Last weekend I have written a small program to set the alarm registers of the RTC, it worked fine, the interrupt was triggered exactly at the time set, but whenever I shut down the PC, the alarm registers were overwritten with the values in the BIOS (before the PC was switched off). Of course the reason for this could be my BIOS and it could behave differently with your BIOS. I could post this little program here (it's really just a few lines) and so everybody could try it out.

It is possible to connect a firewire interface to the chip, where TS can be put in and out, but its not connected on those cards. If someone is very good at soldering and knows what he is doing it might be possible to connect such an interface, but I don't know anyone who has tried that. Otherwise, if you wanted to feed directly you would have to modulate a DVB signal and feed it through the lnb connector.

I guess, this might be similar to the 'rtc.c' Chris send to me yesterday. I've tried that out and the behaviour was exactly as you described. Tested on my Gigabyte GA-71XE4 mainboard with (AMI) American Megatrends Bios. After browsing through '/usr/src/linux/drivers/char/rtc.c' (in 2.2.18-SuSE, if that matters) I believe setting the "resume by alarm"-Timer can't be done without modifying some kernel driver. However I still might be wrong. Another idea would be to modify the apm kernel driver: The documentation at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/ralf/pub/WWW/files.html mentioned earlier in this thread contains a pointer to the description of BIOS calls, that may be used to manipulate the timer: http://www.ctyme.com/intr/rb-1414.htm These BIOS calls belong to the Advanced Power Management v1.2 standard, so it might make some sense to add support for these to apm.c in the Linux kernel.

The following tiny program works for me, if i setup my BIOS to wake up "everyday". But a look at Ralf Brown's Interrupt List reveals, that every BIOS has its own register and methods for the "wake up" procedure. It should work for all Award 4.51P BIOS. #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #define RTC "/dev/rtc" int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { struct rtc_time t, t2; int fh, ioret; if( argc != 4 ) { printf("usage: rtc \n"); exit( EXIT_SUCCESS ); } t.tm_hour = atoi( argv[1] ); t.tm_min = atoi( argv[2] ); t.tm_sec = atoi( argv[3] ); fh = open(RTC, O_RDWR); if( fh < 0 ) perror("open /dev/rtc"); ioret = ioctl( fh, RTC_ALM_READ, &t2); printf("old alarm %02i:%02i:%02i\n", t2.tm_hour, t2.tm_min, t2.tm_sec); /* set alarm time */ ioret = ioctl( fh, RTC_ALM_SET, &t); ioret = ioctl( fh, RTC_ALM_READ, &t2); printf("new alarm %02i:%02i:%02i\n", t2.tm_hour, t2.tm_min, t2.tm_sec); close(fh); return EXIT_SUCCESS; } > I could post this little program here (it's really just a few lines) and so > everybody could try it out.

I've a dish oriented to Hotbird 13° East connected to my DVB-S card. My graphical card is Matrox G400 and I configured XWindows with 16bpp and after 32 bpp without success.

Aber daran scheint es auch nicht zu liegen, denn ich habe jetzt tatsächlich einen Teilerfolg erzielen können: Entschlüsseln funktioniert, wenn ich zuvor mit gVideo den entsprechenden Kanal angewählt habe, dann allerdings nur für diesen Kanal. Auch, wenn ich den CA-Eintrag auf 0 setzte und diesen Kanal danach erneut anwähle. Weiteres Umschalten, auf andere Free-TV-Progs oder andere verschlüsselte Progs ändert daran nichts. Es wird immernoch nur dieser eine Kanal entschlüsselt. Anscheinend wird beim Umschalten vergessen dem Cam mitzuteilen, daß sich der Kanal geändert hat. Anders kann ich mir ein solches Verhalten jedenfalls nicht erklären. Um nochmal kurz auf gVideo zurückzukommen: Die gVideo Version, die ich verwende ist die Version aus dem 0.7 Treiber. Denn die neuere Version aus dem 0.8.2 Treiber wirft beim umschalten auf jegliche Sender einiges an Fehlermeldungen raus: set_vpid: Bad file descriptor set_apid: Bad file descriptor set_ttpid: Bad file descriptor setfront sec: Bad file descriptor setfront front: Bad file descriptor qpsk ge event: Bad file descriptor set_tp stat: Bad file descriptor set_tp stat: Bad file descriptor Grüße, Jan --- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

If you use kernel < 2.2.11 upgarde to a later one. Please update your BIOS to the current version, or at the follwing line to the lilo prompt: boot: kernel hdx=c,h,s c = cylinder h = header s = sectors than the kernel should use the right geometry. -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Dieter Bloms (Dieter.Bloms@suse.de) -------------------------------------------------------------------- SuSE Linux Solutions AG, Tel: +49-911-74053653 Schanzaeckerstr. 10, Fax: +49-911-74053674 90443 Nuernberg, Email: Dieter.Bloms@suse.de Germany WWW: http://www.suse.de -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key fingerprint = C54E EAD2 784A 5402 C4E4 A58A 414A AEA1 9038 7583 --- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

Schau' mal, ob im 'channels.conf' der vorletzte Parameter die Nummer der Karte enthält, an die das CAM angeschlossen ist. Falls du _eine_ Karte hast, muß da '1' stehen. Für VDR 0.71 mußt du auch unbedingt Treiber 0.8.2 verwenden. Since this is an English speaking mailing list: Check if the next to last parameter in 'channels.conf' contains the number of the card that has the CAM attached. If you have _one_ card that parameter must be '1'. Also, you need to use driver version 0.8.2 with VDR 0.71.

