Re: [linux-dvb] Please finaly include hvr4000 (was hvr4000-news)

2007-12-13 Thread Holger Steinhaus
 Thank to the tremendous work of Steven Stoth and Darron Broad and
 certainly lots of other, HVR-4000 is now perfectly supported with only
 the need of a small patch to be found under
 http://dev.kewl.org/hvr4000/v4l-dvb-hg-2007-12-06-FIX.diff
The same is true for the DVB-S-only version of this card, called Hauppauge 
NOVA-S2-HD PCI or HVR-4000lite . I've used this card for several days now - 
without any issues or instabilities so far. Very nice work, many thanks to 
all people involved.

Regards,
  Holger

[linux-dvb] Pinnacle PCTV Sat HDTV Pro USB (452e) packet loss

2007-12-13 Thread John Goacher
Although this device is not yet officially supported, I've been trying to get 
it working following success reported by others in an earlier thread. I've 
followed the instructions in the DVB wiki entry for this device, and have 
succeeded in tuning the device using the patched version of szap, and recording 
a transport stream (using cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0  recording.ts).

However, the transport stream shows up discontinuity errors which manifest as 
glitches in the playback. From the stats produced by TS Reader the rate of loss 
is typically around 1 packet in 700, though it varies from run to run. 

I realise the simplest explanation for this would be a poor quality signal. 
However, the device performs flawlessly under Windows XP in exactly the same 
hardware configuration (same computer, dish, and sat feed) when tuned to the 
same channels. This seems to rule out signal quality as a cause unless the 
linux driver does not configure the device's error correction properly. Is 
there any possibility this could be the case ?

I've also tried running the linux configuration on two different computers - an 
AMD X2 4600 with Asus M2NPV-VM mobo, and a Via EPIA5000 system (with a PCI 
5-port USB2.0 card). The same problem occurs on both systems.

I'm using kernel version 2.6.18-2. I also have two DVB-T USB adapters which 
work with the same software configuration with no packet loss.

The channels I've tried are BBC 1 London and BBC HD. Obviously, the data rate 
is much higher on the HD channel. I've cross-checked with the XP configuration 
to make sure that the frequencies, polarity, etc. are correct in the 
channels.conf file.

Note that during the BBC HD trial from Crystal Palace I was able to record this 
channel from a DVB-T adapter without packet loss even on the EPIA5000 (533 MHz 
Via Eden processor).

I'm unable to determine at what point in the processing chain the packets are 
being lost. I temporarily inserted some checks for continuity errors on a 
specific pid in the 'dvb_dmxdev_ts_callback' function in dmxdev.c. This showed 
packets had already gone missing at this point in the driver. I don't know my 
way around the code well enough to be able to pursue it further. In particular, 
I can't tell whether the packets are being discarded somewhere in the driver, 
or within the device itself. The only kind of errors which I detect are 
continuity errors. Does the device filter out all packets in error or does it 
pass them through to the driver with the appropriate error flags set in the 
packet header ?

Has anybody succeeded in getting an error free transport stream from this 
device ? If not, are there any ideas about where the problem might be ?

Thanks,
John

[linux-dvb] How to Scan C-BAND Signal

2007-12-13 Thread thirunavukarasu selvam
Hi all,
I am using WinTv-Nexus-S card, with ku-band feed connected to it.
I am using linux-dvb-apps scan utility to scan the channels.
With ku-band signal i used the following command to scan the channels.
#scan Hotbird-13.0E
This is working fine without any issues.

Now i started using C-Band signal.
when i try the same command, it says tunning failed.
I tested the signal in the feed by connecting it to a TV. It shows the
following channels.
Gyandarshan, Eklavya, UGC-CEC etc...

So Please help me to fix this problem.

Thanks for ur help in advance.

Regards,
Thiru.

Re: [linux-dvb] Pinnacle PCTV Sat HDTV Pro USB (452e) packet loss

2007-12-13 Thread Daniel Golle
i also noticed glitches on some channels, but not all.
Using szap2 (or the patched version of VDR 1.5) on Astra 19.2E
Das
Erste:11836:hC34M2S0Z0:S19.2E:27500:101:102=deu,103=2ch;106=dd:104:0:28106:1:1101:0
works perfect and didn't show a single error in several hours of
recording, while

rarely gives any complete picture at all - usually vdr-softdevice
crashes after some seconds...
this pointed me to a possible dependency on the symbol rate, but i
didn't investigate it further. as I'm currently waiting for a new LNC to
be delivered, i cannot run any meaningful test at this moment (but
hopefully next week).

hi,
Looks like it is almost working :)

Román wrote:

  Be aware that lsusb -v (without ehci_usb) lists 1023 as the maximum
 packet size, as opposed to 564 (the value with ehci_usb loaded), but
 changing that parameter didn't make any difference. Also note the
 value in .interval: I only got some success with values between 100
 and 200, approximately. I'm not an expert but they seem very strange
 values to me. Didn't have any success at all with ehci_usb loaded.

There is not many drivers using isoc currently, only au6610 and ttusb2. 
When I did au6610 it was was also hard to guess those values. I don't 
know whats the correct way to find values, but here is method I used 
(au6610.c):

.framesperurb = 40,
from usbsnoop.log
NumberOfPackets  = 0028

.framesize = 942,
from lsusb
wMaxPacketSize 0x03ae  1x 942 bytes
or from usbsnoop.log
IsoPacket[1].Offset = 942

.interval = 1.25,   /* 125 us */
Interface[0]: Pipes[1] : Interval  = 0x0001
Interface[0]: Pipes[1] : PipeType  = 0x0001 
(UsbdPipeTypeIsochronous)

I don't remember where I found 125 us, maybe looking times from 
usbsnoop.log. Anyhow, looks like it is wrong but still works just fine 
because 1.25 is rounded to 1 due to integer.

