Mike,
To answer your question...
This started with the stock 2.6.28 kernel from ubuntu without adding
the v4l or standalone pvrusb2 drivers. As soon as I upgraded from
ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04, the problem started. I next compiled and
installed the latest v4l drivers, but got the same results. FWIW, I
never tried the standalone driver, and from your other replies, I
don't think that would have made a difference.
Yes I agree. My suspicion right now is that this has to do with the
cx25840 driver which is not part of the pvrusb2 driver (we just use it).
To clear up my other post about the Hauppage drivers... After seeing
the problem, I downloaded the latest Hauppage Windows drivers (v4.5b
from Jan 2009) and extracted the firmware just to be sure I had the
latest. But this had no effect on the problem.
Again, no surprise here.
I wonder if this is not being reported by others because it's
happening on the analog chip. Maybe most have switched to digital. I
use both analog and digital. I get over-the-air digital in New York
City. In addition, my building provides a basic analog cable package.
While the USA is roughly 24 hours away from the switch to digital
(right?) there are still a lot cable subscribers on analog and a good
chunk of the rest of the world is still on analog (though not NTSC in
that case). So I'd have to think that others will have seen this. I
definitely didn't see it last time I tested it, which would have been
just before the last standalone snapshot release. On the other hand, I
could have been an idiot and not noticed it :-) I'm going to look for
the problem now however.
Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the same problem you are referring to, but I
bought an HVR-1950, and it __almost__ works.
Currently I'm just using the analog NTSC composite input and stereo
analog audio input, which are attached to my satellite receiver from its
analog outputs.
Like i said, it _almost_ works, but appears that the box will not shift
from PAL standard to NTSC standard.
http://ponzo.net/newshawk/example.mpg is 52 megs of captured video...
I've attached a sample frame, and it looks to me like it's trying to use
PAL instead of NTSC. In fact, even trying to change it with the /sys
filesystem to NTSC-M yields the same result (but the driver reports it
is in NTSC-M mode).
Would love to get this working, and would even drop-ship one of these
units to you, Mike, if you don't have one yet.
Thanks! :)
