Re: [linux-dvb] [PATCH] allow dvb-usb firmware loading in warm state?
Hi Ivor,
how sure are you that really the new firmware was downloaded?
It is not possible to download another firmware, once a firwmare was
downloaded. Meaning you cannot stop the firmware running already, it will
simply continue to run. When the new firmware downloaded is only slightly
different it may not crash, otherwise it will simply stop to work.
So your patch enables something which was meant to be not there because of
hardware limitations.
Patrick.

Hi,
I was having (still am! :) trouble with my nova-t 500 card and I wanted
a way to be able try a different firmware... but the current code only
loads in a cold state... and my mythbackend is pretty inaccessible, so
I made the attached change. This allows a module parameter of
force_load_firmware which causes the cold state logic to be used
when warm. Thought this might be a useful idea, it was handy for me anyway.
Cheers,
Ivor

[linux-dvb] Patches review for Nova-T-500
All, and maybe Patrick in particular, There is a list of patches here: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-NOVA-T-500#Drivers Some could probably be considered for inclusion into the main tree. Some may be hacks that probably have a good reason to be, but with a weird implementation and may need some additional work. Could someone with experience give it a look and review what's good or not? Cleaning up that part, thus making it easier to make it work consistently, will make the Nova-T-500 even more appealing to DVB-T users. Many thanks !

Re: [linux-dvb] winfast dtv dongle (dib0700) support
Hi, I also have the Winfast DTV Dongle (dib0700) and have had it running for months now on the kernel in the Gutsy repo with no mods (Currently, 2.6.22-14). The restricted driver manager in Gutsy even picked up the device, downloaded and installed the firmware. Is there any other information you can supply? Thanks, Michael On 22/01/2008, Jeff Bailes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Phil, I got a winfast dtv dongle a week ago and got it working with 2.6.23. I first checked which version I had (6f00 or 6f01) using lsusb. Turns out I had the 6f01 which my kernel didn't support. So as a quick fix I recompiled the kernel changing the all occurrences of 6f00 in drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-ids.h to 6f01. Then I just copied the firmware to /lib/firmware and it worked.

This seems to suggest that the very soon comment in the wiki is correct. By the way, the device works fine on the exact same machine under Windows, so there are no hardware issues as such. Can anyone give me any idea when support might be complete for this device? Or if support is there in the kernel, why I might be having trouble getting the device to be recognised? P.S.

[linux-dvb] compiled drivers break some others - is this common for all driver-projects in linuxtv.org
Hello Maybe this is a strange question: I have a Pinnacle PCTV-Stick (em2880); its drivers (em2880 project at linuxtv.org) breaks (and therefore disables loading) other drivers like gspca/pwc and other webcam drivers. As far as I investigated, this is a common problem for this driver. As I saw e.g. for the af9015 driver the installation (compilation) seems quite similar: So: are _all_ drivers from the projects (for different chipsets) of linuxtv.org supposed to be modify the v4l API * so severely (or is this a speciality of the em2880 driver? ) kind regards, -- ### # # # # Wolfgang # # # #Friedl * sorry, I am not a programmer, but I think that this is the topic. ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

That's not to say that the driver doesn't work, I'm sure its something I trying to do. The DVB portion is working fine. I'm trying to test using MythTV. First off the driver is creating 2 video devices in /dev. I'm guessing that one of them is the analog card with MPEG2 encoder support and the other is just a the frame grabber. When I select /dev/video1 ( I used ivtv_first_minor to move off the PVR500 /dev links ) in the MythTV setup it recognizes the card ( probes correctly ) and shows me what my inputs are to select from. I chose Television ( vs s-video etc ). When I attempt to watch LiveTV it just never starts. Actually it does start, and then exits back to the menu. The frontend doesn't see a recording file being generated. I can cat /dev/video1 to a file and get audio and video. But the video is super dark. I can barely make out any shapes. But the audio is fine. So I spoke a bit too soon. For whatever reason it started working in Myth, although I still can't get a good cat /dev/video1. BUt I can't change the channel. When I try and change the channel Mythfrontend reports an error and the exits back to the menu. When I go back into livetv it is on the same original channel and there is no audio.

