[linux-dvb] getting no data from dvr0

[Jakob Steidl <jakob.steidl@liwest.at>]

Hi there,

I managed to scan for tv-channels an so, but
when trying to watch TV with MPlayer, the MPlayer's buffer wont fill up.

on one terminal, i have ./czap running:
ventura szap # ./czap -n 144
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
reading channels from file '/root/.czap/channels.conf'
144 RTL2:506000000:INVERSION_AUTO:6900000:FEC_AUTO:QAM_64:166:128:12020
144 RTL2: f 506000000, s 6900000, i 2, fec 9, qam 3, v 0xa6, a 0x80
status 03 | signal 7272 | snr eded | ber 00195000 | unc ffffffff |
status 1f | signal 7373 | snr eeee | ber 00195000 | unc ffffffff |
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 7373 | snr f1f1 | ber 00195000 | unc 00000000 |
FE_HAS_LOCK
--------------------

and while czap is running MPlayer gives me:
ventura dvb-kernel # mplayer -cache 64 - < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
MPlayer 1.0pre4-3.3.4 (C) 2000-2004 MPlayer Team

--------------------

also this seems very strange:
ventura MPlayer-1.0pre4 # cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > ./test.mpg

ventura MPlayer-1.0pre4 # ls -l test.mpg
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 0 Okt 29 17:07 test.mpg
--------------------


I use the Cinergy1200 with the CVS drivers and the 2.6.9-rc2 kernel


Is that normal?


greetings, Jakob
