diseqc switch and dm1105

[Simon Kenyon]

this may be a busted switch

i have a dm1105 connected to 4 lnbs via a 4 way switch

i've checked each lnb individually and i can tune to boradcasts on each 
one when i am not using the switch


however i can only tune to lnbs on the first two positions but not the 
third and fourth


has anyone else had this problem?

epg data grabber

[Simon Kenyon]

i've been hacking together a epg data grabber
taking pieces from here, there and everywhere

the basic idea is to grab data off-air and generate xmltv format xml files

the plan is to support DVB, Freesat, Sky (UK and IT) and MediaHighway1 and 2
i have the first two working and am working on the rest

is this of interest to the linuxtv.org community
i asked the xmltv people, but they are strictly perl. i do understand.

very little of this is original work of mine. just some applied google 
and a smidgen of C


i could put it up on sf.net if there is no room on linutv.org

if anyone wants the work in progress, then please let me know
it is big released under GPL 3

i want to get it out there because i'm pretty soon going to be at the 
end of my knowledge and would appreciate help


regards

Hi Simon,
I have hacked something for what is supposedly mediaHighway epg (it is 
used on CanalSat Caraibes which is affiliated to Canal Satellite from 
France). I actually have a patch against mythtv (it uses the scanner to 
get the epg directly).
I can provide my patches if needed (will need some time to sort things 
out abit, especially if you want a stand alone version).

Bye
Manu
  

i am doing it "stand alone" so i can see what is going on
i would propose to do  mythtv version but that is some way off

don't modify your stuff. i already extracted the freesat code from the 
mythtv code base

that was a couple of hours work

It seems, one can find GPIO values for LNB power control.
Do not forget about Vendor/Device ID's. 

I wrote code to support card with subsystem/device 195d/1105, but no one reported success, so I 
decided not to include it in commit :(


It was more then one year ago

http://liplianin.at.tut.by/dvblipl.tar.bz2

  

igor,

i downloaded it and built it (after making a few small changes to make 
it compile with tip)

it finds the hardware, but does not seem able to get a data stream
kaffeine seems to show that there is signal - and it does seem to vary 
in a way that is consistent with a working card


what do i need to do to help get this to work. i would like to as (under 
windows) it seems to work well and it is very, very cheap (13 euro on ebay)


it is on a machine which i can dual boot into windows (if that is any use)

by the way, this card is really rather good. in particular it gets a

it is also a nice price. i have ordered two more and have asked the

{wanted] support for PDTV001 dual tuner PCI DVB-T card [EC188/EC100 and 2x MxL5003S]

[Simon Kenyon]

just bought one of these on the off-chance that it might work
i did not know what chips were on the car when i bought it
but at €17 for a dual tuner dvb-t pci card i reckoned it was worth a try
i have looked at the card and it has:

the e3c EC188/EC100 pair of pci chips
a pair of MaxLinear MxL5003S silicon tuners

it seems that there is support for the tuners but i only found support 
for the EC168 USB chip set.


is there any prospect of support for this card? i don't think i could 
write it myself but i certainly could test it.

Main change is to move demuxing from interrupt to work handler.
So I prepaired another patch, with separate work queue.
May be you find some time to test.

I wonder CPU usage and interrupts count(cat /proc/interrupts) while viewing DVB. 
I guess your card generates a lot of unnecessary(unknown ?) irq's.