Since this all works fine with my DVB-S card it would appear that the problem ist with the DVB-C channel setting in the driver. However, a quick look at DVB/driver/dvb.c showed no specific differences between DVB-S and DVB-C regarding the channel setting in case of CA channels. Is there anybody out there who is using driver 0.8.2, VDR 0.71 and a DVB-C card with CAM and _can_ receive encrypted channels?

Have a look at the results from the audio stream analysis. If there are only a few frames than mplex stumbled over a currupt frame. The easiets way to test if the audio stream is corrupted, is to use es_demux to get the audio ES and then use mpg123 to test, if the audio stream is ok. If the audio stream is not corrupted tell me, because then I have some work to do. Maybe this should also be put into the FAQ.

Hi, After some browsing through the READMEs and other information I found within the DVB and VDR directories and in the mailing list archive, I would like to verify my understanding: - there are two different APIs (application programmer interfaces) to access the DVB hardware. An older one, which is currently used by VDR and by the DVB/apps/gVideo application and a newer one, which is used by DVB/apps/tuxzap, tuxview and ntuxplayer. - Applications using the older API use the DVB devices exclusively, so that it is impossible to run VDR in parallel with for example tuxview. - If tuxview and vdr should run in parallel, vdr must be ported to the new API first. - Viewing VDR needs a TV connected to video output of a DVB-S card. Viewing on the computer monitor is currently no possible. Please correct me, if I'm wrong. I would also like to know, if anybody is already working on this and how hard this would be. Another (maybe newbie) question: Would the hardware allow to view the OSD (on screen display) overlay of VDR within a tuxview window?

The problem is that we currently don't have a separat osd device, so that vdr still needs to open /dev/video which would prevent tuxview from opening it. As soon as we have an osd device you could view all the osd output with tuxview.

Try vcdgear -mpg2mpg -fix infile.mpg outfile.mpg I have not tried vcdgear on MPEG2 yet, though. It may work on MPEG1 only. A program that has excellent error recovery is mtv, see http://www.mpegtv.com/download.html In my experience, you can give mtv any corrupted file that contains some MPEG data somewhere inside and mtv will find that payload and play it without a glitch. I used mtv on VCD track images, on corrupted MPEG files, etc. However, mtv only works on MPEG 1 and I do not know if source is available.

Well, I guess then that pretty much makes the use of mplex obsolete, doesn't it? My original recording was fine almost entirely, especialy there was no audio problem at the point where the mplex'ed file lost audio. After running it through mplex I lost almost all of the audio (not that this is an especially valuable recording, though). I'd say if there is a real glitch in the data stream, a program like mplex should take every effort to produce a correct output as soon as possible after the glitch (naturally, it can't repair the glitch itself, since there might be a major amount of data missing). Of course I'm aware that mplex is still work in progress, so this is not criticism, just some thoughts ;-) > Have a look at > the results from the audio stream analysis.

Here's what I get from es_demux: kls@video:/video/nano/2001-02-27.18:28.10.05.rec > ~/vdr/DVB/apps/mpegtools/es_demux 001.vdr.x x.x x.y Reading 001.vdr.x Opening x.x for audio Opening x.y for video VPTS - APTS = 0.2854s I don't know if this was a stupid thing to do, but when I did cat x.x > /dev/video0 (where x.x was the file from the es_demux call) the TV screen went black (no sound) and my machine totally locked up (interestingly it could still be ping'ed from another computer, but that's all). I had to do a reset to get it up and running again. Maybe the driver locks up when it receives certain unsuitable data? Well, whatever one sends to the driver, it should never lock up the entire system. If you'd like to take a look at the audio file produced by es_demux, I could make it available on our server. It is about 23 MB in size, but I guess the problematic area should be within the first few MBs, so I guess it would suffice if I upload, say, 2MB. Please let me know.

I > believe n-tv was one of them. Could it be something like that? This effects analog sat only. The frequencies of DECT phones and the frequency of n-tv on the coax between LNB and analog sat-receiver overlap: AFAIK this is at 1891 GHz. So if you place the DECT base station (BTW: is that the correct english term for "Basis Station"?) near an analog sat receiver, you might observe such periodic image distortions. But AFAI can see, n-tv digital is at 12669 GHz, which is than 2069 GHz on the coax.

I do have a DECT phone, but it makes no difference whether it is on or off (I even pulled the batteries out of the handsets to make absolutely sure they are off).

I wrote some time ago saying that I can't get working my DVB-s hauppauge card under Linux, and I must rewrite to punctuate that I STILL can't make it work, but I have some possible more hint (?) that may help you understan which is my problem. Sometimes, after I load the modules and succeed in seeing any kind of Satellite Channel (only Free ones for now, as I don't have the CIM), I start looking on the dvb0 device, and it seems to receive a lot of packets very quicly, I think for the EON Multicast services, so it seems that the card is correctly working even for networking, my next step is: How should I configure all to make it work correctly for unicast? I'm getting really Crazy, please Help me... Can you send me your dvbd.conf that you actually use to make EON connection?

No, and as far as I'm concerned I don't believe it will. VDR is designed to record specific broadcasts, not entire transponders.

