Re: [linux-dvb] uk-Sudbury dvb-t tuning data file question.

Hi,

Am Dienstag 05 Februar 2008 schrieb [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 Hello,

 Apologies if this is the wrong list to ask.

 Perhaps you could answer a few questions for me?

 Sudbury, in England, is one of the sites with two DVB-T transmitters,
 Sudbury and SudburyB, main transmitter Tacolneston. On my Mythtv box I
 have found /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/uk-SudburyB but
 there is no file for Sudbury. Now according to the www.ukfree.tv site
 Sudbury has six muxes, SudburyB has only one for ITV. I suspect I am
 missing something here, why is there only one frequency file for Sudbury
 and why is called SudburyB?

I guess it's just wrongly named; will fix that.

 Should there be two files, as for Dover for example, uk-Sudbury with six
 muxes and uk_SudburyB with one?

Geographically close transmitters should be in a single file; oh well, will 
fix that, too ...

 I assume MythTv does not use these files during tuning?

 Steve Goodey

 I haven't followed this thread from the beginning, but did you say what
 kind of DVB hardware you have?

 I know the Nova-TD stick is a bit picky. Too strong a signal will cause
 the behavior you describe on this device. On my Nova-TD, using a good
 antenna will yield no data stream (but a 100% signal), whereas if I use
 the little mobile antenna that came with the stick, I get a stream but
 mpeg artefacts in the picture (due to low signal).

 I would try attenuating the signal (or removing amplifiers) or a
 different antenna. I would also give it a shot (since you're using
 mplayer to test) to use mplayer to control the whole scenario (tune,
 stream-on, demux, decode and display). Try the following command:

 mplayer dvb://[EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Using the TV6 channel will avoid any obstacles by the channel name
 containing extended-ascii (Ö) and space ... TV6 should be an unencrypted
 channel and on the same MUX as TV4, even in the Öresund region ;)

 Analog TV worked without a problem (even with the older drivers).

 There is still a problem with the digital decoder. Sometimes it
 works fine (I can scan for channels and can run tzap to view a

 work. I've noticed the following when running dmesg:


 [ 6318.055521] tda1004x: found firmware revision 20 -- ok

 I suspect that the card is failing to work because the firmware
 sometimes isn't being uploaded for some reason. Does anybody have
 any ideas why or what I could do to try and fix this?

 Hopefully this problem can be sorted out and another card can be
 added to the list of supported DVB-T cards. Yay!

 This is not only a question of the firmware revision.
 Many cards have an eeprom with the firmware on the board. The TDA10046
 automatically tries to boot from this. The eeprom address is controlled
 with a GPIO pin. IF this pin changes while the chip boots, it will crash
 and possibly not recover. This entrie mechanism is hard to control.
 The card specific configuration structures tda1004x_config in
 saa7134-dvb.c
 have a entry .gpio_config. Please change this to TDA10046_GP01_I or try
 card type 81.
   
   
 The symptoms I'm having of unreliable firmware loading sounds like it
 could indeed be caused by GPIO pins changing during operation of the
 card and affecting subsequent firmware loads.

 I tried setting .gpio_config to DA10046_GP01_I (the default for
 card=109), DA10046_GP00_I and DA10046_GP11_I. None of these solved the
 problem. I also tried card=81, but this didn't help either.

 Are there any other configuration options that could be affecting the
 reliable upload or loading of firmware?

 Cheers,

 Russell

 
 I had a look at the photo you published. There is only one eeprom on the card?
 it is in a 8 pin package. Can you please check its type?
   

I inspected the card, and could only see one 8 pin device. The part 
number on the device is:

ATMLH722
028  1
A7F5362E

 This looks like your board has no firmware eeprom.
 So the download doesn't succeed or the dsp crashes for some reason. In the log
 you sent, were there further messages?
   

There weren't any subsequent messages in the log that were any different 
(there were more similar messages if I kept trying to use software that 
made use of the card).

I'm happy spend a bit of time trying some things that might get this 
card working. Let me know if you have any ideas.

Cheers,

Russell

14aa:0160 as unsupported, though; how can I find out whether my device
is the same? Also, what needs to happen for the device to be
supported? Is it just a question of finding an appropriate firmware
file and dropping it in /lib/firmware, or does the driver itself in
the kernel need to be hacked on to make the device work?

 No, I have yet to find any log message that says things aren't OK.

 Mythbackend seems to just fail its recordings and not create the
 recording file, which is kind of annoying. In my point of view, it would
 be better if mythbackend would *crash*, since this would make the other
 backend (which uses analog tuners) take over the recording. It wouldn't
 be the same quality, but at least the show would be recorded...

you should prefer dvb-apps from mercurial, but that is not so important.

First of all I would like to see relevant dmesg stuff for the card
and tuner to see if it is still likely the same card, auto detected and
eeprom content unchanged and all chips alive. If you enable i2c_scan=1
you look first for the devices found.

Also we never saw, if your firmware upload is successful and if you use
preferably revision 29 with such a card with Low Noise Amplifier.
If not, download it from LifeView with the script in /Documentation/dvb
and do a cold boot. (recent stuff is in a v4l-dvb mercurial snapshot)

Antenna input for DVB-T is FM/RF input.