Another idea is to increase dma buffer.


i've tested that now
sorry for the delay - at a family wedding

anyway, that seems to work fine. will st some more, but the first 
results (with kaffeine) seem good.


i did a complete scan and then tried about 20 different channels. they 
all seemed to work fine.

problems with mythtv and pvr-350

[Simon Kenyon]

changing channel stopped working ages ago (5-6 months).
i assumed that it was a bug in myth. now i am wondering.

as far as i can see, mytht pauses the device when changing channel.
but somewhere along the way it chokes when unpausing (poll errors).

i notice that hans made some changes in this area back in september.
has anyone updated the myth code to support the new ioctls?


running myth master and media_build for the drivers.

any help gratefully received.

that he can support it then just drop me an email with a postal address 
and i'll send it

If you download the correct version of the antti af9015 tree, you can
apply the patch correctly and it will work(a tda18218/af9015 stick)
without any code change.
   

thanks for your help

that thread talks about using an old version of the tree
i will try it just to make sure that i am doing the correct thing with 
my edits

but it is not a long term solution

the patch replaces the entry to another stick rather than fix up the 
code to add an extra one

i don't think that it will make it into the tree in its current state
that and all the magic constants

failure of Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS on amd64

[Simon Kenyon]

does anyone know what is going on here?

i know the device works because i can use it on my eee 900 running gentoo

however i get a failure to load the driver (hg pull as of yesterday) on

Just one comment. IIRC, I was the one who mentioned the eeePC, having

anything else you write here, but because, in fact, I agree. Frankly, 
I think the use of the 2.6.21 kernel in the eeePC is somewhat perverse 
and just a little bit weird.


Essentially, the eeePC and the other Intel-based netbooks are not some 
kind of exotic hardware platforms, which might provide an explanation 
or excuse for using some "specially crafted" but old kernel. No. In 
fact, the eeePC and almost all the other current netbooks are just a 
new (and attractive) combination of some fairly standard types of 
hardware. Practically every hardware component in them is better 
supported in more recent kernels, with the possible exception of a 
wireless device which may not yet be supported in any kernel, new or 
old. Therefore, instead of worrying about whether to support and 
provide indulgence for apparently inexplicable behavior, let us hope 
that a decision of this nature will serve as a needed message.

just as another data point
i have an eee 900 and i run gentoo on it
i have 2.6.27 running just fine (wireless and all)

i know gentoo is a little too hardcore for most people
but living with a distro kernel forever is not a real requirement

both are running 2.6.28-gentoo-r5, however i'm pretty sure the

the working machine has an MSI KA780G MS-7551 [SB700 chipset] 
motherboard and
the non-working machine has an ASUSTeK M3N78-EM [GeForce 8200 chipset] 
motherboard


in fact, i've seen reference on this list to the fact that there are 
problems with the SB700. that seems to be the opposite to me.
i will check it out on an Atom based netbook and an old Intel Centrino

i suspect it will - but need to confirm it.

i'm afriad it is two steps forward and one step backwards

(http://www.kernellabs.com/hg/~dheitmueller/em28xx-terratec-zl10353)




There will be an alternative driver entirely in userspace available
which works across all major kernelversions and distributions. It will
support the old em28xx devices and handle audio routing for the most
popular TV applications directly.

This system makes compiling the drivers unnecessary across all
available linux systems between 2.6.15 and ongoing. This package also
allows commercial drivers from vendors, the API itself is almost the
same as the video4linux/linuxdvb API. Installing a driver takes less
than five seconds without having to take care about the kernel API or
having to set up a development system. Aside of that it's operating
system independent (working on Linux, MacOSX and FreeBSD).
I think this is the way to go for the future since it adds more
possibilities to the drivers, and it eases up and speeds up driver
development dramatically.

Markus

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone can help me please - I am trying to get a 
DVB-S PCI card working with Linux (Ubuntu 9.04). So far I can get the 
card recognised by Linux, but it won't tune - Kaffeine does tell me 
that there is 95% signal and 80% SNR, and I am using the same 
frequencies etc that a standard Sky box uses.


The card is very common on eBay so I am sure there are plenty people 
who have tried this / would want this working.


Some details that I hope will help someone who knows more than I do

good signal and SNR in Kaffeine, and dvbtune says it has signal and 
carrier - but cannot lock?


Please can someone help me debug this?

