-usb-mymodule.ko It is 
bad. The terminal is dead, and the modprobe thread is hanging on and can't be 
killed. I must reboot to make it. So, could anybody help me with this issue? 
Thank you very much. -- next part -- An HTML attachment

Trent, I believe you're smart enough to see the problem behind
everything .. the license stuff is the smallest part of everything;
I don't steal and obfuscate code and remove the copyrights.
And I for sure will not tell anyone how he has to do his work after a
discussion where I didn't seriously participate.
The code as it is will get removed sooner or later and replaced with a
smaller package which only contains the necessary drivers.

I wonder what you try to gain by bothering about the license there all
you can win is the removal of the code there and the release of the
replacement of the around 80% finished reworked code. So please stay
serious and better try to fix the community problems that something
like that won't happen again.

Markus

I've dug into the source a bit, and it seems that in 
drivers/media/video/bt8xx/bttv-i2c.c, I get an interrupt from the card 
without BT848_INT_RACK set, but BT848_INT_I2CDONE is set.  If someone 
can shed a bit of light on why this might be happening, it would be 
greatly appreciated.

Right now, I'm off to see if it works at all in 32-bit mode.

Ok, now I'm confused...when I use one filter by calling
dvbdemux_set_section_filter with filter[0] and mask[0] set to something, I
get sections.

If I use two filters by calling dvbdemux_set_section_filter with
filter[0], mask[0], filter[3], mask[3] set to something, I get no sections
at all...

Do I need to do anything special to use multiple filters?

Second, unused filter and mask values are set to 0x00, but how does the
API distinguish between an unused filter/mask pair and a request for all
sections? It seems that if I call dvbdemux_set_section_filter with mask[0]
= 0x00 and filter[0] = 0x00 I do get all sections...
