Hi all,
It took a long time (over 5 months) but here is the first release
candidate for the redesigned and cleaned up ivtv-0.10.0 driver.
This driver will work with kernels 2.6.18 and 2.6.19.
It can be downloaded here:
http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/unstable/ivtv-0.10.0rc1.tar.gz
Note: while it has been tested pretty well it remains a release
candidate, so if you have a really stable production system you might
not want to use this driver when making important recordings.
My request is if you can all start testing this release candidate. I am
very happy with it as it is much easier to extend and improve than the
older versions. It should also be a lot more stable.
It is interesting to compare the 0.9.2 release with this 0.10.0rc1
release with regard to code size:
0.9.1: 19305 lines, 586420 bytes
0.10.0rc1: 14073 lines, 447377 bytes
That's a reduction of about 25%!
Before you start testing you should first read the notes at the
beginning of the included README file. The most important one is that
you need to use the included cx2341x encoder firmware. And if you use
ivtvfb then you will need to add extra kernel modules and most likely
you will also need to add the ivtv-fb module option osd_compat=1.
I'd appreciate it if any posts regarding this release candidate are
prefixed with [RC1] (as I did for this post).
If all goes well, then I hope to make a final release in 1-2 weeks. My
intention is to release a ivtv-0.18.0 for kernel 2.6.18, 0.19.0 for
kernel 2.6.19 and a 0.20.0 for kernel 2.6.20. This keeps the numbering
nicely regular. There will probably also be a 0.21.0 for kernel 2.6.21,
but in all likelyhood ivtv will be merged into kernel 2.6.22.
Enjoy!
Hans
Ok, I have 2 variables, so I'm not sure which is causing the problem,
but......
I just recently (over the weekend) changed out my motherboard (Gigabyte
GA-K8NSC-939) to a Gigabyte K8NS-Ultra-939 (Has additional SATA
controller & additional enet port & IEEE-1394). As part of the
changeout, I also upgraded the CPU from an Opteron 144 to an X2 3800+.
The other change I made last night was to install these 0.10.0rc1 drivers.
Somewhere along the way, I am now getting TONS of these:
I remember now that I was getting these using 0.8.1 drivers on my
Opteron 144, but I got around it by adding the option: mpg_buffers=16
but apparently that isn't valid for the new 0.10 drivers, because ivtv
wouldn't load.
Any further hints/clues as to what is going on and how to fix, outside
of custom hacking/building the driver module as outlined in this thread:
