[Bug 439163] Re: HVR-1300 HVR-3000 HVR-4000 broken in kernel

2009-11-01 Thread dda...@gmail.com
In te past two days I made some tests comparison of kernel 2.6.31 patched 
(mythbuntu 9.10) toward kernel 2.6.28 (mythbuntu 9.04).
The result is that the patched 2.6.31 results worst in receiving DVB-T 
transmissions with respect to 2.6.28 specially when the signal strength is weak.

[Bug 439163] Re: HVR-1300 HVR-3000 HVR-4000 broken in kernel

2009-11-10 Thread dda...@gmail.com
Yesterday night I gave a shot to analog part of my HVR-1300 before it gets 
smoked somehow.
I agree whit those are saying analog has still some problem to work.
At first I should precise that I never used HVR-1300 analog under Linux system 
then I would make something of wrong.
Anyway, after added the analog part in mythbackend configuration and linked 
input television to xmltv grabber (the same as DVB-T) I tried to scan 
frequencies and see if it catch somethin.
The behaviour I met upon scanning is that it does nothing I mean that all 
remain steady at 0% scanning.

Notice for those having the need to save the patch saved.
Instead of "hg clone http://hg.kewl.org/v4l-dvb-20091103/";
another way is:
wget http://hg.kewl.org/v4l-dvb-20091103/archive/tip.tar.gz -O ~/tip.tar.gz
tar zxvf ~/tip.tar.gz
cd ~/v4l-dvb-20091103-2fe2e1f20be3
...
In this way anyone can save tar file for later use and get rid of downloading 
problems.

PS Regarding the smoked card I carried the PCI adapter in the laboratory where 
I work and find a wire is blown due to a short circuit may be. Hope to serve 
for doing more test if repairing the wire it solves.
Tonight ...

I could give a try to the analog part of my HVR-1300 and report how it
behaves if this could help but I couldn't ensure about the results since
no more analog transmissions here. May be I have a sort of analog
converted from satellite on band H (Euronews, CNN etc.).

2009-10-25 Thread dda...@gmail.com
Thanks to a BIG help via chat finally I got it working
I installed from scratch Mythbuntu 9.10 rc 64bits on a system using D945GCLF2 
nothing has configured before applying the patch.
Steps have done to gain it to work are
1. add repository deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic universe main 
restricted multiverse
2. sudo apt-get install build-essential mercurial linux-headers-generic 
libncurses5-dev
3. hg clone http://hg.kewl.org/v4l-dvb-fixes/
4. cd v4l-dvb-fixes
5. make menuconfig
# -> Multimedia Support -> DVB/ATSC adapters -> disable FireDTV and FloppyDTV
6. make
7. sudo make install
8. reboot

Thank again for the support
Dario

I don't know it if the behaviour is strictly related to this but yesterday 
night I made some tests. One of them got the system blocked. While watching TV 
I changed channels 3-4 times then I tried to watch back into the circular 
buffer but while rewinding the system got blocked.
When I will be back home I will investigate better.

I understand what you say and probably the reason of the blocking
condition was the rewind before the start recording point. That is not a
big problem for me even if I am going to use myth for both live and
recorded programs.

After a reinstall I applied the patches as of #61 then I run system update.
After the reboot I found no audio were available and gstreamer says
"GStreamer was unable to detect any sound devices. Some sound system specific 
GStreamer packages may be missing. It may also be a permissions problem." while 
video is perfect.

OK as usual I was wrong when I said wasn't working.
Applying the patch on a fresh install all work fine.
The reason of the previous fault could be I applied the patch and, without 
doing a reboot, I made the update.
Sorry guys.

Re: [Bug 439163] Re: HVR-1300 HVR-3000 HVR-4000 broken in kernel

2009-11-04 Thread dda...@gmail.com
I just used the http://hg.kewl.org/archive/v4l-dvb-fixes/ on a real system
while I have compiled, installed and built a deb install for the
http://hg.kewl.org/archive/v4l-dvb-fixes/ on a Vboxed system running myth
Karmic but after that I never installed on the system I have at home which
is now running jaunty.

Tonight I will reinstall all for you and test in the way you suggested.

What I have noted after I tried myth 8.04, 9.04 and 9.10 is that now 9.04
stutter a bit while never was before.
Regarding the poor quality I meant that often are present some artefact and
sometime glitches on audio path while there were no stuttering.
At home I have two different TV plugs one of them has bad quality signal.

One word about karmic: the problems I had after I installed the distribution
are so many that I decided to revert to Jaunty.
Note that I have 2 PC at work and 4 at home most of them running windows and
Ubuntu.
Grub is not booting if you decide to have it booting in a partition (3 PC
are having this problem all using OSL2000 as boot manager).
Myth Karmic have no support for PAL on intel 945 (also Jaunty indeed) have
to be patched and finally if you decide to switch off by pushing the power
button it asks for a password (I have no keyboard attached to my HTPC!)...
Anyway I appreciate what you are doing and I will try to support you as much
as possible.

I hope to post the result of tests tomorrow

Cheers

Dario

2009-11-05 Thread dda...@gmail.com
Hi dmb
Good news from here!
Now after path 20091103 was applied to 9.10 the video quality is very close to 
that it was in 9.04.

what I did:
On a myth fresh install
1. Enabled PPA repos as of http://www.mythbuntu.org/files/mythbuntu-repos.deb
2. sudo apt-get update | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
3. sudo apt-get install build-essential mercurial linux-headers-generic 
libncurses5-dev
4. hg clone http://hg.kewl.org/v4l-dvb-20091103/ 
5. cd v4l-dvb-20091103
6. sudo make menuconfig
# -> Multimedia Support -> DVB/ATSC adapters -> disable FireDTV and FloppyDTV
7. make
Some warning but they seem unrelevant
8. sudo make install
9. sudo reboot

After that configured and scanned for channels. Signal level spanned by 34% to 
43% while s/n ratio was no less than 98.
Subsequent tuning revealed some artefacts but consistently less than old patch 
was applied and rarely glitch (I hope is the right term) on audio.
I am pretty satisfied on that. 

Compliments you did a really good work!

tchuss

2009-10-13 Thread dda...@gmail.com
If all stated is true I can't figure why by executing the scan command and 
outputting the result to channels.conf it finds all channels and if I try to 
import the channels.conf just produced I got the channel time out.
For my point of view the bug should resides in channel scan and not on cx88.dvb 
or either but I leave programmers to decide that.
Thank you for the effort guys

2009-10-21 Thread dda...@gmail.com
My present situation is:
Since I have three D945GCLF2 one of them already configured and running with 
windows and GBPVR + remote Media MVP that is located in one house. I decided to 
convert my home windows GBPVR with the more performant Mythbuntu 9.04.
Unfortunately Kernel doesn't permit to correctly manage s-video PAL output 
(Backedup with VGA to SCART converter on one system) one pathc is already 
present on 2.6.32 but is incomplete whiile channel scan and lirc are no more 
working on 2.6.32.
Since when all my three planned backend will be approved by my wife (WAF 
compliant) I will not be able to do nothing on them I decided to step on with 
Mythbuntu 9.10 but it seems it will take longer than the expected.
I think present GBPVR + 2 Media MVP are currently running will work for long 
time then.
I will patiently wait.
