[linux-dvb] trouble creating dvbscan

2008-03-06 Thread Muppet Man
Greetings,
I am having some trouble creating a dvbscan for pinnicale i800 card.

The card works because I can watch over the air broadcast with TVtime (though 
the audio is out of sync).

When I try to use w_scan, this is the output I get

w_scan version 20080105
Info: using DVB adapter auto detection.
Info: unable to open frontend /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0'
Info: unable to open frontend /dev/dvb/adapter2/frontend0'
Info: unable to open frontend /dev/dvb/adapter3/frontend0'
main:2401: FATAL: * NO USEABLE DVB CARD FOUND. *
Please check wether dvb driver is loaded and
verify that no dvb application (i.e. vdr) is running.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed

"run it from a shell" means you need to open a terminal and cd into
the directory that contains the script and type in the file name of
the script to run it (of course, make sure it is set to be executable
first). You may need to put "./" before the file name, for example,
you may need to type in "./extract.sh" to run the extracting script.

For people to be able to help you most effectively, next time when
something goes wrong or errors happen, be sure to include *details* of
the errors, such as exactly what happened and what was the error
message etc. If you don't provide such details, we would have to ask
you to try to reproduce the error and report back, which obviously
delays the process.

Also, when it is related to kernel drivers, it is almost always a good
idea to run "dmesg" and look at what relevant error or warning
messages might be in there. If so, post that when you ask for help on
the list.

So, I am really not sure what might have gone wrong at this point.
Please post more details of the errors that you are seeing (for each
tests you performed). Also, post the full dmesg output. I suggest you
paste the dmesg output to pastebin.com and just send the link
generated by pastebin.com to the list, because the dmesg output tend
to be very long and I really want to see the FULL dmesg output (after
the errors have occurred. Don't do dmesg before the errors, since that
won't tell us anything about the error.)

"run it from a shell" means you need to open a terminal and cd into
the directory that contains the script and type in the file name of
the script to run it (of course, make sure it is set to be executable
first). You may need to put "./" before the file name, for example,
you may need to type in "./extract.sh" to run the extracting script.

For people to be able to help you most effectively, next time when
something goes wrong or errors happen, be sure to include *details* of
the errors, such as exactly what happened and what was the error
message etc. If you don't provide such details, we would have to ask
you to try to reproduce the error and report back, which obviously
delays the process.

Also, when it is related to kernel drivers, it is almost always a good
idea to run "dmesg" and look at what relevant error or warning
messages might be in there. If so, post that when you ask for help on
the list.

So, I am really not sure what might have gone wrong at this point.
Please post more details of the errors that you are seeing (for each
tests you performed). Also, post the full dmesg output. I suggest you
paste the dmesg output to pastebin.com and just send the link
generated by pastebin.com to the list, because the dmesg output tend
to be very long and I really want to see the FULL dmesg output (after
the errors have occurred. Don't do dmesg before the errors, since that
won't tell us anything about the error.)

Chaogui,
I don't know what my 2 year old son did, but last night I actually got 1 
channel to show up via TVtime, but I did not have any sound associated with it. 
 Of course, I am currently away from my system and cannot dive in more, but I 
will do the tests, and post the dmesg per your request when I get home tonight.

Glad to hear that. I guess it should have been mentioned earlier that
the firmware is needed. In any event, I have updated the wiki page at
linuxtv.org with the relevant firmware downloading instruction so we
can point anyone else to a page that explains all the necessary pieces
to get the 800i working.

I assume you mean analog tv or analog input. The audio is via the
cx88-alsa module, which is working fine for me last time I tested. You
need to grab the sound from the appropriate /dev/dsp? device. Do a
"cat /proc/asound/cards" and it will tell you what number(the "?") to
use for your cx88-alsa device. Note that you might run into issues if
your cx88-alsa grabs the index 0 for your sound cards. In that case,
use module options to force the cx88-alsa to index 1 or 2 as needed.
Index 0 should be reserved for your main sound card so your normal
software can use /dev/dsp (which they always default to).

Ok, I know I am really close now, but I am still having trouble.

Here's what I did, and what I am getting.  I extracted the xc5000 file, moved 
it over to /lib/firmware, then I downloaded the lastest v4l-dvb, sudo make, 
sudo make install, and rebooted.  My system came right back online.  I have 
sound and a network connection.  I went to mythtv back end, and my card was 
already selected, but when I go to scan channels, I get an error.  I started 
tvtime, went to scan for channels, nothing.  I started kaffeine, and again, my 
card was there, but I cannot scan for channels.  I know I am so close, but I 
don't know what to do from here.
On the plus side though, I am truly thankful for all the assistance from 
Chaogui and Steve.
Thanks again.

For future reference, next time you try to run a shell script, run it
from a shell.

All in all, I think I have everything work.

Hmm...I thought that's what I did?  I guess I don't know how to "run it from a 
shell".  All the shell scripts I have ran was via giving permissions to allow 
exicuting as a file.

Did you _really_ read the output from the extract script, which says 
something like...

"Now copy this file into your firmware folder.
EG. sudo cp firmware.fw /lib/firmware/`uname -r/'"

Are you _SURE_ you read the output from the extract script?

Steve,
There was no "output" from the script.  I ran the script, a white screen popped 
up for less than a second, and then it went back to my desktop.  I think that 
is where my confusion is coming in at.

Before we try anything else, I would like to rule out the obvious:

Do you have the firmware for the xc5000 tuner in place? If not, then
please download it from http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/ and
extract the firmware using the script in the same location (see the
readme file for instruction). I hope that will resolve the issue.