I hope this helps :)

[linux-dvb] Additional tuning status values req'd for tda10048

2007-12-13 Thread MikeW
The TDA10048 (channel decoder) has some status registers
that are helpful for fast scanning and accurate tuning.

AUTO_OFFSET/OFFSET_F and FREQERR_R/TIMERR_R - for offset detection and tuning 
sampling clock correction

How would features such as these fit into the existing frontend API ?

I could imagine a FE_CAN_OFFSET_AUTO, FE_CAN_FREQ_CORRECT and
FE_CAN_SAMP_CLOCK_CORRECT, in fe_caps,
and an FE_HAS_OFFSET in fe_status, but can't see how you could
read or set any of the other values without extending ioctls.

I guess they could be additional dvb_frontend_parameters:

The datasheet for the zl10353 is freely available on the Intel support site.
Intel now call it a CE6353, the datasheet is D55752.pdf.

It seems to include everything, pin allocation etc.
Can this be used to improve our zl10353 driver ?

Re: [linux-dvb] Twinhan VP1041 and 64-bit FC6 troubles

2007-12-13 Thread Hans Werner
I can confirm that Gernot's patch 
http://pansy.at/gernot/twinhan-vp1041-3.diff.gz
is working for me for the Twinhan VP-1041
(aka Azurewave AD-SP 400, and it looks like the Technisat SkyStar HD2 too.)

Kernel 2.6.22 (ubuntu gutsy).

Scan found 1198 FTA TV and radio channels on Hotbird. Finds DVB-S and
DVB-S2 channels ok.

Tuning with szap -i -r working fine (still have the hanging problem with szap 
-r but interactive mode is ok).

DVB-S:
Tuning between channels in 2-7 seconds.
Playing fine with mplayer. Reception seems solid.

DVB-S2:
was able to tune and lock several DVB-S2 HD channels on Astra 19degE
(though not always first time). Dumped out a few files from ASTRA HD+ (FTA) 
-- when played with mplayer I hear the audio but see no video. Don't know 
if the files are actually ok yet. 

Many thanks Gernot.

Hans

 Gernot,
 thanks, I have tried your second patch from 
 http://pansy.at/gernot/twinhan-vp1041-2.diff.gz
 and could successfully see one dvb-s channel on my Twinhan VP-1041, but
 when I use szap -r to view the channel it hangs in a way that I can't kill
 (it becomes a process in state D, i.e. uninterruptible sleep). So I can't 
 change channels and have to reboot. I didn't try dvb-s2 yet.
 
 Here is what I did -- perhaps you can see something wrong:
 
 a)kernel 2.6.20 stock ubuntu feisty, amd-64bit
 
 b)used your patch to patch multiproto commit 0f3e5ce65e32
 
 c)there was one file missing from your patch (cu1216_regs.h) so I copied
 it from the driver on twinhan's website v1.4.2
 
 d)compiled patched multiproto and installed successfully
 
 e)obtained scan from http://jusst.de/manu/scan.tar.bz2 and slotted in the
 util/scan directory of hg http://linuxtv.org/hg/dvb-apps/. I fixed up the
 .h includes to come from the earlier multiproto compilation.
 
 f)obtained szap.c from http://abraham.manu.googlepages.com/szap.c and
 compiled it in util/szap according to
 http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-October/021474.html
 
 (messy -- is there a dvb-apps for multiproto tree somewhere?)
 
 scan seems to work fine to create a channels.conf.
 Then to view a channel I did:
 szap -r -a 0 -l UNIVERSAL -t 0 -c channels.conf channelname
 and then
 mplayer -  /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
 
 szap tunes and locks and I get video and audio from mplayer but after that
 I cannot kill it (with ctrl-c or kill) to change to another channel.
 
 Any idea what's wrong?
 What's the best way to view channels?
 Are you merging your code into multiproto?

 Hans
 
 
  hy,
  
  i have updated my patch. now it's also based on the current mantis tree
 on 
  jusst.de (much improved i2c code, so intialization  tunning is much
 faster)

  pherhaps you like to try this patch against the current multiproto
 branch
  on http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto/.

  it's working much better for me. also it compiles with recent kernels.

  p.s.:
 
  if you want to test it mythtv, youd could try this hack against current
  svn:

   Hello everyone,
  
   I have hard time getting the VP1041 (Azureware AD-SP
   400)
   to work properly with 64-bit FC6. I used the drivers
   from
   Twinhan web site. First compiled them with the stock
   kernel-2.6.18-1.2798, then I tried with the latest
   2.6.22 -2 FC6 kernel. The drivers compile OK. They
   also load just fine, the frontend is created and all
   of the nodes in /dev/dvb* are created just fine.
   The problem is when I try to use the interface - as
   soon as I try to open the frontend I get kernel Oops.
   It looks like stb0899 module is not happy about
   something.
   I've seen that some people are using the card - how
   did you guys get it to work? Could it be the 64-bit
   that is giving me problems?
  
   Thanks.
   Simeon

Has anyone written (or started working on) a patch for Kaffeine so that
its dvb functions work with multiproto?

Thanks,

Hans