However the question 2.07 is not correct. "2.07 Q: Can the Card output suround Sound over the SPDIF connector ? A: No the the Card can only output PCM Data " Dolby Surround sound is carried using two channels /stereo pair/, so the PCM SPDIF outputs Dolby Surround provided that the source material was encoded with.

Of course. I think it's good that VDR records specific broadcasts and I would not want to change that. What I meant is something else. Let's assume I have two cards and I programmed three overlapping recordings. If at least two of these recordings are on the same transponder, this can work with the budget card.

There are 2 more (and maybe risky) options with hdparm, which can improve the behaviour a lot: Blockmode and UnmaskIRQ. I now use "hdparm -d1m8u1 /dev/hda" and I can't notice any more differences in responsiveness. Before, the remote-control was very sloppy while fast-forwarding/fast-rewind. I might have another idea regarding remote-control: there are some nice compact PC-Keyboards with IR on the market. They may be bigger than a normal RC, but they have a few advantages one might consider useful: - no fiddling with additional software like LIRC, just compile VDR with REMOTE=KBD - no fiddling with home-brew-hardware, thus enabling the not-so-experienced user to built a VDR - VDR could be expanded to support normal keyboard-input, this could increase comfort in places where you can enter Text (timer/recordings-names) or even enable commands with input :-) Greetings, Marcus --- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

Which card are you using, the Siemens/Technotrend/Hauppauge with AV7110 or the TT-budget/WinTVNova? If it is the Siemens kind card I cannot do anything about it. The section parsing is partially done in hardware and partially in the part of the ARM firmware/application which comes as binary only from TI. I still would be interested in the exact filter settings. Did you apply the patch I posted a few days ago? (I did not check this into the 0.8 driver yet, because I got no response if this solved the problem for the other person). If it is the budget or Nova card the software filter might need adjustments.

I guess the other channels on the transponder were affected, too. After moving the base station a bit (it was right next to the computer), the problem disappeared. I can still see some distortions (not as bad as the original problem) when I move the phone to the back of the computer.

Both appear to be handled in dvb_demux.c:DvbDmxSWFilterSectionPacket. If you could confirm that this is a reasonable place to look, I'll try to do some debugging.

Yes, that is the right place to look. I have to admit that I did not test this very intensively but I also did not get much feedback on it yet.

I haven't tried it, but there is also a framebuffer driver in the kernel that would allow you to use the TV out from the console. Anyway, X11 works fine and has a good picture quality. You could also go without a graphics card and connect via network from a notebook/subnotebook. My favorite solution is connecting with an ipaq and a wavelan card, but that's a little expensive.

The documentation I have includes the description of library calls which handle the infrared hardware but it does not explain the involved data structures very well. There are entries for pulse lengths for the codes and pre-codes, etc. which is in fact all very similar to the LIRC remote descriptions but the exact meaning, used time units, etc. are not clear. There is another document they refer to for more detailed description but I do not have that. Ralph --- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

Mine (Loewe) reduces the RGB input so that the picture is not too bright. I called tech support and they said this is to avoid burn ins from a too high signal level. Sadly I cannot change that, so I use SVideo instead (which is more compatible to my other video devices as well) Be lucky that its too bright, you can reduce it with a set of resistors. I am not sure, but try something below 300 Ohm, best would be a set of 3 adj. pots to find out. There might be a pot on the TV chassis, but in many cases there´s just nothing.

All of these MUST be 75 Ohm! ============================ The DVB-s card delivers output signals with 1Vp-p@75Ohm. If your TV-set does´t have a termination the card delivers 2V-p-p. So your picture brightness is double an the TV does "clipping" at about 1,2Vp-p in the first stage. Picture control doesn´t help.

While investigating the driver source I saw lot of source code that assumes something of the hardware/firmware because no detailed specification is available for the public. This is not a good starting point if someone likes to develop some software for fun and not for commercial usage. Now I'm looking for a NOVA card that has no own processor and no "black box"-firmware. I'm hoping that getting the required information is easier with this card. Does anybody (Ralph?) know if there is some technical documentation available? Necessary input includes the information on how to initialize the different IC. How to access the TS? Do you think that investigating the Linux driver source code is enough to understand how the different hardware components work together?

So I loaded the official 0.8.2 driver again and immediately saw that n-tv didn't work (heavy picture distortions and audio dropouts). Loading VDR and switching to the ORF channels showed that they also didn't work (event heavier picture problems than with n-tv). I then reverted to the improved driver from the CVS and both n-tv and the ORF channels worked fine. In this configuration I then took my DECT handset (Siemens Gigaset 2015 plus) and held it very close to the VDR PC, moving it around the PC. There were no disturbances at all with Sat.1 and Pro7, which are said to be problematic with DECT. I don't know why I don't have DECT problems (maybe my cable is of better quality?), but I'm sure glad I don't have them ;-) The recent n-tv problem was definitely cured by the latest CVS driver version (DVB-0-8).

