Re: [mythtv-users] Sweet! PC HD3000 QAM_256 working, now about importing those channels?
I just wanted to thank you all for this thread, as it helped me get my hd3000 working. i had tried working on it long ago and became frustrated and had only slight success, but now it's working great using these instructions. I have comcast and they don't help out by sending the psip information. i get the standard broadcast hd stations now! Best of all, i get many of the regular analog stations too, which look even better than on the analog capture card, the analog tv, or even the digital-cable hd-dvr box. Thanks again!AdamOn 9/16/05, Jason Beck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Awesome I'm glad you got it working. I threw thistogether off the top of my head while at work today...I just went through this last week and it was prettydifficult to gather all of the info to make it work. Along with a lot of trail and error.Another Tip.It may or may not apply. There is a nifty shortcut toquckly gather all of you QAM freq if you have an HDSTB. I have a Scientific-Atlanta 3250HD. The SA box is all I can speak to but I'm sure other STBs willhave something similar. If you can get into thestatus menu of you STB you can tune one of you HDchannels and it will display the QAM freq.Its kind of nice when trying to find which channel is on what freq. For example channel 708 is my localHDCBS channel via my STB. I tune the STB to 708, thenhold the + button on the STB until the mail ledflashes the hit the info button on the STB. Wala! the status menu. Check www.avsforum.com for details onhow to get the status menus on your specific model.This has saved me a bunch of time on finding channels. Now all I have to do is use the STB to find the freq. Then do the dvb scan to find the serviceid. Saves alot of trial and error.__Yahoo!

Re: [mythtv-users] OT: kernel disabling IRQ#7 (Sound Stops working)
I also had a similar problem, however my pvr250 was the one taking up irq7, so when it got switched off I lost my tv capture :( i'm not exactly sure how i fixed the problem, but I do see 'pci=useirqmask' and 'acpi=off' in my grub.conf. I think dmesg told me to do the pci=useirqmask thing because the irq7 was screaming all the time for no reason... at least i think thats why i put it there. whatever i did, i still see ivtv on irq7 and haven't had a problem for ages. -AG On 7/11/05, Niklas Brunlid <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, 11 Jul 2005, Noel Murphy wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > I realize this isn't mythtv specific, however it is happening on my box > > which > > is used specifically for mythtv. > > > > I have a weird issue where when I don't use the machine for awhile (say the > > whole weekend because I'm gone to the cottage) when I return, I have a > > Knotify message up on the screen telling me that the kernel has disabled IRQ > > #7 (Which I believe is the interrupt for the sound card).

Re: [mythtv-users] Re: mplayer audio sync issues
I checked it out, and I have the same results. When I explicitly tell
mplayer to use '-ao oss' there is no sync issue. When I have '-ao
alsa', the audio and video don't match (audio too late). I forgot to
check the CPU load, but its probably not very high (2.4 GHz P4). I
still want to go back to the older alsa and make sure its a problem
with the new alsa and not with both.

[mythtv-users] Re: mplayer audio sync issues
Thanks Axel for the quick response.
It is certainly puzzling, and I only just noticed it the other day, it
could have started happening when I updated on May 28, though I'm not
certain. The old alsa I had been using was 1.0.8, but its wierd in
that only xvid/avi is affected, and I'm using mplayer within and
outside of mythtv with identical results, though it looks like mplayer
hasn't been updated for quite a while. Nothing in the diff's stick
out like a sore thumb. When I get the chance, I'll think about
switching back to alsa 1.0.8 and report back
Thanks again,
Adam

Re: [mythtv-users] mplayer audio sync issues
Yes this is exactly the problem, and its been easily corrected for me with the -delay option. I also noticed it happened after an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' and I'm pretty sure alsa was updated then (as well as most mythtv packages). The alsa rpms I'm running must be: alsa-kmdl-2.6.10-1.770_14.rhfc3.at-1.0.9rf-39.rhfc3.at alsa-driver-1.0.9rf-39.rhfc3.at and alsa-utils-1.0.9rf-14.rhfc3.at alsa-lib-1.0.9rf-21.rhfc3.at libasound2-1.0.9rf-21.rhfc3.at which look like the current versions on atrpms. i'm not entirely sure what the old versions were, but it had been at least 2 weeks or so since the last dist-upgrade. I haven't looked at the atrpms list, but i'm cc'ing this message to that list in the hopes that the right people notice this and may be able to comment if it is an rpm problem or not.

[mythtv-users] mplayer audio sync issues
Hey folks, Maybe I'm hallucinating (it is entirely possible), but suddenly when I am watching videos using mplayer in 'watch videos' my audio is out of sync with the video. If I manually adjust to +0.275s by adding '-delay 0.275' to the mplayer command line, it looks better. This only seems to happen with videos played using mplayer (xvid avis in particular), but when I watch recorded videos (from pvr 250) they are fine. This only started happening in the last few days, before this, videos which have the mismatch worked fine. I'm just curious if anyone else has seen this recently. I've got a FC3 setup using ATRPMS.

Re: [mythtv-users] Anyone successful yet with an HD-3000 and QAM?
I have both working with no problems, finally. I've got a FC3 setup via Jarod's guide, which includes the PVR-250; using HD3000 2.0 drivers, unmodified. Had to manually add the QAM HD channels to the database, as mythtvsetup had problems when scanning the qam channels, but they do work after the manual editing of the db. I guess my cable provider isn't quite up to speed with the hd qam channels (providing all the required atsc feed info), which is why mythtvsetup doesn't detect things perfectly. Others don't have this issue. YMMV.

Re: [mythtv-users] Need Help with FC3 pcHDTV HD-3000 Install
I'd recommend a reboot between 'make install' and 'modprobe cx88-dvb'... this will ensure that old versions of drivers which should have been replaced by the newly compiled drivers are unloaded and the new ones are loaded.

Re: [mythtv-users] I'm a mythtv failure
the check box for xvmc is in the setup within the front end: Utilities/Setup --> Setup --> TV Settings --> Playback --> Hardware Decoding Settings (5th Screen). The top checkbox says 'Use the PVR-350's TV out / MPEG decoder' and the lower checkbox says 'Use hardware XvMC MPEG Decoding'. FWIW I can actually use XvMC since I have a video card which supports it (FX5200), but I never use it... still too buggy (though it does seem to actually help with HDTV playback).

Re: [mythtv-users] How do you "tune" subchannels in QAM?
Taylor, sounds like I'm in the same boat as Marc. I've got Comcast in Denver, CO area. I can get unencrypted channels on several frequencies, two for example are channel 18 14700 Hz - CBS-HD channel 119 76500 Hz - ABC-HD dvbsnoop 0x1FFB just hangs until ctrl-C on either frequency. I suspected that something more should be coming through and that was why I had bad luck with the mythtvsetup channel scan, thanks for confirming this. Is there a possible workaround in the mean time for adding channels so I can record / watch live? The manual adding of channels to the database (as per Marc's post above) seems to do ok, but it certainly isn't perfect. Someone else who has working hd over qam (with hd3000) shared entries from their channels table with me which seem to have some different entries than are listed above (ie some entries which are null in Marc's post shouldn't be). When I get some time to sort through it, I'll post later with any insights I'm able to find.

Re: [mythtv-users] How do you "tune" subchannels in QAM?
if i do a full scan, it goes through all the frequencies it was able to lock on and says something like 'unable to tune' or 'timeout tuning' or something like that. if i do a single frequency scan it hangs at 5% for a long time (overnight). i really thought that would work too... turns out the above method of manually adding the channels hasn't been perfect, though. it may be that my machine is only 2.4GHz and can't handle the full hd signal (should work with XvMC, though).

maybe better in mythtvsetup to set the options on the hd3000 dvb to record in ts mode instead of ps mode. i did this and it seems to be working ok. going to test out a recording, as I really don't plan on watching livetv with this setup, so we'll have to see how it works out. -AG On Thu, 31 Mar 2005 20:55:43 -0500, Marc Tousignant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >Have you been able to successfully tune the frequencies using azap?

