I'm beginning to believe that from a tuning standpoint tinless tuners 
can't even remotely compare to tin-canned tuners (I tried quite a 
lot), let alone that they tend to overheat in short time and
to perform even worse when heat rises. Maybe usb sticks are not the 
best choice if you want a stable reception, or maybe I simply stumbled 
on the crap of the crop (as usual)

[linux-dvb] extra switch for tzap, czap and szap - new tarball and Debian package

2007-07-22 Thread Uwe Bugla
Hi,

As announced I've built a revised tarball plus a Debian package of the current 
dvb-apps repository, implying your patchset (i. e. human readable characters 
as a switch for szap, tzap and czap.

Unfortunately both packages were rejected without giving reason by the list 
moderator of [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I still want to share that work.

As soon as my project will be ready I will be going to host stuff like that on 
my own project page at sourceforge.

If someone needs one or both of the packages please drop me a short note.

Uwe

If you look at the reject messages, they should say:

  Reason:  Message body is too big: 404226 bytes with a limit of 60 KB
and
  Reason:  Message body is too big: 517891 bytes with a limit of 60 KB

The limit is there to protect people who don't have broadband
connectivity, and to protect the list server (with ~2000 list
subscribers, these two mails would have caused ~1.8 GByte of traffic).

Sounds logical. But the main reason you unfortunately forgot to mention:

The limit is there to protect the "highly motivated illustrious" linuxtv 
gatekeepers from doing additional good work in order to share good efforts 
all around the world.

I still got my own experiences and views on the difference between what real 
sophisticated maintainership means in practice @linuxtv.org in comparison to 
the rest of the world-wide linux community. In fact there is a big 
difference.

For example, if I read comments like "you should first ask whether someone 
intends to pick it up (by Christoph Pfister in this specific example) the 
knife in my pocket opens.
A real sophisticated maintainer picks up such efforts like P. van Gaans patch 
set and merges them without making any noise.

Above that, the filter timeout problem in connection with "scan" still remains
unsolved (wasn't it you, Johannes, who once wrote the scan utility?).

Why is the scan result still such a drag? Why are the scan results so 
unreliable? Why are there channels missing in the final result?
Is it a driver issue or an application issue?
And who can help? Who has got the clue to fix that?
And why does this problem not appear within kaffeine's channel scan?

I'm not expecting any answer or fix for that problem - I can help myself.
But I would like to know whether I am the only one to have that problem with 
the scan utility.

[ sorry for the rant, i'm writing to everyone excpet timecop ]

as you already wrote, it's trolling, so you don't need to justify..

we all bery well know how free software communities run and strive to
give the best not only as a simple volunteer effort but also for
straight economical reasons ( reliability, control, efficiency,
standardization etc..).

i do own a pinnacle diversity dvb-t usb dual tuner card and i used it
with an additional patch:

  http://www.chez.com/treza/mt2266.htm
  http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-February/016166.html

it works reliably as a dual tuner card.

the diversity feature is not working (for dual tuner operations, you
need both the antennae input connected..)

Re: [linux-dvb] better choice for PCI DVB-T card

2007-07-22 Thread Nicolas Will
All right, I got only one response so far, privately.

So, allow me a bit of a "bump".

On top of that, I'd really like a dual-tuners solution. I have only 2
PCI slots in my machine, and one of them will be for a DVB-S card.

timecop, no, really, no MCE for me, for my own education I just tried
Vista's. 1 GB or RAM if not enough for that thing? What a shocker ! And
it is as stable as ever...not!

Salut Christophe,

Forwarding the message of this timecop idiot to licra.org may be politically 
correct and consequent in a left or progressive point of view that I share 
with you.

But IMHO you are just paying too much attention to that idiot.
Timecop is not only stupid and dumb as dumb can be (According to Einstein 
dumbness is endless as you surely know), but moreover he is a good example 
that even blacks are not free from racism and antisemitism.

I do not want to overestimate people like timecop, but Malcolm X  is another 
sad example for that basic thesis.

See, Christophe, if you spend a whole lot of life time for demonstrating 
against warfare and racism, and if you, like me, live 10 kilometers away from 
the Nato headquarter you can easily see what intellectual weight class of

The HVR-3000 is "supported" by a branch created by Steven Toth.  It's 
not seen any updates in a while, and currently (as far as I know) 
doesn't compile with kernels after 2.6.18.  It's working ok for me here 
though.  I think the reason for no updates / lack of inclusion in 
mainline dvb is that he is waiting for some sort of multi-protocol code 
to be implemented into the mainline dvb code.

I believe the HVR-4000 has some support - there were a few mails about 
it some time ago on this list - again I believe Steven Toth has a 
separate tree that supports it, but I have no idea of status of that.

Hi Robert,

I have a HVR4000 running stable with a 2.6.21 kernel patched  with
Stevens tree. It is running stable since weeks (with DVB-S)  and I would
like to have it in the standard soon, even if the DVB-T part isn't
supported currently. The integration into newer kernels requires  some
additional patches  and  I  will  continue testing  as soon  as  it  is
in the  standard.

regards Uwe

[linux-dvb] bus control

2007-07-22 Thread Manu Abraham
Hi all,

On one of the devices that i am working upon, it has a bus control entity. ie

The device looks like this

The device consists of

1) a BUS Interface Unit
2) on this bus Interface unit (BIU) there is one single physical I2C bus
3) a built in MASTER demodulator


The I2C bus on the device is _not_ directly connected to any
peripherals such as demods and or tuners.

The bus goes to a control unit where the bus is split into 2 based on
a control word sent to the  Bus Control Unit (BCU)

The split out bus goes out like this

1) goes to the MASTER tuner for the built in demodulator
2) goes to a SLAVE demodulator, which has just one switchable I2C
output for the tuner

ie , the configuration looks like 2, 2 way switches cascaded together,
when the MASTER and SLAVE demodulators are cascaded.