If you have indeed put the firmware in place for your previous tests,
would you please post the *full* output of dmesg? You can post that at
pastebin.com and just send the link in the email.

-- 
Chaogui Zhang


Ok, I did not know about the xc5000 tuner, so, no, it was not in place.  I went 
over the to the link and downloaded the extract script, and I looked at the 
read me txt, but I have no idea what I am suppose to do from here.  When I run 
the extract script, I get dvb-fe-xc5000-1.1.fw Am I suppose to do anything with 
this?  Do I need to put this in the v4l-dvb folder?
Again, sorry for asking what seems like the obvious, but I am still new to the

Indeed. I even made sure the old modules were completely wiped before I

The only way I could get this dmesg output, was to boot off the
 recovery 
kernel. Even under the recovery kernel, attempting to start or load X
 in 
any way (kdm, gdm, or startx) results in a complete and utter 
crash/freeze. You cannot get out of it without a system reset. You
 can't 
  even get into an alternate tty to kill the process. It just locks.

I guess my question at this point is twofold:

1) is this, as Steve suggested earlier, a problem with core videobuf?
 Or 
is it the nVidia driver? The hang point seems to be when nVidia gets 
invoked and X Starts. kdm/gdm do not even seem to get a chance to load.

2) What, if anything can I do to get it to work, or help you guys
 figure 
out where the problem is? I am open to being a guinea pig in any way I 
can to help get this solved. =)

The compile runs fine. The modules install fine. Something else is
 amiss.

No, that is NOT the file you want. You need the file from
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb including ALL the patches. Click on the
"bz2" or "gz" link at the top of that page (depending on if you want a
bzip2'ed or gzip'ed file).

Once you download that file (and make sure you have deleted your
previous v4l-dvb folder), extract the sources and it will create a
folder "v4l-dvb". You then do make and make install from that
directory.

It looks like the tuner callback function caused a kernel OOPS for
some reason. If you are sure you are using the latest v4l-dvb tree,
then we have a bigger problem, but then again, I am NOT sure whether
you have the latest tree compiled and installed correctly. A few other
users and myself ran into the same kind of issues BEFORE the latest
patch related tuner callback function was applied, but they have been
fixed by that patch as far as I know.

My suggestion:

1. Delete EVERYTHING related to v4l-dvb that you have in your system
now: first, go into your v4l-dvb directory and do "make rminstall",
then "cd .." and "rm -rf v4l-dvb"

Given the changes the 800i driver have been through, you will be much
better off if you use the latest code available at

http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb

As of this morning, all patches related to the 800i so far have been
merged into the master tree above, so it should work without problems.
The only time that one may consider not using the master tree is when
you know for sure that there are patches related to your device that
have not been merged.

If you still cannot get it working, post here.

Good luck!

Ok, I feel really dumb but I have

am doing everything right, but then again, I don't know.
I downloaded the 
file posted about a week ago stating it was a patch for the pinnacle pci card 
(800i).  I extracted the tz file, opened terminal, cd directory to the 
folder, did sudo make, sudo make install and restarted my computer.  When I 
start mythtv back end, I get no card can be found error.
I'm sure I am really 
close to getting this to work.  Any help for a linux nOOb would be greatly 
appreciated.
Thanks
 

Can you tell us a little more about what you are 
seeing.  

 

What file did you download from where?

 

What does the output from dmesg say about 
cx88?

Hi,

http://linuxtv.org/hg/~stoth/xc5000-analog

This tree contains full support for the product, firmware is available 
from here: http://steventoth.net/linux/xc5000

I need someone to test digital either QAM or ATSC. I've tested digital 
remotely via ssh and dvbtraffic looks good, another user has tested it 
and gets junk.

Any other people willing to test?

I could well believe we have issues, but I can't fix what I can't
 break.

Thanks,

Greetings,
I have this card, and would be willing to test.  I am pretty new to the linux 
thing, so I would need some assistance with this.  I would be able to check 
over the air digital feeds.

[linux-dvb] Questions about setting up a Pinnacle PCTV HD Card (800i)

2007-12-29 Thread Muppet Man
Greetings all,
I recently switched from Windows to linux and I am currently running kubuntu 
7.10.  I received a Pinnacle PCTV HD Card (800i) pci card from my family, and I 
am having some trouble getting linux to recognizing this card.  I was hoping to 
use myth tv to record some shows, but because I am rather new to the linux 
operating system, I thought I would subscribe to the mailing list on myth tv in 
order to get some help with this card.

Here's what I did so far, and my results.

I downloaded, extracted, sudo make, sudo make install, and sudo make menuconfig 
this file

http://www.linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/archive/tip.tar.bz2

per the advice of people on the myth tv mailing list.  I believe myth tv sees 
the card, but when I scan for channels, nothing comes up (I am doing over the 
air broadcasting).  I guess my questions are several fold.
1)  How do I know linux found my card and that it's operating correctly besides 
being able to see TV on my screen?
2)  I'm to the point now that I really don't care if I record TV shows (mostly 
it was football) but I want to be able to watch TV on my system, would Kaffeine 
be better for this?  I read somewhere that kaffeine was a lot easier to set up 
than myth tv.
3)  If I get one program to work with the pci card (kaffeine, myth tv, ect) 
would I be able to use the other programs to watch shows?

Forgive all my questions, I am rather new to linux, but I feel a fast learner.

Thanks.