Could it be the 47E (is that 47 Ohm?) resistor between pin2(on TTboard) and pin16(scart), which is not correct? And am I correct NOT to connected pin1 (TTboard-composite out)? My picture is somewhat over-bright. What Ohm resistors (which range) could I put between the RGB lines. (YC doesn't work - it seems that my TV has no YC inputs - which looks a little odd to me) On the matter of setting the output of the TTboard: I know (form the faq at www.lindy.cc/dvb) to set in Linux. How to set in in Win98 (I also use this, with WinDVBLive2000, DVBsVCR, TTsoft, TPR etc.). There is a 'saa7146.ini' file in the c:\Windows folder, with the items: VideoSource=0 (I presume this is the 'outstream, default set to AV-PES) and VideoStandard=1 (I presume this the 'vidmode' setting, 1 default, meaning RGB and CVBS) When I edit this ini file and set the latter to 2 (or 3) ('Videostandard=2') I would think I would get YC output; (like setting 'vidmode=2' as parameter in the Linux driver), but no picture!

The documentation I have includes the description of library calls which handle the infrared hardware but it does not explain the involved data structures very well. There are entries for pulse lengths for the codes and pre-codes, etc. which is in fact all very similar to the LIRC remote descriptions but the exact meaning, used time units, etc. are not clear.

The newer CVS version of the driver will correctly initialize the board to give you sound and picture over SCART.

Mine (Loewe) reduces the RGB input so that the picture is not too bright. I called tech support and they said this is to avoid burn ins from a too high signal level. Sadly I cannot change that, so I use SVideo instead (which is more compatible to my other video devices as well) Be lucky that its too bright, you can reduce it with a set of resistors. I am not sure, but try something below 300 Ohm, best would be a set of 3 adj. pots to find out. There might be a pot on the TV chassis, but in many cases there´s just nothing.

I use FB in a resolution of 800*600. I am currently looking into the new MSI MS-6215. This PC contains the same as the one above and more. Especially interesting are the two Firewire ports which can be used to extent the storage with the Maxtor External Storage 80GB disks with Firewire interface.

While investigating the driver source I saw lot of source code that assumes something of the hardware/firmware because no detailed specification is available for the public. This is not a good starting point if someone likes to develop some software for fun and not for commercial usage. Now I'm looking for a NOVA card that has no own processor and no "black box"-firmware. I'm hoping that getting the required information is easier with this card. Does anybody (Ralph?) know if there is some technical documentation available? Necessary input includes the information on how to initialize the different IC. How to access the TS? Do you think that investigating the Linux driver source code is enough to understand how the different hardware components work together?

So I loaded the official 0.8.2 driver again and immediately saw that n-tv didn't work (heavy picture distortions and audio dropouts). Loading VDR and switching to the ORF channels showed that they also didn't work (event heavier picture problems than with n-tv). I then reverted to the improved driver from the CVS and both n-tv and the ORF channels worked fine. In this configuration I then took my DECT handset (Siemens Gigaset 2015 plus) and held it very close to the VDR PC, moving it around the PC. There were no disturbances at all with Sat.1 and Pro7, which are said to be problematic with DECT. I don't know why I don't have DECT problems (maybe my cable is of better quality?), but I'm sure glad I don't have them ;-) The recent n-tv problem was definitely cured by the latest CVS driver version (DVB-0-8).

Could it be the 47E (is that 47 Ohm?) resistor between pin2(on TTboard) and pin16(scart), which is not correct? And am I correct NOT to connected pin1 (TTboard-composite out)? My picture is somewhat over-bright. What Ohm resistors (which range) could I put between the RGB lines. (YC doesn't work - it seems that my TV has no YC inputs - which looks a little odd to me) On the matter of setting the output of the TTboard: I know (form the faq at www.lindy.cc/dvb) to set in Linux. How to set in in Win98 (I also use this, with WinDVBLive2000, DVBsVCR, TTsoft, TPR etc.). There is a 'saa7146.ini' file in the c:\Windows folder, with the items: VideoSource=0 (I presume this is the 'outstream, default set to AV-PES) and VideoStandard=1 (I presume this the 'vidmode' setting, 1 default, meaning RGB and CVBS) When I edit this ini file and set the latter to 2 (or 3) ('Videostandard=2') I would think I would get YC output; (like setting 'vidmode=2' as parameter in the Linux driver), but no picture!

But I assume this NetPC is just a bit to small to integrate all the necessary parts. :) I probably have the same problem with the MS-6215. One problem is that the DVB-S card is 20 cm long and the PCI slots with the hd cage installed allows only for 15 cm long cards. Maybe this can be overcome by placing the hd at the place of the floppy drive. As I don't need any floppy after the system is finally installed this should be ok. The slot for the CDROM/DVD-Drive can be used to place the CICAM slot for one of the two DVB-S cards installed. I just hope the 90 W of the power supply are enough for all this and the heat can be removed without to much noise. ;-) I am currently not absolutely sure if I should go this route or if I should take a normal desktop with enough space for 4 SAT cards and multiple 80 GB disks. As I have mentioned before I have to feed 3 different TVs independently. I thought I can achieve this with a kind of central server containing a total of 4 DVB-S cards and several 80 GB disks. (I have already a central service for this with seperate receivers and IR distribution.) Such a central server solution would be much more convenient and when not all TVs are in use the other cards can be used for time-shifting and concurrent recording. The access to one card with PW would also be much easier. But the problem here is that VDR isn't prepared to handle multiple concurrent users at different DVB-S cards yet. On the otherside such a compact system is also very nice and if it runs properly can be replicated very easy. :) Emil --- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

I got a 90cm dish, its well aligned and the sky is beautiful :-) Windoze Hauppauge Tools show me a high and good signal level. An alignment problem would not cause such kind of artifacts I think. Either you have a picture, or just blocks. Channels with less than 4MBit are of course worse, but even on such with over 5MBit I see mpeg compression. Too much for that data rate, I hope they don´t broadcast that way. Otherwise I would have expected more from Sat TV. I do not expect to have a DVD picture, but I want to get rid of my normal video recorder, SVHS is not as sharp, but the overall impresssion is still better. Sadly I don´t have an analog receiver (yet). Its my first time with Sat TV Can´t it be that the card does a not so well decoding ? Has the driver for the card influence about picture quality or does it not affect it ? thx Tobias --- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

You can test that yourself. Record a short sequence with vdr or "cat /dev/video > test.mpg" and play it back with your favorit DVD(MPEG2)- Player (btw: for Linux "mplayer" does a good job on playing back DVB files after they are multiplexed with "mplex").

