 Hi all,
 
 The new year starts well, maybe: We found something which was in our

 I'm not sure whether it fixes something, but it might be possible.
 Can 
 everyone try it please?

Latest tree synced, patch applied, modules compiled and installed,
machine rebooted.

(yeah for proper remote access and shell!)

Let's see! I'll be back in Aberdeen tonight, and the wife and kids will
loudly complain to me via cell phone if it doesn't work...

Anyway, if this fixes the disconnects, an answer will not come
overnight.

Oh, and I updated the wiki page too, with info on this patch:

 On gentoo there is a file:

 /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

 for this purpose I have no idea on any other linux version.

Hi there!

This file does just add the blacklist line into modprobe config file. But I 
doubt it will work for videodev-module as the original hotplug/udev event is 
not about videodev but about saa7134 module.
So you maybe need to blacklist saa7134.

 Cool.

  I'm contacting Hauppauge's tech support for specs, let's hope they're

 They won't be able to help, I can - but not for a few weeks.

 I'm expecting to release public USB protocol information during Jan 08
 which would allow a GPL driver to be written. Right now I have nothing
 to give you.

Are the documents coming soon? - Really looking forward to play around with 
this WinTV-CI.

 Guess this is the root of the problem. Axel's modules might fail to
 eliminate it.

 Mauro has converted the old single videobuf.ko to different types to be
 more flexible. Looks like you have an upgrade to the new types without
 that the old videobuf.ko is removed from your /lib/modules.../media
 stuff. Try to remove/delete it manually and depmod -a.
   
 is there a way to somehow blacklist videobuf.ko w/o having to remove
 it? The reason is that packagewise this belongs to the kernel rpm
 which is managed by the upstream vendor (e.g. Red Hat, Fedora) and I
 wouldn't want to nuke it - it would return anyway with the next kernel
 update.

 Instead maybe some dummy alias or some remapping could be made to
 effectively remove it from module-utils' radar w/o actually removing
 the file? That would be much cleaner from a packaging POV.

 Thanks!
 

 Hi Axel,

 here it is de facto gone, if not anymore in the next kernel release.

 What you do in between is up to you.

 If you like to stay in sync as close as possible, of course v4l-dvb
 counts and not the delayed kernel stuff.

 Greetings,

I'm not sure what ideas people have about this after a spate of messages 
yesterday.  The dmesg extracts that I posted were from a forced reboot 
after an improper shutdown and might not be 'typical', so I just risked 
a normal reboot from cold.  This did not hang and has delivered a system 
that seems to be working properly, but during the udev phase and twice 
afterwards it reported on-screen that the video-buf.ko module was 
malformed.  This is not recorded in dmesg. 

I then did an auto shutdown/reboot sequence, again without hanging but 
with the same malformed-module message.

dmesg does still include repeated complaints about the duplicate symbol, 
as above, but there is no module videobuf.ko in the relevant directory.
 $ cd /lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.4.el5/updates/drivers/media/video/
 $ ls -l videobuf*.ko
 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23232 Dec 27 11:21 videobuf-core.ko
 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18120 Dec 27 11:21 videobuf-dma-sg.ko
 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11616 Dec 27 11:21 videobuf-dvb.ko
 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11616 Dec 27 11:21 videobuf-vmalloc.ko
and the 'malformed' module is not there
 $ ls -l video-buf*.ko
 ls: video-buf*.ko: No such file or directory

The two dvb cards are
 saa7133[0]: subsystem: 1461:f01d, board: Avermedia Super 007

Re: [linux-dvb] Lockups with cx2388x cards

2008-01-10 Thread Steven Toth
Peter Martin wrote:
 I have a couple of Hauppauge cards (Nova-T using the cx2388x and a Nova 
 Plus, again using an cx2388x) in an industrial motherboard (an Axiomtek 
 ATX6022-14G) which is causing me some grief. After a short time I am 
 getting both cards locking up (no DMA) at the same time.

Does it happen with only a single card active in the system?

Have you tried the cards on other motherboards and do they operate 
successfully without error?

  
 In order to get these cards working at all in this configuration, I have 
 re-arranged the SRAM and increased the FIFO size in cx88-core.c to 
 0x4800 bytes, and disabled all the other channels (video, audio etc), 
 which has cured the FIFO overflow errors I was getting ( general errors: 
 0x0100), but the cards still lock up. The cards can run from between 
 5 seconds and 30 minutes before the lockup. I also get the lockups with 
 the stock code, so I am happy that my SRAM chganges have not broken 
 anything.

IIRC, the fifo is pretty small (resulting in potential short latency 
issues). This could be compounded with a busy DMA bus and short fifo's 
both competing for the same DMA queue resource. I suspect increasing the 
fifo really just masks the real DMA contension issue.

What else is happening DMA wise in your system?

   Guess this is the root of the problem. Axel's modules might fail to
   eliminate it.
   
