Tried to get udev to create my devices (even patched up udev from fedora that should fix the dvb-problem). However, no matter how much i try i can not get udev to create the devices properly. I've tried different solutions but reading through posts from others I've created:
Hi ! I want to build a digital multimedia system for my home based on mythtv with a client/server architecture. Since i get my tv by cable (digital) i have to use a (at least one) dvb card.
Been having some serious trouble in getting my dvb-card to work under Fedora Core 3. Here is my setup: Fedora Core 3, Kernel: 2.6.9-681_FC3 Hauppauge DVB-c premium card,CI and CAM (Hauppauge/Conax) Using dvb drivers in kernel. udev/sysfs doesn't make devices so i use the MAKEDEV-DVB.sh script from Linuxtv. (btw. card works fine under windows)
lsmod gives: Module Size Used by ves1820 11213 1 dvb_ttpci 74741 3 dvb_core 80873 5 ves1820,dvb_ttpci saa7146_vv 47425 1 dvb_ttpci video_buf 24261 1 saa7146_vv saa7146 21613 2 dvb_ttpci,saa7146_vv v4l1_compat 15941 1 saa7146_vv v4l2_common 9921 1 saa7146_vv videodev 13377 1 saa7146_vv ttpci_eeprom 6465 1 dvb_ttpci

using dvb-apps/util/scan give me a channels.conf (i find almost every channel...read somewhere that i should check some timeouts to get a better scan result)
using same channels.conf as input for czap and i get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] szap]$ ./czap -c channels.conf RTL -r using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' 23 RTL:274000000:INVERSION_AUTO:6875000:FEC_AUTO:QAM_64:1100:1101:207 23 RTL: f 274000000, s 6875000, i 2, fec 9, qam 3, v 0x44c, a 0x44d status 1f | signal b0b0 | snr efef | ber 009ffff6 | unc ffffffff | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal ffff | snr f0f0 | ber 009ffff6 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK status 1f | signal ffff | snr efef | ber 009ffff6 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
(status tells me i got good signal, little noise and that there is data on vdr0, trying to just do cat /dev/dvb/..../vdr0 gives output)
then i try to view the stream in mplayer and nothing happens...see below.
i've also tried xine and did not get a picture there either.
[mythtv]$ mplayer - < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
I have never tried piping the output from the dvb device straight into mplayer but is suspect it will not work. Try using dvbstream and pipe it's output to mplayer, this works for me:
dvbstream -o -ps -qam 64 512 650 1590 | mplayer -
you will of course need to substitute the appropriate pids for you station (use scan -c to get the list of available pids)
Cheers,
Mark

edited /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions (added dvb section)
edited /etc/udev/rules.d/dvb.rules (and tried renaming it to 06-dvb.rules)
no errors in /var/log/messages
no devices ;(
now I'm in the dark and I do not know enough about linux to find more errors. All HW reports OK (except for this message in log:
videodev: "av7110" has no release callback. Please fix your driver for proper sysfs support, see http://lwn.net/Articles/36850/) I expect this to be one of the reasons why udev won't create the devices.
As of now scan works. czap outputs some sort of data on /dev/dvb/adapter0/vdr0 but I do not know enough linux to check the format of the stream.
Anyone had a similar problem? I'm very grateful for all support I've gotten so far.
