Hi
Hopefully everybody has spending spending a chunk of quality time away from their computers these last few days!
After a hint from Micael I am now using the "alternate" driver from http://www.linuxdvb.tv/ (http://www.linuxdvb.tv/driver/driver-20020228.tgz) together with the TT firmware linked to on that page. I can tune to FTA channels now, but am still not getting anywhere with the encrypted channels. I am basically working with two applications: dvbtune and vdr.
There are some aspects of the DVB drivers and of their interaction with the firmware that I do not yet understand, if someone could point me in the right direction here I would be most grateful.
1a) How does the driver (or the firmware) know that a channel needs to be decrypted?
The firmware starts a PAT/PMT scan after tuning.
1b) vdr has a ca.conf file, with entries for Premiere and GOD. What can/must I enter here to make it talk to the encryption system used by DSTV in South Africa? Do I need to change the code of vdr to match?
please ask VDR related questions on the VDR mailing list.
1c) How do set up the CA using programs other than vdr?
Right now you don't have to.
2) I have the following channel definitions for a free to air channel: - channels.conf file for vdr: EuroNews:11674:v:0:26652:260:261:0:0:108 - DVBtune command: dvbtune -f 1924000 -s 26652 -p v -a 261 -v 260 -tone 0 - szap channels.conf EuroNews:1924000:v:0:26652:260:261
what about "EuroNews:11674:v:0:26652:260:261:0:0:108";?
For some reason, the first two work, but I cannot tune to the FTA channel with szap. Is there some parameter which the DVB drivers need which szap does not pass?You use an ancient frontend.h file somewhere in your system. Please remove it and use the one you get with your driver CVS snapshot in DVB/include/linux/dvb/frontend.h. scan is not compatible with the old driver, you would have to patch it to use the old API.
3) I cannot get the "scan" application which is a part of the driver to compile, as it seems that the frontend.h file that comes with the driver does not have the necessary definitions in it. Specifically, the structure definition:
struct diseqc_cmd {
struct dvb_diseqc_master_cmd cmd;
uint32_t wait;
};
Cannot compile as the structure definition for "dvb_diseqc_master_cmd" does not seem to exist. Am I missing something?