Re: [mythtv-users] How do you "tune" subchannels in QAM?
Thanks for you concern, though. At my place OTA is just not possible. Or at least I could never get it to have a usable signal. I can confirm the above method of adding channels works, however, as I'm now in front of the frontend/backend system and am seeing HD-CBS live and clear! Now to just finish adding the other channels manually, and setting up the appropriate xmltv ids to get them some usable guide info! -Adam On Thu, 31 Mar 2005 17:26:02 -0700 (MST), John Patrick Poet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Since you can view them outside of Myth, your channels must not be > encrypted.

Re: [mythtv-users] How do you "tune" subchannels in QAM?
I can't figure out what is wrong because channel scanning doesn't seem to work at all. At least not for me... and it sounds like others are also having the exact same problem. Azap works and tunes fine and captures work outside of mythtv using dvbstream. I have viewed them lots of times on several channels, it is fantastic to see HD captures from digital cable :) Mythtv, however, is not working with the hd3000-dvb & qam (or at least hasn't been) for me. It seems when scanning channels in mythtvsetup, something is off, as the frequencies which lock are not added to the database in any useable way. I only get 'timeout tuning channel' or 'unable to tune channel' or something like this. I thought maybe database entries should be added to the tables 'dvb_channel' or 'dvb_pids' or 'channel' but the only thing i've been able to get are entries to 'dtv_multiplex' after scanning which help (so I may manually edit the db) but don't give any functionality. I haven't been able to view programs yet with the above method of manually editing the database (away from the frontend), but i'm certainly stumped otherwise and am not afraid to try this. As i may have mentioned before, for me no channel information seems to come through with the TS which may be why myth is hanging here. I think that 'dvbscan -cvvv' after azap cxxx is where i would see this (outside of myth) but don't. Perhaps your cable system is providing this kind of information which is why you can get mythtv to autoscan. Then again, maybe there's something else I'm missing... If you can think of anything, I'm ready to try anything... even went so far as to install myth from cvs (reverted back to atrpms though), to see if something new was changed since the last release.

Re: [mythtv-users] How do you "tune" subchannels in QAM?
Wow, I never would have thought of that, thanks! I also added something similar to my database, where I used channel 18-1 (which is cbs-HD here). I can't verify right now if it is working (at work, too), but the backend replies it is successfully able to tune the channel... Now to find if it can tune subchannel 2 in a similar way...

Re: [mythtv-users] How do you "tune" subchannels in QAM?
I think quite a few of us working with the hd3000 are having the same problem and are looking for solutions. I've posted both here and in the hd3000 forum but it seems like no one has been able to find a solution to this problem yet. I haven't posted to myth-dev yet, but maybe thats the place where we may find someone who knows the answer to our question, as i think it is a problem with how mythtvsetup is handling the hd3000-dvb. For example, when i run dvbscan -cvvv no channel information is given, but i've seen examples with OTA ATSC streams where channel information is explicitly supplied in the stream. Mythtv may be looking for this and since it doesn't come through, myth assumes the channels are 'unable to tune'. -Adam for reference: http://www.xmission.com/~pchdtv/forum/viewtopic.php?t=639 http://www.xmission.com/~pchdtv/forum/viewtopic.php?t=634 http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/121772 http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/120911 http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/PcHDTV On Thu, 31 Mar 2005 02:37:23 -0500, Marc Tousignant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> How can I tell myth to identify 82-1 and 82-2 as two channels? > >> I am unable to locate information on this on in the archive and > >> http://www.digitalregime.com/mythdvb/setup/ provides no assistance on > this. > > > >I don't have a 3k card, I have an Air2PC, However, I would expect this > >to be the same. > > > >In mythtv-setup, run a DVB-scan.

