Oops with AVerTV DVB-T Volar (mt2060)

2013-09-06 Thread Dave Cunningham
In the last few days I've installed a old AVerTV DVB-T Volar USB stick
into my mythtv backend.

The system is running debian squeeze with the 3.2 debian backport kernel.
The motherboard in the sytem uses an AMD 760G/SB710 chipset. The USB stick
is plugged into a mains powered (usb2) hub (NEC chipset).

EIT active scan is enabled in MythTv (0.24)  the tuner/signal timeouts
are set to 1000ms/3000ms in mythbackend

Since installing the stick I've started getting I2C read from the mt2060,
shortly afterwards I get an oops (see below).

I've googled a bit and I've come across similar reports from some years
ago in regards to Hauppage Nova-T sticks. Whether they are the same or not
I'm unsure, but the feedback to these issues appears to have been that a
fix was committed (presumably long before kernel 3.2)

Any suggestions here?

A bit of background, I've just picked up this dib7000 stick after a couple
of years of getting I2C errors from a pair of AF9015 sticks. I've finally
gotten sick of the issues and am trying to get a more stable system.

The powered hub is connected to the system as it seemed that the AF9015
sticks seemed more stable when plugged into this hub, rather than the
motherboard root hubs.

Also installed in the system are 2 atheros ar9280 cards (pci-e), an
RTL8139 based adsl router(pci) and a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-4000(pci). I've
never had any problems with any of these pci/pci-e cards, only the dvb-t
usb sticks.

FYI, I'm suspicious that the USB on the amd 760/710 usb is buggy
(suspicions arise from some googling I did around this some years ago).
I'm considering changing the motherboard for one based on an AMD 970/SB950
chipset. Is this likely to be wise or just throwing more money away?

I have two af9013 sticks in my mythtv backend. One is a KWorld 399U, the 
other a single tuner Tevion stick.


When I originally setup this system I had major problems with these 
sticks and also a pair of Freecom WT-220U (which worked perfectly in an 
older system - I've since disposed of these).


I was seeing I2C read fails similar to the above.

The system in question has an AMD760G southbridge.

After a lot of googling I came across a post somewhere which said that 
the USB host controller on the 760G is problematic and suggested getting 
a NEC or VIA hub and using this between the DVB sticks and the root hub.


I bought a cheap hub with an NEC chip on and since then (6 months maybe) 
I've had no problems with the system. Having said this I probably don't 
use all three frontends that often (I also have a DVB-S card and this 
takes precedence) though I certainly have on occasion and don't recall 
any problems.

Hi there,


Hi.

I have a problem using my DIGITRADE DVB-T stick, which is marked as 
fully supported in the wiki. It works fine for a while, but after some 
time it crashes and I have to reboot and disconnect the stick to make 
it work again (for a while)


The same thing happens to me with two different af9015 tuner sticks,
an Avermedia Volar Black and a dual KWorld DVB-T-USB 399U (which
happens to have other problems too due to its dual nature not being
completely supported).

In the end, I had to look for a tuner stick with a different chip set
(and that proved to be a challenge itself due to the apparent
popularity of af9015 among manufacturers) so that my mythtv rig would
be dependable.



Do you mind me asking what you ended up with?

I've got similar problems with af9015. I have a Tevion stick that works 
with the V4L HG tree and 4.65 firmware but locks up the machine with the 
git tree and/or any other firmware version. I also have a KWorld 399U 
which causes the machine to lock up with any firmware/driver version 
I've tried.


Previous to these I had 3 WT-220U sticks running stable in an Epia 
mythtv backend. I 'upgraded' the backend to an AMD system and all 3 
started locking up the system - hence the move to af9015!

I have strong feeling this issue is fixed already. Install latest Git

I've compiled the git media-master, commit 
1c8c51f7413ec522c7b729c8ebc5ce815fb7d4a8 and still have problems.


With the Tevion Stick I now see the following at boot (with both

AF9013/15 I2C problems

2010-10-17 Thread dave cunningham
A few months ago I switched systems and started having problems with a 
pair of WT-220U sticks 
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg22309.html.


I got nowhere with this problem so gave up changing to a pair of AT9015 
sticks.


I started with a Tevion DK-5203 using firmware 4.65.

I have no problems in this configuration.

I then added a KWorld 399U. On insertion I got a kernel message saying 
firmware 4.95 is required so I switched to this.


Now neither stick works correctly (either individually or with the other 
stick).


At boot things are fine and I can use either stick (and both tuners on 
the 399U).


At some point however I get a flood of message in the syslog like this:

Re: Problems with Freecom USB DVB-T dongles

Hi,

I'm having problems with a pair of Freecom USB dongles and am wondering 
if anyone has any pointers?




snip


In dmesg at boot I see one message for each device
dvb-usb: recv bulk message failed: -110

Other than this everything seems OK.

The system is running MythTV Backend (0.23) and I can have them both 
recording simultaneously as I would expect.


At some point however I start to get floods of messages to the console 
(repeats of dvb-usb: recv bulk message failed: -110) and the system 
slows down to a crawl.

I'm still looking for any suggestions. From a brief look at the source 
this message seems to be coming from a call to usb_bulk_msg.


Given that the dongles are OK in a via system does this likely suggest a 
compatibility issue with the USB host controller on the AMD 760G board?


I'm I likely to get anywhere trying to debug the code or will a USB 
analyser be required to work out what's going on?

Problems with Freecom USB DVB-T dongles

2010-08-25 Thread dave cunningham

Hi,

I'm having problems with a pair of Freecom USB dongles and am wondering 
if anyone has any pointers?


The dongles appear identical, Freecom Art No. 25452. and have the same 
USB descriptors, ID 14aa:0221.


In the boot log they show as WideView WT-220U PenType Receiver 
(Typhoon/Freecom), using firmware dvb-usb-wt220u-02.fw.


I have been using these dongles in a Via Epia 15000 system, running 
Debian Lenny i686 for the last 18ish months without issue.


I've just moved them to an AMD 760 based motherboard (Sempron processor) 
running Debian Squeeze x86_64.


The dongles do function up to a point.

In dmesg at boot I see one message for each device
dvb-usb: recv bulk message failed: -110

Other than this everything seems OK.

The system is running MythTV Backend (0.23) and I can have them both 
recording simultaneously as I would expect.


At some point however I start to get floods of messages to the console 
(repeats of dvb-usb: recv bulk message failed: -110) and the system 
slows down to a crawl.


The only way I've found to recover from this is to shutdown mythbackend 
and physically remove the dongles from the system. At this point I get a 
few messages dvb-usb: recv bulk message failed: -23 then I guess the 
driver is unloaded and the system appears to recover fully.


I can now plug the dongles back in and they appear to function again 
until the next time.


I've tried unloading the dvb_usb_dtt200u when I get the flood but I get 
an error saying the device is in use.


I'm not sure what's triggering the problem - sometimes it'll kick in 
after 10 minutes, the last fail came after ~10 hours.


I've tried a few versions of the V4L code base but am seeing the same in 
each.


From googling it seems that various people have experienced similar 
issues but I've yet to find anyone offering a solution.


Any ideas?
