The addr parameter is the i2c address of the tuner. It is most likely 0x60 or 0x61. For an example of how to attach the tda18271 driver, look in cx23885-dvb.c for CX23885_BOARD_HAUPPAUGE_HVR1800 where alt_tuner is 1. The datasheet on the nxp site wont help me -- i need to see the register map. I think that the tda18271 driver will work with your tuner, but we may need to make some small adjustments. If you look in tda18271-fe.c , you'll find the code that autodetects between a TDA18271c1 and a TDA18271c2 ... If the autodetection fails for your tuner, you might want to try hardcoding it to the tda18271c1. If that works, then I'll ask you to enable the register dump debug option (debug = 4) in the tda18271 driver and send me a dmesg snippit. That should help us to add the autodetection later. hth, Mike ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

[linux-dvb] NXP 18211HDC1 tuner
Would someone be interested in writing tuner drivers for the NXP 18211HDC1 tuner? I recently bought the Winfast DTV Dongle Gold which uses an AF9015 chip and the NXP tuner. I've managed to get it working up to the point of needing the tuner, after that nothing works. I have no idea how to write tuner code, so if someone is interested, I can supply all the info I've got about the card and test whatever you write.

Can I ask your opinion on the best solution for: I would like to have 2 separate TS (audio + video + subtitles...) for 2 channels (same frequency). Is it possible to set a DMX_SET_PES_FILTER with many pids? Ideally I would like to multi-open the demux, set a PES filter for a few pids (currently I can do only for 1), read from demux and save the TS. So that I can have more the one applications running. What I can do now is: multi-open the demux, set filter -1 (i.e. get everything), read, and only save the pids I want. I was just wondering what is the best solution. I don't like to get many times the whole TS. It's a bit of a waste. > At least one existing solution -- GStreamer -- sends all its streams > simultaneously via dvr0 and demuxes again in userland, but it seems a > bit of a shame to pick out all the PIDs in kernel, stick them back > together in kernel, and send them to userland only to get unpicked > again, when the alternative is such a small API addition.

Here is the link to my dmesg output: > http://pastebin.com/m19aa6aa4 > A couple of strange things showed up in the dmesg output: 1. The i2c bus seems somehow corrupted, as suggested by the repeated i2c read error and the tveeprom read error 2. The xc5000 driver was never loaded, probably due to the i2c read problems. At the moment, I don't know what might have gone wrong. Can you try to use the following repo instead and see what happens? http://linuxtv.org/hg/~stoth/v4l-dvb/ This is not the most up to date code, but contains most that are needed for the 800i. I suspect some recent patch might have introduced minor bugs for the i2c bus.

[linux-dvb] How to start a DVB reception
Hi, What does exactly trigger the DVB architecture to start receiving data? It seems that I can only receive DVB as long as there is a running application that has opened the fronted in read/write mode and tuned. The following does not work (if it is the only application running) (Even if it reports a LOCK) 1) open the fronted in read only 2) check for LOCK 3) open the demux 4) set some filter, output to DEMUX 5) start the demux 6) read from demux The is no data to read. I've tried test_pes in dvb-apps/test and it behaves the same. Someone has to call FE_SET_FRONTEND and keep the fd open. Is it true? I would like to receive the whole TS of whatever is currently tuned. (possibly in read only).

Re: [linux-dvb] VP 1041: Is anybody able to tune to DVBS2 or DSS?
Just to clarify, the diseqc switches mentioned do not work reliably with any of the D-Sat cards in my PC (one Skystar HD2 DVB-S/DVB-S2, three Skystar 2 (DVB-S only)), the VP-1041 driver is not the issue - it was best to remove the switch as they can be troublesome, in my case they tend to block tuning to either horizontal or vertical transponders (apparently randomly over time). All three switches work fine with a Technomate TM1000 receiver, incidentally. If of any help, these are the commands I am using to tune successfully and reliably to DVB-S2 transponders on Astra 2D (28East). I am using the current mantis tree with a Skystar HD2 card, using the replacement szap.c from the VP1041 wiki.