[linux-dvb] How can I ever succeed using DVB-T on Gentoo Linux?
Hi guys, I have been trying to get DVB working under Gentoo for quite some time now. At first my goal was to receive encrypted DVB-S through a PCI card. That adventure took me through a list of cards: Terratec Cinergy without a CAM module - this could recieve Free TV Pinnacle systems card with a CAM module - This could only recieve free TV Hauppauge-NEXUS-S card without a CAM module Hauppauge-NOVA-S with a CAM module. I actually made the last one work, but it could only tune for about 15 minutes and I often needed to coldstart the PC. I gave up on the DVB-S units almost a year ago and have now moved toward DVB-T cards, hoping that life without a CAM module is easier. Denmark recently started DVB-T services. This adventure has now taken me through 4 different cards. A pinnacle stick (USB ID: eb1a:2870) that only seem to reveal a analog tuner. So no luck with that yet. A AGK stick (USB ID: 15a4:9020), that is recognized as an af9005 device, but it cant scan any services. Two Hauppauge Nova-T-USB sticks (2040:7070). that could scan and tune, but had alot of noise in the signal. I tried variuous firmwares that finally ended up killing one of the units. A Hauppauge NOVA-T-PCI, which sort of works but there is a lot of noise in the signal. I feel I am getting closer, but it is very frustrating to spend alot of time and money getting nowhere. So i figured I would try to explain what I have done, hoping for someone to point out some obvious mistake. I have tried a range of PC's using Gentoo on all of them. The one I use now is a Core2 Duo running i686 mode. (I tried installing an Amd64 profile, but that really made the mercurial v4l-dvb package complain.) I do a normal gentoo stage3 install following http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?full=1. On top of that i have installed vanilla-sources, so my kernel is 2.6.23.9. Then I fetch the v4l-dvb and dvb-apps packages (as root) using: hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/dvb-apps then i do make make install in both of the directories and reboot. Then I enter the v4l-dvb directory and do a make reload. This seem to load modules, but with very mixed results. I read dmesg to see if my device has been detected. If this wakes up one of my devices I usually do a scan for channels using: scan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/dk-All (I usually use one device at a time, to avoid mixups) This evening this procedure revealed a poor subset of the channels I know is available in my signal. All very noisy. I try to record using: gnutv -out file test.mpg -timeout 5400 DR1 Thereafter i play it using VLC vlc test.mpg This reveals a noisy video stream. Sound is skipping and the image is very distorted. I have some ideas on where the error lies, but not the knowledge to proceed so I have cooked up some questions: 1) What is the right kernel to use with the latest v4l-dvb checkout, and where can I figure out which to use. 2) What is the proper firmware for DVB cards. I killed a Nova-T-USB stick trying a bad firmware, and I suspect bad firmwares to be partly responsible for some of my problems. How do I make sure I have the right firmware? 3) Is the ForwardErrorCorrection algorithm not supported by the v4l-dvb drivers. I get crisp images on Windows, but noisy on Linux? 4) What is the proper procedure for rebuilding and installing the v4l-dvb modules. Make menuconfig in the v4l-dvb directory gives me some options. What should I enable. And perhaps more important what should be disabled in the kernel menuconfig. Should I do something after the modules are built? What is the proper way to give modules options? How do I clean out old modules? I sure could use some guidance here. I hope my explanation pops up some obvious reason for my poor results and perhaps some answers. Thank you in advance, and sorry for the lengthy mail. Jesper Taxbøl ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

In my experience, it is generally easier to test a new driver if you use simpler applications such as tvtime, azap/dvbscan. These programs will tell you pretty quickly whether the device and its driver are working properly or not. Once you are sure the drivers are working properly, then move on to your favorite media center or any other program. Trying to test device driver with MythTV sometimes muddles the water too much and you won't know whether it is a problem with the driver or the application. I don't think a cat /dev/video1 can get much simpler. But in this case I am getting results that would appear to be reversed. The simpler testing method is giving poor results, while the more complex application is giving better results, although not 100%. Is the device properly initialized by the driver when you did cat /dev/video1? Is it tuned to the right channel/frequency/source input? cat /dev/video1 itself lacks the ability to control the device and therefore you won't be able to test the driver's ability to change channels, for example, without relying on another application. The driver needs more work, especially for dealing with channel changes (and maybe other ioctls). cat /dev/video1 works fine for me. - Steve ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

Yes, this is a known problem, and unfortunately I don't have a solution (besides, I don't have a working af9005 anymore).

I first checked which version I had (6f00 or 6f01) using lsusb. Turns out I had the 6f01 which my kernel didn't support. So as a quick fix I recompiled the kernel changing the all occurrences of 6f00 in drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-ids.h to 6f01. Then I just copied the firmware to /lib/firmware and it worked.

Re: [linux-dvb] Pinnacle PCTV 60e
Hi, Is anyone alse able to help with this? Someone on the Ubuntu forums is also offering to help if we can locate the sections in the source to change: The files having the source code are in the pctv200e folder, and they are: pctv200e.h pctv200e.c Check the ones in the zip file in a previous post on this thread. The ones in the v4l tar file are the original ones, so they need to be overwritten with the ones in the zip file. The location of those files in the v4l tar file is mentioned above. What I don't see it clear (because I did not work in the driver since the beginning, and I am no expert) is what to change exactly. I can tell it must be related to the codes that appear when you execute a lsusb in a Terminal. But I cannot see those ones for the PCTV200e coded in the driver. Those codes should say which driver to lad when you plug the device. I can give you more hints once we clear up how to change those. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4181391#post4181391 To recap, I would like to get the PCTV60e working with the 200e driver if possible.
