Did not have chance to check the card before now. It was not an ADV7170 based soI changed it to ADV7175. No luck though. Still no wss and tv must be changed by hand usint tv's remote. And I know the tv supports it because when using FF cards output it worked fine. Any other hints? What should the parameters for adv717x module be? \\Kartsa ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Sorry, I don't think that helps - again, as far as I know, the WSS stuff only works with ADV7170 based cards. The patched adv717x driver never even tries to set the WSS mode for any other DXR3/H+'s. I don't have any others than a couple of ADV7170 based cards so I can't test with anything else. It could be useful to ask on dxr3-devel or dxr3-plugin lists if someone can help out more. Any other hints? What should the parameters for adv717x module be? There are no module parameters that affect WSS. Programs using the driver set the desired WSS mode themselves. The patched em8300setup program can be used for this too if you want to try out something. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I have both and I can confirm that the ADV7175 does not support WSS. If you're really bored feel free to compare the datasheets http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/48906/AD/ADV7175.html http://www.ortodoxism.ro/datasheets/analogdevices/168564552ADV7170_1_a.pdf ADV7170 has WSS support clearly stated where as ADV7175 makes no mention of it at all. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Easiest would be , if there would be a framebuffer you just could use for it, shouldn't it ? Next I was about to ask for OSD support, but I guess it was already answered on another mail.. so this card has OSD support? How many colors or other limitations? Thanks a lot! This card looks like really interesting.. Yes the same i think - looks like NG FF card ;) - so who is starting to buy one ? ;) ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Your saying that it's a component signal, not composite nor s-video? And you can only have output on both if the You can have it all for 576i, for other resolutions it's only YUV. The DAC is a Focus FS453 with 4 analog outputs. Usually 3 of them are YUV and the remaining is composite. But you can switch the YUV to YC. driver is set to output 576p? Or are you saying you can have output on both, but only as 576i if the driver sets a mode for 576p on the HDMI output? There's always output on HDMI and YUV with the same resolution, except 576p.

Easiest would be , if there would be a framebuffer you just could use for it, shouldn't it ? There is a memory mapped framebuffer visible over PCI, we just have to write a driver for it. Then also X should be possible (@800*600, 32bit RGBA), but until then, consider this as a maybe and not a promised feature. The vdr-osd is currently done by message passing to a drawing daemon on the card itself. But for playing back unsupported formats, recoding to MPEG1 should be do-able, I haven't tried it. Also note that some unsupported or not mentioned formats may actually be supported by the chip and we just currently have no SW support for that (container parsing, etc.). There are people working on the universal media player part. But that's not my area, I can't comment on other supported formats than h.264 and MPEG2 (SD/HD) for now.