   Mauro has converted the old single videobuf.ko to different types to be
   more flexible. Looks like you have an upgrade to the new types without
   that the old videobuf.ko is removed from your /lib/modules.../media
   stuff. Try to remove/delete it manually and depmod -a.
  
  is there a way to somehow blacklist videobuf.ko w/o having to remove
  it? The reason is that packagewise this belongs to the kernel rpm
  which is managed by the upstream vendor (e.g. Red Hat, Fedora) and I
  wouldn't want to nuke it - it would return anyway with the next kernel
  update.
  
  Instead maybe some dummy alias or some remapping could be made to
  effectively remove it from module-utils' radar w/o actually removing
  the file? That would be much cleaner from a packaging POV.
  
  Thanks!
 
 here it is de facto gone, if not anymore in the next kernel release.
 
 What you do in between is up to you.
 
 If you like to stay in sync as close as possible, of course v4l-dvb
 counts and not the delayed kernel stuff.

Yes, I understand that - but I'm interested in providing recent
v4l/dvb for users of for example 2.6.18 kernels as well, as found in
RHEL5/CentOS5/SL5. This allows users or even OEMs to build multimedia
systems on stable enterprise platforms.

It all works quite well as there are mechanisms to override the
kernel's modules - only when they are renamed like in this case one
needs to take special care. That was what I was asking about. :)

Hi,

As this is an analogue TV related issue, you should post to the v4l 
mailing list instead ... dvb is for digital tv, and it doesn't appear 
that your device supports such anyway.

 The dvb/v4l merging seems to be a good idea. WRT the user/devel split,
 I think you need to make clear where bug reports need to go.
   

Agreed

 My instinct would tell me to send them to the devel list, but I would
 not be 100% sure.

To me, I'd say let everything initially fall on the user list --- as it 
is most traffic on the lists is end users reporting problems ... on a 
preliminary basis, separating out what is a bona fide bug and what isn't 
would be too difficult to distinguish ... perhaps some sort of method of 
evaluating an end user problem report and then elevating it onto the 
devel list as a bug if it is so determined to be such?

 One factor that perhaps adds some weight to this argument/proposal is
 the diminishing importance that analogue TV related issues are going
 to hold over time ( as more and more countries switch to digital
 transmission systems).  Of course, the light won't go out for
 analogue TV for a number of years to come, but I think that users
 familiar to the lists will have already noticed the trend towards dvb
 related topics on the v4l list.
 

 v4l is not about analog TV in particular, it is basically for everything 
 video related that is not a DVB device or a graphics card. This 
 includes webcams, MPEG encoders/decoders, digital video streaming, 
 among others. 
   
True enough!

 While analog TV will diminish in importance (in some 
 parts of the world) that does not mean that v4l will become less 
 important.
   

hehe...I think we are in complete agreement on that one -- see the 
amendment I made earlier in the day to this article:
http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Development:_Discussion_of_Video4Linux_API_Version_3

 I disagree. As stated above, v4l really deals with video streams in one 
 way or another. Analog TV is a fairly small part of that. So I 
 personally think that v4l is a pretty good descriptor of this 
 subsystem. (Although there are some oddities like radio and RDS 
 devices). To keep in sync with v4l-dvb-maintainer I would suggest 
 v4l-dvb-users and v4l-dvb-devel.
   

Fair enough (i.e. disagreeing about whether v4l is a good descriptor).  
But a large point here (for me) is in terms of the branding (i.e. 
LinuxTV) and a move away from the specific subsystem names which, as we 
apparently both have agreed upon, are not as clear to the end user.  In 
other words, while v4l-dvb-users and v4l-dvb-devel are good, I think we 
could do better and capitalise on on the LinuxTV branding with what I 
suggested earlier.

 - turning to the #irc channels, the same arguments hold, except that
 the dvb related channel isn't even named as such...rather it carries
 the linuxtv name ... now, I know that the channel topic headers
 will describe the type of discussion related to that channel, but
 honestly, next to no one heeds any attention to that...so it is of my
 opinion that the situation is even less then clear for the end
 userin my opinion, its time to make a single channel function for
 all end users  if so desired  even two channels --
 #LinuxTV-users (or even just usurp the existing #linuxtv channel
 into becoming multifunctional) and possibly another for developers if
 they so desire (i.e. #LinuxTV-dvel)
 

 Well, I'd choose #v4l-dvb, but otherwise I agree. 
same response as immediately above


 I never really think 
 of this as a 'linuxtv' project because I always thought of it as v4l 
 and dvb subsystems and linuxtv being just the domain name.
   

Fair enough, I can see that point. 

I do, however, as I have argued, believe that the LinuxTV name is 
superior in terms of description and branding *.

* And by branding, if it isn't obvious, I don't mean to imply that we 
are  trying to sell something, but rather am referring strictly to  
informational clarity.

[linux-dvb] dvb-fe-nxt2004.fw not available any more?

2008-01-10 Thread kevin liu
Hi,
I just tried to get dvb-fe-nxt2004.fw using perl
get_dvb_firmware nxt2004
But it seems that the firmware is not there any more.
Aver move it to another place, why we copy as much firmware as
possible into
linuxtv's website, then the perl script will not be any problem?
