Chris, It's on my list of things to investigate. At the moment (the force is with me again :-) I'm working on sliced VBI support for PVR150 and on adding an interface to dynamically check which VBI standards are available in which line. It will be a demonstrator project that should eventually h

[ivtv-devel] [PATCH]: Fix for alevt

2005-08-09 Thread Hans Verkuil
This patch fixes alevt support: alevt expects a sequence number at the end of the raw VBI data. This was commented out by someone and has been reinstated at the proper place. Also, the alevt patch now also fixes an alignment problem for 64-bit systems. Regards, Hans -

Hi Graeme, I have three essential questions for you: - What version of MythTV are you using? - Are you in PAL or NTSC country? - Do you set some vbi-related options using ivtvctl before running MythTV? I looked at MythTV 0.18.1 and I see NO setting for vbi_passthrough, so I fail to see how Myth

The only thing that might've been addressed were horizontal tearing issues on output on the PVR350 (specifically via xv). Your pictures are not pictures of tearing. Those are pictures of an interlaced mpeg being played on a progressive display with no deinterlacing applied. Dunno what you're using

Chris, This really isn't a problem. The raw VBI parsers don't care if the VBI lines are offset by a random amount of bytes (within limits, of course. If it's off by more than 100 bytes you might get into trouble). The start-stop codes are ignored anyway. At least alevt and nxtvepg rely on the
