[linux-dvb] HD capture

2008-02-21 Thread James Klaas
There was a discussion over on the mythtv-users forum on HD capture
that devolved into another discussion, but there was an article on
converting your HD-DVDs to Blue-Ray
(http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Convert_Your_HD_DVDs_to_Blu-Ray).  They
pointed to a HDMI/component/composite capture card at
http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/.

While I wouldn't expect this to be supported anytime soon, has anyone
even looked at this?

Re: [linux-dvb] HD capture

2008-02-21 Thread James Klaas
First, let me say that This is not in my near term purchase plans, but
I was mostly curious to know the possiblities of support of this (or
something like it) long term. This is the thread that got me
interested in asking
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/317435.

Partly what piqued my interest is there has been a great deal of talk
about how capturing HD streams without compression is very difficult
without very high end components, very expensive capture cards etc,
etc.  It was surprising to me that you could in fact find something
like this for less than $1000.  With a card like this, it would be
conceivable to create a HD capture system for well under a $1000.

  Whether it be done through an analog connection (eg. component) or
  digital connection (eg. HDMI/DVI/SDI), it all falls under the realm of
  the V4L subsystem, not DVB.

Is that because it purports to capture the streams without
compression?  Or does that have more to do with a lack of a tuner?

  V4L API's current facilities may not even extend far enough for such
  applications anyway  I'm not certain, nor really qualified to
  comment (so someone with a more authoritative opinion should be listened
  to/consulted), but I expect that this would be rather pioneering with
  the current API and, hence, would require some additions/extensions to
  be made before such tasks could be realized.

 - By chance, in that discussion on the mythtv-users forum to which you
  refer, did any of the contributers/posters search that m/l's own
  archives in respect to the Intensity? If not, then in this thread (
  http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/223410#223410 ) you
  will see that Blackmagic reportedly expressed some openness towards the
  idea of Linux support. I haven't heard of anything further on the matter
  than that ... that doesn't mean that there hasn't been anything else
  said, and perhaps there is indeed some follow up ... I don't know ...
  but either way, that will require some searching, and that I leave as an
  exercise for someone else.

That particular thread did not mention the Intensity.  But it did
mention the HD-PVR at one point at least.

  - in regards to whether anyone around here has looked at this, I don't
  think any of the regulars ever have ... let alone ever considered it ...
  most people wouldn't even be aware of it (and the other existing
  alternatives ) ... in addition, it would be new territory, and likely a
  difficult development process ... so if there is anyone working on that
  device, or looking at it, its likely they are not directly associated or
  involved around here.

  - in addition to BM's Intensity and Intensity Pro, there are a few other
  cheaper solutions that are available. This thread on Doom9 (and
  despite its title) makes mention of them and provides examples of some
  of them in use: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1044824#post1044824

  - as far as I know, the more expensive professional and prosumer
  solutions (i.e the AJA xena's, BM Decklinks, Accustreams, Bluefish444
  cards etc etc) do have Linux support ... albeit, it is through
  proprietary SDKs or developed inhouse by the production studios using
  such products . There was a brief discussion about these on the V4L
  mailing list a few years ago; see/read through this thread:
  http://marc.info/?l=linux-videom=115374256412690w=2

  - lastly, did that MythTV-users thread mention the forthcoming Hauppauge
  HD-PVR (component input) ? ... given that the LinuxTV developer rank
  does include a couple of guys from Hauppauge, and given that both of
  them have made mention of that device, and given Hauppauge's stance on
  Linux support is very positive, I'd be willing to bet that the chances
  of open/publicly available support for this device materializing are
  far, far greater than any of the other devices mentioned
  above.though, bear in mind there are, of course, never any
  guarantees or certainties, nor am I speaking on the behave of anyone.


Thank you all for the information.  I had no idea it would spark such
a lively discussion.

OK, I have an update on this.  I think the driver got confused since
I'm running 2.6.22.9 with the latest v4l-dvb drivers.  I commented out
the ifdef checking for that part of the struct:

 #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE = KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,23)
.hardware = VID_HARDWARE_GSPCA,
#endif

It compiled, but still with the complaints about the calls
spca50x_create_sysfs was making and incompatible pointer types.

Additionally it wouldn't load as it was complaining about unknown symbols:

[linux-dvb] Compiling the latest hg

2008-01-17 Thread James Klaas
After getting all excited about the new driver for the Pinnacle PCTV
HD 800i and the Silicon Labs FM radio tuner, I decided to grab the
latest pull from hg to rebuild a module for my DViCO FusionHDTV 3
Gold-T.  However, when I went to make the tree, it didn't seem to
build all of the modules, espcecially the one I was interested in, the
cx88 stuff.