Re: [mythtv-users] Auto(?) scanning of QAM channels
perhaps it is selected in your zap2it profile? I also think that when you remove a channel from the channel list in mythtv-setup it just sets the 'visible' flag to zero in the channels table in the mythconverg database. You could always manually remove the entry from the database and see if it stays away after that. This will show you the contents of the 'channel' table in the mythconverg database: mysqldump -u mythtv -p -a -c mythconverg channel If you can find out which channel it is you want to remove, determine the 'chanid' and then you can remove it with mysql -u mythtv -D mythconverg -p DELETE from channel WHERE chanid=; quit This should remove all traces of the channel from the database instead of just setting it 'invisible'. BTW, i'm also trying to use mythtv and hdtv3000 with qam and comcast, but i'm having horrible luck. perhaps you could share some info with those of us struggling? I don't know if you took notes about how you setup to use qam, but if you did that would be great! Even if you could post some of the contents of your database that might be helpful. I'd personally love to see part or all of the following: mysqldump -u mythtv -p -a -c mythconverg channel dvb_channel dvb_pids dtv_multiplex Cheers, Adam On Sun, 27 Mar 2005 12:02:19 -0800, Mark Frey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Well I have just finished rebuilding my Myth machine with a PVR-150MCE > and a pcHDTV 3000.

Re: [mythtv-users] Need Help with FC3 pcHDTV HD-3000 Install
The eeprom unknown symbols are possibly related to an 'alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv' in the modprobe.conf. The ivtv tveeprom kernel object doesn't know about the hd3000, but the hd3000 tveeprom should work for both the ivtv and hd3000. Comment that line out and it should not complain. I don't know about the other cx8800 unknown symbols. I suspect you have some sort of old cx8800.ko lying around. I'm not exactly sure where the cvs drivers install to but the pchdtv 2.0 drivers install to /lib/modules/2.6.10-1.770_FC3/v4l2/cx8800.ko (or whichever kernel you are using), but I suspect a similar location for the cvs drivers. I found an old one in lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx88/cx8800.ko Removing it is a good idea (or at least moving it to a backup location just to be sure). When I load the hd3000 dvb driver it is 'modprobe cx88-dvb'.

Re: [mythtv-users] pcHDTV-3000 installation questions for Fedora Core 3
The 2.0 drivers from pchdtv.com worked fine for me as far as building and compiling, at least on my fc3 setup. The INSTALL file under the doc subfolder says it all pretty much, except for 'make udev' actually doing nothing for me, which is why i manually copied the rules and permissions over. After a reboot, this works great and 'modprobe cx88-dvb' loads the driver.

Re: [mythtv-users] pcHDTV-3000 installation questions for Fedora Core 3
if you place the .rules and .permissions files within the udev subdirectory in the 2.0 pchdtv driver in the /etc/udev/rules.d and /etc/udev/permissions.d this should automatically setup the correct devices for you. for me with the 2.0 driver, i think i get the hd3000 as /dev/video1 when i modprobe cx88-atsc. this may be because i have a pvr250 as /dev/video0. -Adam On Tue, 29 Mar 2005 13:08:40 -0800, Villalovos, John L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > SacTwoThirtyEight wrote: > > I then try and run the 'dtvsignal /dev/video0 xx' or 'dtvsignal > > /dev/video4linux xx' (where xx is a frequency assignment for dtv > > stations in my area - I do not know which to link to /dev/dtv ).

[mythtv-users] dvb channels (not) in database
I'm having some problems getting the dvb functionality working properly. I'm trying to get the pchdtv 3000 card to tune on qam digital cable, and I've had some success outside of mythtv but am struggling for how to get myth working with this card/mode. Using the pchdtv 2.0 dvb drivers has been certainly fruitful, for OTA reception is worthless for me. I have scanned through the qam channels using azap and a channels.conf-qam I found somewhere and found several channels which give a lock when tuning. For example I get the following when tuning to channel 18: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# azap c18 using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' tuning to 14700 Hz video pid 0x, audio pid 0x status 1f | signal f8d4 | snr fd59 | ber | unc | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal f8d4 | snr fd79 | ber | unc | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal f8d4 | snr fd71 | ber | unc | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal fdf2 | snr fd81 | ber | unc | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal f8d4 | snr fd45 | ber | unc | FE_HAS_LOCK i was surprised to see a low numbered channel which locked, as all the other channels i have signal on are between 80 and 119 (about 10 in total). dvbscan was used to see which channels were unencrypted and had usable sub pids (or so i think): [EMAIL PROTECTED] tools-2.6-a]# dvbscan -cvvv using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' parse_section:981: pid 0x00 tid 0x00 table_id_ext 0x0c34, 0/0 (version 22) PAT parse_section:981: pid 0x69 tid 0x02 table_id_ext 0x0002, 0/0 (version 6) PMT 0x0069 for service 0x0002 OTHER : PID 0x0050 TYPE 0x80 OTHER : PID 0x0051 TYPE 0x81 parse_pmt:798: 0x 0x0002: (null) -- (null), pmt_pid 0x0069, vpid 0x, apid 0x () parse_section:981: pid 0x20 tid 0x02 table_id_ext 0x0001, 0/0 (version 29) PMT 0x0020 for service 0x0001 VIDEO : PID 0x0021 OTHER : PID 0x0022 TYPE 0x81 parse_pmt:798: 0x 0x0001: (null) -- (null), pmt_pid 0x0020, vpid 0x0021, apid 0x () WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0011 dumping lists (2 services) [0002] (0x0002) 00: PCR 0x0050 [0001] (0x0001) 00: PCR == V V 0x0021 Done. after obtaining dvbstream via cvs, I then used it to capture 30 seconds from the dvb card on channel 18 (freq 14700) with all available substreams (8192 option): [EMAIL PROTECTED] dvbstream]# ./dvbstream -v -qam 256 -f 14700 -c 0 -o -n 30 8192 > 18.ts dvbstream v0.6 - (C) Dave Chapman 2001-2004 Released under the GPL.

Re: [mythtv-users] pcHDTV 3000 and PVR250 Help
I have the same setup here, pvr250 which works, and trying to get hd3000 working. I'm very close, but i'm not sure what to do now. Using FC3 with kernel 2.6.10-1.766_FC3 and 2.0 drivers from pchdtv. Heres a snip from my modprobe.conf: ... # ivtv modules setup alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv #alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_i2c ... install cx88-atsc /sbin/modprobe cx8800;/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install cx88-atsc install cx88-dvb /sbin/modprobe cx8800;/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install cx88-dvb install btcx-risc /sbin/modprobe tuner;/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install btcx-risc Had to comment out the alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv or else I would get loads of unresolved symbols when modprobe cx88-atsc or cx88-dvb. I load the modules in rc.d/rc.local: ... # unload modules if they are loaded so they can be loaded # in the proper order for everything to work /sbin/rmmod lirc_i2c /sbin/rmmod lirc_dev /sbin/rmmod ivtv /sbin/rmmod saa7115 /sbin/rmmod bttv /sbin/rmmod videodev /sbin/rmmod msp3400 /sbin/rmmod tuner /sbin/rmmod i2c_algo_bit /sbin/rmmod tveeprom /sbin/rmmod i2c_core # now reload the modules, note that not all modules are reloaded # explicitly since they are automagically loaded as necessary /sbin/modprobe i2c_core /sbin/modprobe i2c_algo_bit /sbin/modprobe ivtv /sbin/modprobe lirc_i2c # next load the pchd3000 dvb module /sbin/modprobe cx88-dvb not sure if the unloading then reloading is necessary for ivtv, but i had problems with ivtv before installing hd3000. it worked for whatever reason. i'm not too sure of why/whats going on here. when the modprobe cx88-dvb goes through i see the usual messages in dmesg: ... cx88[0]/0: found at :02:06.0, rev: 5, irq: 5, latency: 64, mmio: 0xfc00 cx88[0]/0: registered device video1 [v4l2] cx88[0]/0: registered device vbi1 cx88[0]/0: registered device radio1 cx2388x dvb driver version 0.0.4 loaded cx88[0]/2: found at :02:06.2, rev: 5, irq: 5, latency: 64, mmio: 0xfd00 cx88[0]/2: cx2388x based dvb card DVB: registering new adapter (cx88[0]).

