Users (what little of them Linux still has) usually want stuff that WORKS, and they don't give two shits about HOW it works underneath.

Re: [linux-dvb] DSM-CC Synchronized Download Protocol
DSM-CC is used a lot in ISDB-T / ISDB-S for data broadcasting and firmware download. Have a poke around http://www.dibeg.org/aribstd/ARIBSTD.htm One of B-xx standards should cover DSM-CC related stuff. I know it does because I wrote a parser for DDI and DDB messages a few months ago. By the way, the stuff follows standard section table format. -t On 3/14/07, Thomas Lagemann [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Johannes Stezenbach schrieb: On Tue, Mar 13, 2007, Thomas Lagemann wrote: I'm looking for information in the DSM-CC Synchronized Download Protocol.

Also most of the iso standard papers do not include much info about the practical use. So maybe anyone who worked with this can explain me some details: - does this method require flow-control (kommunication with the server)? - what are the requirements for a receiver to manage dsm-cc download sections ? - is there support of this method in DVB?

The notebook (ASUS A7CC-7S018C) was released about a month ago, and I guess the hardware is about the same age. Therefore, I'm not really that surprised at not finding any information about the card on the Internet (well, it would be kinda nice if AverMedia mentioned it on one of its websites, but they don't seem to consider that necessary). Windows Vista calls the card AVerMedia M10D MiniPCI Hybrid DVBT. lspci says this: 01:02.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7133/SAA7135 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev d1) Subsystem: Avermedia Technologies Inc Unknown device 4836 01:02.0 0480: 1131:7133 (rev d1) Subsystem: 1461:4836 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium TAbort- TAbort- MAbort- SERR- PERR- Latency: 64 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 7 Region 0: Memory at f9dff800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1+ D2+ AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- And that's about all the information I got. I don't want to open the laptop unless it's really necessary, so I've never actually seen the card. I read that SAA7133 was supported quite well, so I tried to load the right modules, but I *think* it didn't work (actually I have no idea). People said I could use tvtime to check, but that doesn't work with my video card. Anyway, I wanna use mplayer. But I don't know exactly how to play TV with mplayer, so the reason I saw nothing but a black screen may alsa have been me making a mistake when invoking mplayer. Here's what I tried: mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:norm=PAL:input=0:amode=1:width=384:height=288:outfmt=yuy2:devic e=/dev/video0:chanlist=europe-west:channel=E2 (got it from Gentoo Wiki, didn't have time to read the mplayer manual, yet) So, if anyone could tell me how best to find out whether card and tuner are working (so I can try out all AverMedia cards or so), that would be nice. Here's what dmesg had to say: saa7130/34: v4l2 driver version 0.2.14 loaded ACPI: PCI Interrupt :01:02.0[A] - GSI 19 (level, low) - IRQ 19 saa7133[0]: found at :01:02.0, rev: 209, irq: 19, latency: 64, mmio: 0xf9dff800 saa7133[0]: subsystem: 1461:4836, board: UNKNOWN/GENERIC [card=0,autodetected] saa7133[0]: board init: gpio is 0 saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 00: 61 14 36 48 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 10: ff ff ff ff ff 20 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 20: 01 40 01 32 32 01 01 43 88 ff 00 80 ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 30: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 40: ff 6b 00 ff c2 1e ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 50: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 60: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c eeprom 70: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff saa7133[0]: i2c scan: found device @ 0xa0 [eeprom] saa7133[0]: registered device video0 [v4l2] saa7133[0]: registered device vbi0 So, my questions now are: Is the card known in any way? If not, how can I best test the different existing drivers? If I don't find anything there, are there some simple things I could change in the kernel sources, or will I have to build a completely new driver? (as you might notice, I'm not prepared to give up, no matter what it takes) Ah, also: will it be _really_ useful to open the laptop and take a look at the card?

Re: [linux-dvb] How does bad reception influence quality of macroblocks?
You will lose one or more TS packets (188bytes) if RS decoder (or some other step before that) cannot fully recover the packet. Those packets are usually marked with 'transport error indicator' flag, and mpeg decoder skips them, or perhaps blindly tries to decode data in them. Usually results in ugly crap across the screen in a particular section that was ruined, even if it was only a single TS packet that was affected. -t Thanks for Your reply. After reading some docs about mpeg-TS I still have difficulties to realize the effects of loosing TS packets to the macroblocks (16x16 pixels) of the mpeg-2 video. Is there at least one full macroblock in a TS packet? I never dealt with mpeg2 on the macroblock level in TS, but as you probably read, a single mpeg frame will span several TS packets. To put my question in other words: If my dvb-t device doesn't get the full stream will this always lead to missing macroblocks or can it yield less obvious loss of quality (like unsharpness)? Losing a single TS packet, in HD, and especially in SD broadcast will not lead to unsharpness, you will receive visible ruined image artifacts, which usually look like inverted/green/or otherwise random stream of blocks after the missed packet, as mpeg decoder resyncs to try to decode. Does the type of device influence the qualtity of the recieved stream? (Why do devices differ in prices so much?) The only difference would be a more sensitive tuner. If your C/N ratio is high, BER is low/or zero, and no continuity errors in the stream, you're getting everything at full quality. If the signal 'isn't perfect' you will get ugly dropouts/noise as described above. ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
