Re: [linux-dvb] Nova-T 500 issues - losing one tuner

2008-02-03 Thread Jonas Anden
I have a hunch about this problem...

I had this problem (I tink 3 times last weekend) after initially
updating my hg tree and recompiling the modules. I then turned on full
debugging for the dib0700 module in order to try to see what happens
when it goes wrong, but with full debugging on I haven't been able to
reproduce the problem. I ran with full debugging on from monday to
saturday and *really* tried to make it go away. I tried starting all
tuners at once (ie scheduling three programs with the same start time),
I tried running long recordings, I tried running plenty of retuning, and
I tried doing it my normal way of a few recordings a day. Nothing made
the tuner die.

So yesterday, I finally gave up in trying to cause the problem. I turned
debugging back off, and this morning one of the tuners is dead again
(MythTV stopping at L__ instead of proceeding to LMS.)

The *ONLY* change I have made is changing the debugging setting.

This, in combination with the fact that some people see it and some
don't, leads me to believe that this is timer-induced. Something can't
keep up. Adding debugging makes the operations slightly slower (the
module needs to do additional IO to speak to syslogd), and this delay
seems to be enough to keep it operational.

I don't think this has anything to do with the remote since I have the
RC feature disabled (I'm using an M$ MCE remote instead).

I set it up with full debugging (options dvb_usb_0700 debug=15). This
will cause a whole bunch of logging in the system logs, but appears to
keep the tuner alive. I have now changed the debug setting to 1 (only
'info' type messages) to see if that also keeps the tuner alive.

My system has a 3.3 Ghz Celeron processor. Shaun, Ben, Nicolas -- what
kind of systems are you running? If my hunch is correct, I'd expect
Shaun and Ben to have faster processors than Nicolas since they are
seeing this issue and Nicolas isn't.

Then do a cold reboot, going through a power down, then check in the

Re: [linux-dvb] What is the MAC of a DVB card?

2008-02-03 Thread Josep Colom Ikuno
There's a nicie guide about how to get DVB-H in
http://amuse.ftw.at/downloads/dvbh-relay. It explains how to do that (and
relay the video) quite well. And about receiving the MPEG-TS from the
network... I don't know I suppose the way would be to receive it in VLC and
then stream it.

Re: [linux-dvb] Nova-T 500 issues - losing one tuner

2008-02-03 Thread Shaun
Hi  People,

Jonas I like your never give up attitude.

I am running on a 3Ghz P4. At the moment I am running with a very slightly 
modified driver. I have my remote plugged in and I sometimes get hundreds of 
messages like the one below:

Jan 23 22:01:00 media-desktop kernel: [ 1062.522880] dib0700: Unknown remote
controller key :  0 20

I have included a line in linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dib0700_devices.c 
that eats the unknown controller key and prevents the message repeating, as 
was suggested by Jonas.

From my mythwatcher logs:

I have been using the modified driver since [2-2-08 12:24:58].
I have been up for 24 hours with no disconnect. I will let you know how it 
goes. If I do get a disconnect, I will turn on debugging and see how that 
goes.

I tried contacting Markus with the following but no response - probably
one of you experienced coders on this list will know what's wrong
though? As I say below, the 'standard' v4l-dvb builds fine but is no use
with this card.

Cheers

 Having another try to get my Avermedia A16D card working with latest hg
 code. I'm also using the very latest OpenSuSE 'factory' platform, with
 kernel 2.6.24-rc8-git2-5-default. gcc is 4.3.0
 
 I can build the 'standard' v4l-dvb tree OK, though as expected it
 doesn't see my card. However, when I try to build your

 OTOH, your change may result in better code by using a negated jump instead of
 explicitely negating the value.

If I'm not totally wrong, ! is negating integers: !123 == 0. At least I 
hope that, otherwise I have to go through a lot of code ;)

Your interpretation of ! is actually achieved by using ~ .

 I don't see how to turn on 22kHz on LNBP21. How can this be done?

 Patrick.

 My understanding is that this needs to be done through the diseqc control:
 via i2c control of the lnbp21, yo can either turn the tone permanently on
 or let it be controlled by a pin - through the channel decoder.
 
 The tda10086 is not generating the tone? Only the lnbp21 can do it? The 
 bit7 only enables that on the lnb21, because it is configured to only do 
 it, when a specific line is 1?
 
 In that case the lnbp21-driver is not prepared for having the tone forced, 
 it seems. So data sheet reading.
 
Are we talking about different chips / datashets?
Mine says that if the TEN bit is 0, the 22kHz generator is controlled by the
DSQIN pin. A high at this pin turns the OSCILLATOR on.
And to my understanding this is the only way to do it: the tda10086 has to 
generate
the ENVELOPE of the 22kHz signal. If it contains the carrier, this will disturb 
the
on chip oscillator. This might still work in the static case, but not if we
want to generate diseqc messages with bursts of just 11 periods.

 Actually I'm asking myself why it is wrong to not set the bit7 of the 
 tda10086? Could be a config option.
 
See above. We might make it a config option, but we should only do it if we 
really
need to and i am not convinced yet.

 Could it be that you somehow just forgot to choose the upper band in your 
 tuning
 data / dvb application?
 
 I'm only using dvbscan and vdr - never bothering about that - it simply 
 worked ;)
 
 Patrick.
 
Are you sure that it is a lnbp21 on your board?
What kind of satellite equipment do you have?
- a single LNB, so the 22kHz tone is enough.
- a Multiswitch?
  if yes, which commands does it need / understand?
  - nothing but the tone?
  - a tone burst to switch between satellites and the tone?
  - full diseqc (2?) serial messages?

I got a board with tda10086 and lnbp21 let and started measuring.
voltage switching and static tone work fine with the current
configuration.