Looking at the device and thinking a lot, i don't see how the control
can fit in as a part of the frontend at all, as the it has nothing to
do with the frontend, but just the BIU.

Some thought that i have, at present go like this

* register independant virtual buses for each device, on device
access, the relevant control word is appended to the BIU device
register.

* have one bus alone, but add a control for the bus such that the
control can be initiated from some place, but as i explained, this
control is not on the frontend/demodulator but on the Host controller.

I would like to hear comments people have on this, or better ideas if any.

Thanks,
Manu

Manu. although you're a rather selfish and utmost egoist human being who has 
destroyed and turned down a lot of good people's efforts by your inside 
living proven selfishness and egoism:

If you could formulate your request a bit less abstract and more filled up 
with some examples then there could be at least a small chance that you get 
some answer at all on your request.

Anyway I got real sick of your attitudes and manners (i. e. no time windows, 
just empty promises never to be fulfilled and so on..). It feels real sucking 
up with you everytime one feels that you do not have any clue to solve 
problems that indeed are existing!

If you still claim to be a core maintainer then please show people that you 
indeed provide the virtues of a real core maintainer. Otherwise stay away 
from claiming to be one!
The basic virtues are:

1. reliability and
2. high communication level!

And please stick to one basic rule or simply leave it and get outta here:
You personally are measured by your positive results (i. e. producing well 
functionable and effective good drivers, no disfunctionable crap, whatever 
device it may be!)

Regards

Uwe

P. S.: Above all my criticism on you personally I still share the basic 
thought with you that Mauro "the horse" Chehab is, regarding his real 
capabilities and his basic attitudes towards a common linuxtv project, just 
another "Apparatschnik" mismatch that absolutely noone needs!

The basic rule of mismatch is:

Every fish starts stinking from the head down to the tail, not and never vice 
versa!!

And this goes for Mister Johannes Stezenbach too

this solution is easy to implement and does not require the frontend
driver to know about its underlying bus.

Just protect your master_xfer function with a mutex, grab it, configure
the bus control unit, transfer the message and release the mutex before
returning.

Replying to my own mail: one second thoughts wondered whether i was
abstract a bit. Other than that when Christoph asked me on IRC on the
same, figured out that it was indeed a bit so.

The device what i mentioned has 2 demodulators and 2 tuners on one
physical I2C bus, which are accessed by selectively switching between
them, since the I2C addresses for the demods are the same. The only
separation being the switch.

So eventually, since words can be abstract, i prefer to depict it with
some code and comments alongwith. Attached is the code that would
control the tuner as well as the MASTER/SLAVE demods.

A note to Patrick: currently i am using the dvb-usb infrastructure. In
the current state dvb-usb uses one single I2C bus, if i were to use
virtual busses to utilize the MASTER/SLAVE combination, with a Control
Word Magic being sent to the device at the time of accessing the
virtual bus, eventually it goes down through the same physical bus.

The issue that i a facing i have depicted as comments in the code itself

Ah, thanks for the pointer. A state machine based on transaction locks
would be the best way to go about it. Also it has the advantage that
the frontend and bus can be loosely coupled as we do now.

[linux-dvb] Hauppauge Nova-T 500 USB disconnects.

2007-07-22 Thread Jim Barber
What is the status of resolving the USB disconnects with the Nova-T 500?

I find I can still easily trigger them just by flicking through channels in 
MythTV.
This has stopped me from being able to put a PC I built to service as a media 
centre.

I'm using Linux kernel 2.6.22 and I used mercurial to get the latest v4l-dvb 
drivers.
I compared the dib*.[ch] source files from mercurial against the DVB drivers in 
the kernel sources.
They are basically the same except the kernel sources removed the '#if 0' 
sections that won't get compiled anyway.

I'm not using EIT with the card as I read this can increase the chances of 
triggering the USB disconnect.
Is there any way to avoid the USB disconnects with this card?
Is there some setting; or a custom patch to either USB or the DVB drivers to 
fix it?

Any help on making this card stable is appreciated.

I am using a dirty hack to try to avoid USB disconnects, and  still don't have 
a disconnect in  three days, but I don't know if it solve the problem. I use 
vdr. You can try it.

Thanks Jose.

That looks like quite a simple patch so I'll give it a go and see what happens.

Out of interest, is this a patch that is a candidate for future merging pending 
some testing? (ie should I be providing some feedback on it?)
Or is it truly just a "dirty hack" :) that will never see the light of day in 
the released sources?

Regards,

[linux-dvb] Hauppauge Nexus-S (saa7146) on Feisty AMD64

2007-07-22 Thread Erich Newell
I am attempting to rebuild a system with a hauppauge Nexus-s card
under Ubuntu Feisty  for AMD64

No matter what I do, I cannot get the system to load the card
properly...or generate any errors. I have udev set to 'debug'.

The only message in the logs is:

 [102.449709] saa7146: register extension 'dvb'.

Running lsmod yields:

 dvb_ttpci 04  0
 dvb_core   93872  1 dvb_ttpci
 saa7146_vv 54400  1 dvb_ttpci
 saa714621896  2 dvb_ttpci,saa7146_vv
 ttpci_eeprom3840  1 dvb_ttpci
 i2c_core   26496  5
i2c_ec,dvb_ttpci,ttpci_eeprom,nvidia,i2c_nforce2

I've also recompiled v4l-dvb and dvb-apps and manually created the
device nodes...to no effect.

Previously, this system was running well under dapper using the same
card/configuration. My pcHDTV card loads without fanfare.

Thoughts?