Can you point to the initial tuning file you are using or to what you
believe is a valid channels.conf file for you?

It is always worth a try to set all to AUTO in the initial tuning file,
except frequency to tune and bandwidth and then use scan to create a
channels.conf.

If still not, we install the recent v4l-dvb, remove all old modules and
might try to debug from there.

[linux-dvb] Error in scan.c - tune to transponder?

2008-02-10 Thread Colin
Running SuSe 10.1, kernel 2.6.24-default, dvbtools 1.1.1, Kaffeine 0.8.6

I have 8 DVB-S lnbs on 2 diseqc switches running into 2 PCI cards, 
Skystar 2 and Geniatech 103G, both of which are supported in the kernel. 
The dishes, lnbs and cards are fine, work well in Windows and with 
standalone receivers Coolsat 6000 and Mercury II.

Kaffeine can scan and display channels from 6 of the 8 lnbs using the 
diseqc switches. I am trying to find out why the other two dishes are 
not tuned. So I started scan which returns the following on all adapter 
/ diseqc combinations:

__tune_to_transponder:1483 ERROR Setting frontend parameters failed: 22 
Invalid argument.

The relevant section of scan.c is

if (ioctl(frontend_fd, FE_SET_FRONTEND, p) == -1) {
errorn(Setting frontend parameters failed);
return -1;
}

Any suggestions?

[linux-dvb] Twinhan VisionPlus 2021 DVB-C tuning problems and a solution

2008-02-10 Thread Olli Helenius
Hi,

After some trial and error I managed to get tuning on a VP2021 DVB-C
card working. The card is detected correctly but running scan or czap
wouldn't tune to any channel.

The solution is just to ignore the checksum failure in dst_get_tuna. I
don't know exactly why it helps, though. Below you'll find all the
relevant information (I hope).

The patch is against changeset 7182:3a880d2669a6 from the 'tip' tag (or

Re: [linux-dvb] Help! I cant view video. BUT I can scan!!

2008-02-10 Thread Per Blomqvist

Thanx! Now it works!!

Watching some Danish (Dansk) channel, about Napoleon.

Thanx again, for mocking me up.. It was the channel.conf, that was wrong

The channel.conf -file that I used before, was 6 month old and from my 
previous computer.
(Now dvbscan doesn't detect anything on that bandwidth. And that TV6 
was on that..


If I run dvdscan against the closest mayor city (Malmö in my case, here 
in south Sweden), it only tunedin encrypted channels. BUT, against  all 
of Denmark (file dk-All) I get a some..


Its strange though.. I CAN SEE TV6 unencrypted, but in Windows XP. But 
there with A program called PowerCinema is used (in XP OS).
(tuning is a fuzz there also, I believe PowerCinema download channels 
and guides and what, from the internet. It would maybe be a point to 
retrieve its (channel) configure file. I have looked, but found none.


Another question now, how is all these initial-tuning-data created??

Can I compose one, of these by myself (from other nearby citys), or how?

Hello Jonas Andren.
(Kom inte o säg att Anden är dansk)

The Harware I have, I have said.  Its the media-card, is this: 
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Asus_My_Cinema-P7131_Hybrid
(running on a amd64, mother-board m2a-vm.. Inköpt på KjellCo byggsats 
för 2 veckor sedan...


I also said that the same Media-card did function (somewhat) on my old 
computer (a PII330MHz, though with terrible video result). And it works 
in Windows XP. So, the Media-card function.


I downloadedinstalled  linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.1.tar.bz2 
http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/linuxtv-dvb-apps-1.1.1.tar.bz2
(and all so called utils: dvbdate dvbtrafick scan and zap 
worked. BUT, nothing under the test)



you should prefer dvb-apps from mercurial, but that is not so important.

  


There is a deb-package called mercurial.
(I suspect it doesnt have anything, todo with this, no?)


First of all I would like to see relevant dmesg stuff for the card
and tuner to see if it is still likely the same card, auto detected and
eeprom content unchanged and all chips alive. If you enable i2c_scan=1
you look first for the devices found.
  
I used the linux-kernels-source. in its documents for this. Downloaded 
the firmware..
(I include dmesg output in the end of this email, anyway. The revision 
is 20, and not a LifeView fabrication..



Also we never saw, if your firmware upload is successful and if you use
preferably revision 29 with such a card with Low Noise Amplifier.
If not, download it from LifeView with the script in /Documentation/dvb
and do a cold boot. (recent stuff is in a v4l-dvb mercurial snapshot)

Antenna input for DVB-T is FM/RF input.

Can you point to the initial tuning file you are using or to what you
believe is a valid channels.conf file for you?

It is always worth a try to set all to AUTO in the initial tuning file,
except frequency to tune and bandwidth and then use scan to create a
channels.conf.
  


Yes, now my system is relatively fresh, again (I dont load any 
kernel-module with any extra options).



If still not, we install the recent v4l-dvb, remove all old modules and
might try to debug from there.

Cheers,
Hermann



  


I also tried to compile the kernel (there was this option there 
VIDEO_ADV_DEBUG). But unfortunately I cut away so other stuff, soo the 
new kernel got panic at bootup. Another story..


It was the channel.conf that was wrong.. Thx again!
(what a fuzz)