Thanks for the tip, but that was not the problem. gVideo itself works fine when being used with bttv. This must be an issue between gVideo and the dvb driver (or something with the kernel).

DMX_OUT_DECODER is clear and not applicable to my budget card DMX_OUT_TS_TAP is clear and I have been able to collect filtered packets from /dev/dvr. DMX_OUT_TAP is not clear. The documentation suggests that it is just the payload data, without ts headers, etc. However, it's not clear from which device one collects the output nor the format of the stream. If it is just the payload data, what happens to the PTS info in the adaptation field? I tried to experiment by changing DMX_OUT_TS_TAP to DMX_OUT_TAP in my earlier working test, my machine just hangs. I'm not sure if something is broken or I'm just misusing the api. My goal is to forward a PES (or whatever makes the most sense) stream to an external decoder. Am I going in the right direction? I've been trying to read 13818-1.

Last week I built this incarnation of a Linux-VDR and was quite happy with it. I made instant recordings and timed recordings and all went well. Yesterday all recordings (whether instant or timed) a showing the same thing: after it first has a few dropouts, the sound goes completely away within the first minute or shortly after it. I did not change anything I am aware of instead of fiddling with "hdparm." But I went back to a configuration which worked earlier. The phenomenon is there, whether I use vdr to initiate a recording or just use "cat /dev/video > file", so it obviously hasn't anything to do with vdr. I rebooted to make sure I'm not in an undefined state of the DVB-driver. Same thing. To my understanding it can't be a matter of troughput (allthough I had problems with the responsiveness of lirc - which are solved by hdparm) because the picture is mostly fine, some glitches like block-patterns, though, from time to time. If I would ask me, I'd be ready to point to the hardware if it wouldn't be that the sound is just fine while watching TV "live". What do you think? Thanks for your help in advance.

I have seen similar symptoms in some recordings, but not all: The picture is perfect, but the sound has a lot of dropouts or goes away entirely sometimes. I have not yet figured out a system behind it, because I have a lot of recordings and I sometimes watch them weeks after recording them. Klaus has reported a while ago that he was experiencing sound dropouts on channels with high bit rates, such as ARD. It may have to do with the temperature of the card. Have you tried cooling it? It may have something to do with your disk throughput. Did you see any changes in the sound dropouts when you changed hdparm settings? Or with the signal quality of your dish. Are you seeing perfect quality with an anlog receiver? It may also be a firmware or driver problem that is triggered by certain data or at certain data rates.

Hello ppl. Thank to everyone that is related to DVB (either working or not for it). I have problems using my Skystar 1 card & EON with linux. So,let's begin: a)I have downloaded siemens dvb version 0.8.2. I'm using slackware (rulez:) 7.1 w/ 2.4.2 kernel. After decompressing the file and doing all the steps that required,everything is just fine.No errors.After running make insmod the driver is initialized and i hear audio from some satellite channel(i hope this is a normal situation,or what?) Nevertheless the dvb0 is created but only when i make "make insmod" Shouldn't it create the device every time that i boot the system? Do i have to insmod it ? If yes how can i do it?(I never learnt about modules,i think it's the right time;) I tried to load them via rc.local but i get some errors despite the fact that i2c-core.o: i2c core module Linux video capture interface: v1.00 video_dev: unable to get major 81 saa7146_core.o: saa7146(1): bus:0, rev:1, mem:0xc883c000. VES1893: attaching VES1893 at 0x10 to adapter saa7146(1) tuner: chip found @ 0x61 The fact is that if i "make isnmod" it will create dvb0 and everything will work fine but i don't think that this is a solution. 2)videodev.o: init_module: Input/output error How can i create the /dev/video device? Do i have to create mknod? 3)Let's suppose that i don't care about video and want to use the driver only for data via EON. I have also downloaded dvbd2.tar.gz and dvbrouter.tar.gz. What is going on with those files? I realised that dvbd2.tar.gz is a daemon but after stracing it i also release that it tries to find /dev/video which i don't have created and so it exits,without reporting any error. I think that if i solve the /dev/video problem the error will be reduced. The dvbrouter.tar.gz is used for data or what? 4)Finally, if someone help me and solve the problems and everything will work just fine,how can i use linux w/ EON in order to download via it.I don't want to use squid or any proxy. Do i have to play with the routing table? Please give me all the necessary details. Well (yeah) that's all.Thx in advance,sorry for so much question and take care :) --- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

With DMX_OUT_TAP you get PES packets for one ES. You read from the same device on which you issued the DMX_SET_PES_FILTER ioctl. DMX_OUT_TS_TAP remuxes the PES packets selected by multiple DMX_SET_PES_FILTER ioctls into one new TS, which you read from the logical dvr device. A budget card w/o hardware demuxer may also allow you to get the full, unfiltered TS. But I don't know details on how this is handled by the API. > My goal is to forward a PES (or whatever makes the most sense) stream to > an external decoder. Am I going in the right direction?