Thanks a lot!
Shaun

i have a few and they work fine
in my small little way i helped to get them to work
in fact i tried to import a bulk shipment from china - but they offered 
the same price for 200 as i can get on ebay - so i didn't bother


are you sure the signal is good? have you tried with another card to check?

then you took you code away and went off and did your own thing

Ah well Mauro,

  

This mailing list, the freenode irc channels #v4l and #linuxtv, the V4L and the
LinuxTV mailing lists were created for discussing open source development
related to the kernel linux media drivers, the usability of those drivers and
related open source themes.

Anything related to binary only userspace stuff is completely out of topic and
shouldn't be posted on the above places.

Despiste what you're saying, your intention to drop support to open source is
clear: you are playing against open source since 2007, when you firstly 
proposed a
frontend hook at the kernel driver for userspace. This year, you dropped all
open source trees you used to have. So, it is clear that you're out of open
source business, and you won't be giving any open source support. So, please
stop posting at the open source forums




there's no reason to argue with you since you have your own ideas. We

compared with other drivers it has some big advantages, eg. automatic
audio routing (supports OSS/Alsa/reading audio external) - as tvtime
doesn't support audio at all our solution automatically enables audio
with it, installation works within a few seconds (everywhere, any
distribution, eg eeepc, acer aspire one, ubuntu, redhat, suse..),
kernel independent, more or less unix operating system independent as
well.
There's nothing comparable available, and it has full support from the
chipdesign companies, just about anyone who doesn't know much about
linux can easily handle it without the knowledge how to set up a
development system. CI Support is on the roadmap as well for DVB-C.
While all of that it is still compatible to existing kernel drivers.
Updates will also affect all systems at once and won't need a
particular kernel versions.
So it is more like a question if someone wants a prebuilt, working car
which has guaranteed support, or wants to build his own car both is
doable of course.

Hello Mauro,

This patch series adds support for the NXP SAA7164 PCIe A/V bridge used by the
Hauppauge HVR-2200 and HVR-2250 series of products. Support is limited to DVB-T
/ ATSC / QAM digital TV only. The driver has been in development (on and off)
for around a year and the KernelLabs saa7164-stable tree (from which this patch
set was prepared) has been in testing worldwide since approx May(?) 2009.

The project page including links for firmware downloads, MythTV and Wiki
instructions is here: http://www.kernellabs.com/blog/?page_id=17
  


do you think you could explain the relationship between this and manu's
driver?

[Simon Kenyon]

i realise that this is a bit [OT]
but does anyone know of a (linux supported) analog PAL sat card?

Hi Simon,

Not at all off topic.  I can think of two ancient TechniSat PCI cards
that you might be able to get hold of off the likes of ebay.  Working
drivers for which, however, is a different matter -- although that
situation could likely be remedied without too much difficulty by anyone
determined.  Follow the rabbit:

* http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TechniSat_TechniPC/Mediafocus_I
** http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TechniSat_Mediafocus_II

I also vaguely recall a few other analogue sat cards, but I don't think
they ever had any Linux related support.  You could try scanning through
the bttv-gallery
(http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Development:_How_to_add_support_for_a_device#bttv-gallery) 
to see if Gunther had captured any such info.

this is a mailing list for the open source dvb drivers
you are talking about a closed source solution
what does your solution have to do with linuxtv.org?

Well, it looks awfully alot like the TerraTec H5, would there be a

just fyi. this Terratec device is not supported. We've been working on
a device with equivalent features

DVB-S2 scanning

[Simon Kenyon]

what is the recommended way to scan?

scan/dvbscan/scan-s2/w_scan/dvbv5-scan

i am more than a little confused.

this whole area seems to be abandonware.

i can scan with pretty much any of these and get DVB-S signals
but what should i use to get DVB-S2

tuner is a Tevii S660
it will receive DVB-S2 as i can use Kaffeine to scan

i also want to scan a KA sat
but i'll leave that for another day
