Any update on the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-900H?

2011-11-12 Thread Rory McCann

Hi,

I recently bought a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-900H (usb id: 2040:b138), but I 
see from this wiki page 
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-900H that there is 
no driver for it. However that's as of 2008.


Has there been any progress on this since? Is that wiki page correct 
that there is still no support for that card? Is there anyway to get 
this USB device to work under linux?


Thanks,

Hi Rory,

If you search for the 900H, you'll find a thread titled Hauppauge
HVR900H don't work with kernel 3.*. The original submitter stated that
it worked in 2.6.x, but when the computer was upgraded to a 3.x kernel,
it stopped working.  This was two days ago (9 November 2011), so I'm not
sure how much progress was made (if any).

So, if your running a 2.6.x kernel, it *may* work, but it seems to be
broken on the 3.x kernels (Ubuntu 11.10 or similar distros).
Unfortunately I don't have that tuner, so I can't help out with it.

I would say try it. You can check dmesg to see if the tuner is even
being recognized (and drivers loaded). If so, then see if it works. If
not, then you might need the latest build of the v4l. You can get
information on installing the latest version from
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers
.  Then make it (without your tuner plugged in) and try plugging it in
again. Check dmesg again, and if it's recognized, try it.

Sorry I couldn't find more information on this. Also if anyone else
posts a reply, I would defer to their suggestions--as they have more
experience with this than me.

Have a good weekend.:)
Patrick.

2011-11-12 Thread Norret Thierry
 You're talking about two different versions of the 900H.  You have to go
 by the USB IDs, and *not* the model number.  One of you has 2040:6600
 and the other has 2040:b138.  The 6600 version (which is a TM6000
 design) did work at one point.  The b138 (which is a cx231xx design) has
 never been supported.

Effectively I did not pay attention
We don't have the same card, mine is 2040:6600

Yes I have the 2040:b138

When I plug it in, dmesg just shows:

[325765.514364] usb 2-1.2: new high speed USB device number 12 using 
ehci_hcd


However after talking to Mikachu on #linuxtv on IRC today, it occured to 
me that I only want this for analog, not digital. I only want to 
digitize some old VHSs, so I don't need digital.


Upon Mikachu's suggestion, I'm going to try this patch¹ and see if 
analog works.

The bug is somewhere in the code that fills the video buffers, at tm6000-video.
In order to fix, you'll likely need to have a separate machine, and use a 
serial cable for console, since you may eventually convert the bug into a
Panic again and, without the console, you'll loose the error dumps.

Alternatively, you may try to start your machine on text mode and use some 
program
to capture the traffic, like capture-example (on v4l-utils tree).

It should be noticed that older versions of the code worked without generating
panic or oops. So, maybe digging into tm6000-video history, you may be able to 
find a code that won't cause panic/oops. The problem with the old code is that 
sometimes
the code weren't able to produce an entire frame (lots of dropped/missed URB's).

It should also be noticed that videobuf-vmalloc suffered a few changes along 
the time.
So, if you backport a really old code, you'll likely need to re-apply some 
fixes on
the code, due to the videobuf changes.

DVB doesn't work. Well it sort of works, but without image. Using vlc I was
able to get the channel list and change channels, but no picture or sound is
produced. Teletext presence is detected as well. Debug attached.

PS. Sorry for the wrong thread reply, I didn't get some messages.

Hauppauge WinTV HVR-900H

2010-03-28 Thread George Tellalov
Hello linux-media,

I've recently bought an HVR-900H usb hybrid tuner (marketed as 900-without-h)
and discovered that it's been unsupported for a while now. Nevertheless
some work is being done there:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg16498.html
I've tried the patch (with linux 2.6.32) and I got as far as the firmware
being uploaded, but when I tried playing some TV it crashed the kernel.
I'm willing to help speeding up the driver development, so I was wondering if
there's anything I can start with (like testing). Hopefully I'll be able to do
some development later on, but I've got a lot of reading ahead before this could
happen.

Oh, yes - the device id is 2040:6600.

Regards
George

Okay, I'm on my way to produce that log, but it will take a while. I'll have
to recompile the driver and the kernel because the original compile I did was
quite hacky.

Hope is not lost, but news is slow.

Hauppauge are in negotiations with a silicon vendor to release a datasheet. It's 
taking longer than we'd all like. Once this is done and the 900H is working then 
I'd expect a number of other products to also benefit from the work.


No ETA currently.