The first is the output from the startup, the second the output from trying to start=20 "gVideo -d /dev/video0" and the output when trying to remove the modules again (which fails). the lsmod after using gVideo and before trying to remove the modules looks like this: [root@linux driver]# lsmod Module Size Used by msp3400 13328 0 (unused) tuner 3952 0 (unused) dvb 2960336 -1 (unused) dvb_demux 5248 0 [dvb] dmxdev 5952 0 [dvb] VES1820 3536 0 (unused) VES1893 3712 0 (unused) saa7146_v4l 16496 0 (unused) saa7146_core 14432 0 [dvb saa7146_v4l] videodev 4576 2 [dvb] i2c-core 10448 0 [msp3400 tuner dvb VES1820 VES1893 saa714= 6_cor e] ca 896 0 (unused) frontend 976 0 (unused) sec 912 0 (unused) audio 1152 0 (unused) video 1056 0 (unused) dmx 1104 0 (unused) demux 608 1 [dvb dvb_demux] dvbdev 1648 1 [dvb dvb_demux VES1820 VES1893 ca fronten= d sec audio video dmx] Config: Kernel 2.4.1-22mdk, Driver Version 0.8.2, XFree 4.0.2, Siemens DVB-S card, no CIM As you see after the crash the module has a use count of "-1" and I cannot bring it to remove itself (no specific info in the log why this does not work). Another issue I don't know if it has been discussed before: Usually I prefer using modules.conf (or with 2.4.x modules.devfs) for loading modules when needed, f.e. bttv works perfectly: #alias /dev/v4l bttv #post-install bttv ln -sf /dev/video0 /dev/video #post-install bttv ln -sf /dev/vbi0 /dev/vbi #alias /dev/v4l dvb Replacing "bttv" by "dvb" does not work in this case (several modules were missing when I tried it), so there seem to be dependency issues with the modules. Also I have currently no idea how to deal with an analogue tv card (for framegrabbing) and the dvb at the same time. As /dev/v4l does only exist one time I don't know how to decide which driver should be loaded. Summary: It works partially, after having started the driver, at least I hear some sound, probably the default channel is tuned as well (I currently have no way to test this). Every program I've tried so far fails to start (gVideo, xawtv, tuxview). All of them worked on my system with 2.2.17 kernel and 0.61 driver (and my bttv card works fine with at least gVideo and xawtv) (0.7 driver were not tested by me, too much work on other things...).

From suamor@gmx.net Wed Aug 1 13:02:56 2001 Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2001 16:45:48 +0100 From: Reinhard Katzmann To: Linux DVB ML Subject: [linux-dvb] Help: Driver 0.8.2 /Kernel 2.4.1 Problems (Info) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi DVB-Freaks! I have not yet managed to solve the driver problems. I added debug options to my /etc/init.d file but saw no obvious problems. I've added two attachments with debugging output from the dvb and i2c_core (debug level 1) modules output. The first is the output from the startup, the second the output from trying to start=20 "gVideo -d /dev/video0" and the output when trying to remove the modules again (which fails). the lsmod after using gVideo and before trying to remove the modules looks like this: [root@linux driver]# lsmod Module Size Used by msp3400 13328 0 (unused) tuner 3952 0 (unused) dvb 2960336 -1 (unused) dvb_demux 5248 0 [dvb] dmxdev 5952 0 [dvb] VES1820 3536 0 (unused) VES1893 3712 0 (unused) saa7146_v4l 16496 0 (unused) saa7146_core 14432 0 [dvb saa7146_v4l] videodev 4576 2 [dvb] i2c-core 10448 0 [msp3400 tuner dvb VES1820 VES1893 saa714= 6_cor e] ca 896 0 (unused) frontend 976 0 (unused) sec 912 0 (unused) audio 1152 0 (unused) video 1056 0 (unused) dmx 1104 0 (unused) demux 608 1 [dvb dvb_demux] dvbdev 1648 1 [dvb dvb_demux VES1820 VES1893 ca fronten= d sec audio video dmx] Config: Kernel 2.4.1-22mdk, Driver Version 0.8.2, XFree 4.0.2, Siemens DVB-S card, no CIM As you see after the crash the module has a use count of "-1" and I cannot bring it to remove itself (no specific info in the log why this does not work). Another issue I don't know if it has been discussed before: Usually I prefer using modules.conf (or with 2.4.x modules.devfs) for loading modules when needed, f.e. bttv works perfectly: #alias /dev/v4l bttv #post-install bttv ln -sf /dev/video0 /dev/video #post-install bttv ln -sf /dev/vbi0 /dev/vbi #alias /dev/v4l dvb Replacing "bttv" by "dvb" does not work in this case (several modules were missing when I tried it), so there seem to be dependency issues with the modules. Also I have currently no idea how to deal with an analogue tv card (for framegrabbing) and the dvb at the same time. As /dev/v4l does only exist one time I don't know how to decide which driver should be loaded. Summary: It works partially, after having started the driver, at least I hear some sound, probably the default channel is tuned as well (I currently have no way to test this). Every program I've tried so far fails to start (gVideo, xawtv, tuxview). All of them worked on my system with 2.2.17 kernel and 0.61 driver (and my bttv card works fine with at least gVideo and xawtv) (0.7 driver were not tested by me, too much work on other things...). Any help would be appreciated.