Re: [mythtv-users] What to do on XBox when the backend crashes
Perhaps you could borrow from Jarod's Fedora Mythtvology for how to make the power button do something useful. I implemented this on my back/frontend and it works great to kill the front end (push power button one time), and then restart it (push power button a second time). I have an xbox frontend setup, but no dvd remote so i can't try it on that. http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/tips.php ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] problems on playback due to no ACPI and IRQ sharing?
I also had a similar problem, which it seems has been cured. I'm not sure of the cause or solution, but I'll describe what I observed and what changed as maybe it might help you. Currently my mythtv setup is on a FC3 box following Jarod's excellent howto. The machine has a Soyo SY-P4RC350 mainboard with a P4 2.4GHz with 512MB PC2700. I've disabled the onboard ATI video, and am using an agp nvidia 5200 video card instead. The display is on the vga output of this card, and I'm using the onboard sound. I am using a PVR-250 for video capture, and have a pchdtv hd3000 card installed which is not in use currently, since I can't figure out how to make it and the 250 play nicely (OTA HD reception is poor in my area to boot). I also have a 1394a card which I intend on using with the new functionality of myth 0.17 when I upgrade to digital cable. When playing back divx or xvid avi's (with mplayer from within myth) across the network from a windows smb share I observed something similar to what you described, the video skipping a few second every couple of minutes. I never tried playing avi's from the myth box itself, however. I could rewind and the video would play fine where it skipped before, but again every few minutes it would skip a second or two. I turned up the mplayer cache to 5000 kB (-cache 5000 option), which maybe helped some network streaming issues, I don't think it solved the skipping problem. Certainly I observed some irq problems as occassionally I would see a nice little popup which says "Disabling IRQ 15" (or some such number, which corresponds to the PVR-250). After this video capture doesn't work, naturally, until rebooted. I added the option "acpi=off" to my grub.conf at some point. I don't think that fixed either of the problems. Some time later I upgraded from the 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 kernel to 2.6.10-1.766_FC3, after which I had sound card issues (volume muted or some such nonsense). Reviewing the dmesg carefully upon boot after this kernel upgrade, I discovered some trouble about irq sharing (sharing disabled I believe) which the dmesg suggested the option "pci=usepirqmask". I tried it and never looked back. I don't think i have seen the 'disabling irq 15' or video skipping problem since, but maybe i'm wrong. I never bothered to look at the cpu usage, since it should have plenty of power to play back whatever i was throwing at it. hell, i have an xbox frontend in the bedroom that works flawlessly for the same playback across the network. I also had some troubles with the playback of videos recorded from the pvr-250 which i finally solved by looking carefully at jarods guide and adding "alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv" to the modprobe.conf. At some point I also added the "-ao alsa" to the video playback command for mplayer to make sure it was using alsa like it should be. I don't know which of these solved the issues (or if it is even solved), but I don't recall seeing this stupid skipping problem for a few weeks now. It certainly is irritating, i know. I'm hoping it is solved permanently. it couldn't hurt to try the kernel options i mentioned above. maybe it will fix your problems. Good luck, Adam ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