I also got a lot of WARNING: ... undefined! messages.  I'm runnning
the Ubuntu 2.6.22 kernel source.  Do I need to have a more current
kernel?

[linux-dvb] QAM tuning questions

2008-01-17 Thread James Klaas
I've been getting my DViCO FusionHDTV 3 Gold-T running again after
testing another card and moving my computer.  I got the Windows
FusionHDTV software running and got a scan of the QAM channels from my
cable (Ann Arbor Comcast).  I was surprised by the quantity of them.
Then, I did the same sort of search in Linux.  The number of channels
with something on them was significantly fewer (like 15 in Windows and
something less than 10 in Linux).

I tried doing a search on this, but I didn't find of a set of search
terms to get results that were indistinguisable from a search on
random words.

Is there some way I can grab the frequencies that do something from
the DViCO software and use those?  The DViCO software lists channel
numbers instead of frequencies.  From everything I've read, there's no
correlation between the two.

 Success.

 After a few more tweaks we've got the driver working and the patches are
 ready for merge into master by Mauro.

 You can find the latest patches here: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~stoth/v4l-dvb

 In a day or two they'll be merged into master and removed from my dev
 area, so check here:
 http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb

 IR support is mostly working, although some testers believe a new
 mapping table will be required. Keep your eyes on the v4l mailing list
 for more info.

 Thanks to everyone who stepped forward and offered to test the tree.
 Special thanks to James Middendorff for providing remote ssh access and

I can't quite get it compiled.  I'm using the Ubuntu 2.6.22 kernel

had to specify the directory explicitly:

After some quick research neither the mcentral.de and the linuxtv
drivers gets along very well with the gspca web cam drivers.  It seems
to me that at one time they got along.

The Ubuntu kernel source package 2.6.20-16.32, seems to be able to
have them all get along.

Re: [linux-dvb] XC5000/XC3028 tuner dvb support? (an apology)

2007-10-24 Thread James Klaas
I apologize, Markus, for making that rather rude comment.  But, from a
user's perspective the split between you and the rest of the v4l/dvb
community is extrordinarily frustrating and my comment reflects that.
I think both sides are responsible for the split to varying degrees.

Your work has been invaluable to many people including myself, but I
think pulling your code down so abruptly has caused a pretty big loss
in goodwill and respect, even from some of your supporters.

I have also become a little uneasy with some aspects of this split.
It appears to my untrained eye, Markus, that you still depend quite a
bit on the dvb/v4l community to provide a working structure for your
code and for users to provide information on various hardware.  This
is not to belittle your amazing work, but it seems odd that (it
appears) you depend so much on the community you've so roundly
criticised.

In all, it wouldn't be so frustrating for the users who depend on both
projects if they got along in the kernel at the same time.  Obviously,
I'm not sure this is practicable, or even possible, but that would
alleviate some of the tension.

 if anything important is missing there let me know. several
 repositories have been made available before I went for a trip to
 sweden.

  One thing you could do is identify the audio ADC being used. Its
  situated on the face of the PCB, below the tuner module and to the right
  of the S-Video input, right beside a quatz oscillator.
 
The ADC chip on my board is:

Cirrus 5340 CZZ - 101 dB, 192kHz, MULTI-BIT AUDIO A/D CONVERTER

Was this what you were looking for?



 Oops, forgot ... two other things you could help with:

 - PCI subsystem info: you can find it in the Conexant CX23880 section of
 the output of /sbin/lspci -vvnn

I've attached the output of lspci -vvnn for this card.  There are 3 entries.

 - if you have a digicam, could you snap a shot of the card and upload it
 to the wiki ... I'll create a page for the card either later tonight or
 tomorrow and then add the pic ... or feel free to create it
 yourselfthere appears to be a number of people who are interested in
 linux support for the card (as seen by glancing through the woot thread,
 and those on AVS)

 Cheers


I'm a little confused as to where I would find/create a page.  Would
this go in the ATSC section?

[linux-dvb] New Card - Pinnacle PCTV HD

2007-10-19 Thread James Klaas
Woot had a Pinnacle PCTV HD Card for sale and I decided to get one as
the price was good ($50).  I was hoping to find out what it would take
to get this card running under Linux.  I'm not entirely clear how
hybrid tuners work, and the tuner is the xc3028 and I'm not sure how
the driver for that is on the linux-dvb side (since Marcus has taken
his toys and gone home so to speak).

It seems like it wouldn't be difficult to get the analog video portion
working since the card uses the cx23883 (cx88) decoder chip and the
xc3028 tuner (which is listed).  I got a saa7134 based card running
using some tools in Windows.

I can provide more details and the Windows .inf file if that will help.

James