Which is the amount of memory that the Siemens board reserves to manage the OSD? This parameter is an useful information in order to call the OSD_Open primitive with the best parameters (resolution vs BitPerPixel). regards.

No. I think Ralph mentioned in a recent post that he has got almost no feedback on his driver port to the budget/Nova card, so I guess nobody is using it with VDR. :-( > Are there no problems of vdr using the old api while controlling the > software filters assumingly is done with the new api? > > Additional question: Are there any problems with (audio/video) > dropouts/dirstortions, or would i really get the same quality in all > recordings as when watching TV directly via DVB? I am already seeing frequent audio distortions and (very rare) video distortions with my current DVB-S card.

Here are the answers to your questions: Yes, I do see perfect signal quality with an analog receiver. I even do see perfect quality (that goes all for picture and sound) when just watching TV with the DVB-s-card and seems so strange to me. Just the recordings have dropouts and fading sound. So the signal quality of the dish should be ok. And remember, all went well a few days ago. For the certain data rates. I observed the problem while recording different channels, like ARD and VIVA or Pro7. I even calculated the approximate average data rate. I was almost always below 500 kByte/s, just VIVA went up to 600 kByte/s. But thats average. Should be a meaningful value, though. There we are at the trouhput off the disk subsystem. hdparm is reporting an unbuffered transfer of approx. 12 MByte/s and buffered around 60 MByte/s after optimizing the parameters. Even with this disk unoptimized (unbuffered transfer of around 2 MByte/s) I was able to make perfect recordings a few days ago. That leaves the temperature and that could very well be. I'll check into that and let you know. Alas, I can't leave the case open because my little children are around. So, we'll see.

Hi, I'm thinking about building such VDR system. Currently we (my family) use VIDEOTEXT heavily. AFAIK VIDEOTEXT is currently not supported by VDR. At the moment we've a simple analog receiver and use the Sony TV for decoding the VIDETEXT. This has some disadvantages. If the channel is switch, and I looked at page 101 on the old channel the new channel also shows the old contents of page 101. I have to switch to page 102 and back to 101 to force a reload. Most of the times I have to wait till a Page is loaded. I can imaging of a system where the pages are stored on disk and displayed immediately. Is/will this be possible? I also read about additional features of digital broadcasting. The Broadcasting Companies are talking about Info channels with actual news, weather forcast, etc. I'm not shure if these can be seen by VDR? Or is for that "Open TV" needed? Next question whould be, is it possible to set up an "easy of use" internet access for browsing/email. All should be usable by my whole family (icluding my parents and my children, but the children are the smaller issue). So the most important point is "easy of use". So should I invest in a PC with VDR (and maybe a infrared keyboard) or buy a commercial hard disk receiver?

We have a testbench containing an encoder, a modulator and a pair of receivers and I tought it would be nifty if I could get a PC with a Hauppauge DVB-S card into the picture as well (or rather get the picture out of the PC :). However, the testbench is closed, i e the receivers are connected to a L-band port on the modulator producing a signal at 1270 MHz, which to me seems a lot different than the frequencies normally used by LNBs. Having messed about with LNB definitions and various frequencies for a while I'm at a dead end. The best I could acheive was getting the OCD of Linux-VDR on the display but as video (psychadelic Winamp-output-modules fed into the encoder by another PC) all I get is a black nothing. Being a more or less agile system analyst I decided to attack the problem using a program that I've written myself (thus, gaining higher probability of understanding what is going on). Needless to say, it did not help. It seems like the signal that, using the same set of cables, reach the regular receivers simply dislikes my Hauppauge DVB-S. Anyone got any clues about what I could try next? Best regards, Tomas Hübner --- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to listar@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.

I thought of one recording mainly, but that`s a good point. What data-rate can the interface of the budget card do? I have the DVB-S, and I´m seeing these distortions too. Video got much better, but i have heavy audio dropout (as mentiond by others before).

I'm not sure if that would change anything - unless the budget card delivers a better muxed stream. But then again, it's the same driver, so I guess there would be no difference.

With the current version of the driver and VDR teletext is re-inserted into the video output, so you should be able to use TT just like you did with the analog receiver. I believe somebody is working on making TT available directly inside VDR, but right now there is no such feature yet. > I also read about additional features of digital broadcasting.

Right - you don´t save money if you buy the components for VDR - but the VDR is much mor flexible - you can use it with 1 or 2 or 3 DVB-S cards - you can watch EPG-DATA, set unlimited Timer - use MASTER-TIMER to devifine Keywords - and the VDR records automaticaly what you want - and all this is just the beginning - ...

But then again, it's the same driver, so I guess > there would be no difference. > About muxing: The problem with the bad muxing is twofold. First, there is the problem that the DVB-s card can't put out the original transport stream. The data you get from the card is taken/snatched from the buffers of the MPEG decoder. They consist of a video and an audio buffer and a list of PTSs. The driver waits until the data for one PTS is complete in the buffer and than copies the data quickly before the decoder "takes" it away. The data in the video buffer is pure ES and in the audio buufer its PES. That's why the AV_PES format has this strange arrangement. After that we put the data into PES packets and add some PS headers. There is not much checking for good muxing possible this way. The new API requires that TS packets can be read from the dvr device, so we also generate a TS from the "AV_PES" data. Since we don't know the original TS the muxing is equally bad. The second problem is that a well muxed TS can contain PES which, if written in the order of appearance can be badly muxed in a PS. Thus, a PS created from a TS recorded from the budget card (remember the budget card gives you the original TS from the broadcaster) can still be vadly muxed. That's why the linux dvb api uses TS for the dvr device, since that is the "natural" format. Everything else has to be processed which can't always be done in realtime and/or a pipe. A good example for a bad PS resulting from a good TS is the ARD or ZDF broadcast. Unfortunately, they are sending video PES that are longer than 65536 bytes (i.e. the maximum length for a PES in PS). This is no problem in a TS (its allowed in the specs), but if you imagine something like this: A1 V1V1V1V1V1 A2 V1V1V1V1V1 A3 V2V2V2V2V2 A4 V2V2V2V2V2 where Ax and Vx are TS packets belonging to the xth PES packet. You would get following order for the PES. A1 A2 V1 A3 A4 V2 Now you see that some data of V1 that in the TS came before A2 now comes after A2. This means its too late and you can get a video buffer underflow. This could also be the other way around and cause an audio buffer underflow. The only way to fix that is to separate the to streams complete (i.e. demux into ES) and than mux them completely new. The only information you may be able to use is the starting time of the streams to get proper av sync. That's what I do in my version of mplex, where demux the streams, take the starting PTS and then put it into the muxing routines of the mplex program from bbmpeg. I hope that clears up the matter. Since I don't want to type all that again, we should probably put that into the FAQ.

The problem that I see with VDR is that first recording the "bad" stream and then processing the entire file(s) would make time shifting impossible. What we need is a function that does the remuxing "on-the-fly". It need not necessarily do this in the driver itself (although that would, of course, be preferred ;-), but might as well run as part of VDR. I am currently rewriting VDR's ring-buffer so that it will be served by two separate threads, one writing the data that comes from the driver into it, and the other one reading the data from the buffer and writing it to the disk. That second thread could send the data through a filter, which could rearrange the data before it is written to disk. Do you think you could modify 'mplex' to work as a filter? It would also have to work fast enough to make sure it isn't overrun by the incoming data. The idea would be that the buffer-readout thread offers the filter a chunk of data, and the filter returns part or all of that data in a rearranged form. Any data it hasn't used up will be offered again in the next call.

It didn't work too well. The reasons may be that I used an old version of bbmpeg to learn how remuxing is done. More precisely how PTSs are calculated. After I couldn't get remux to work I started with mplex and got that to work first, so that I had something to check against. Since then I didn't get back to working on remux. I'll have to see when I get to that. If anybody with more remuxing experience wants to give it a try you are welcome to do so. All the main parts are already there. I demux the stream into 2 separate buffers. I mark the beginning of each frame with a PTS and I can retrieve the data from the buffers.

Now the bootscripts are in /etc/init.d/ instead of /sbin/init.d The links for the runlevels are created automaticly (running SuSEconfig or insserv). You have to define the required start and stop services in your initscript to make sure the links were made in the right order. A good startpoint is the file /etc/init.d/skeleton.

Sorry, but the current IP/MPE support runs on top of the old DVB API and the TT-Budget/Nova driver part does not support this.

Just as an experiment, I have made the attached tiny modification to vdr 0.71, which allows me to play one hardcoded MP3 file by selecting a new item in VDRs main menu. What I would like to implement (unless anyone else is already working on this) is: * A main menu item "MP3 play lists" that brings up a sub menu similar to the Recordings menu with a bunch of play lists - maybe from a predefined directory such as "/video/mp3_play_lists". The play lists are simple ASCII files that contain one MP3 file path per line. * Pressing OK with the cursor over a play list file name starts playing files from that play list. The last 39 characters of the current path name (and maybe some additional info) will be displayed in the OSD. Pressing OK skips the rest of this file and starts playing the next file. Pressing Back stops playing this play list and goes back to the "list of play lists" menu. It is unlikely that I will have time to implement more than the above features, but any hints or thoughts are of course welcome.

I found other ALF/AOF tools before but they did no conversion and usually only work with little-endian. The ARM7TDMI on the AV7110 is running in big-endian mode.

I can tell you almost everything about the Linux driver sources. But please first read the available documentation. I will not put in comments on obvious things like: GPIO - General Purpose I/O which almost every PCI bridge has some of or acronyms directly from the SAA7146 datasheet: DEBI - Data Expansion Bus Interface fidbirq - Field ID B IRQ and TTB=Technotrend-Budget (duhh ...)

If the card is one of those which look exactly like the Siemens or Technotrend cards but are missing the audio DAC and the SDRAM, then, no, it is not and will not be supported by the Linux driver.

It needs to contain the line #define VID_PLAY_CLEAR_BUFFER 15 I believe there's also a videodev.h in the kernel sources, maybe somehow you are getting that one.

The only real documents regarding the Linux driver which are under NDA are the ones for the VLSI chips. The other "documentation" was only Windows driver source code. Since this is converted and under GPL this part of the Siemens "documentation" already is superfluous. The meanings of the important registers in the VLSI chips should be clear from the existing drivers. For the firmware our only documentation also was just the source code. Later we got the documents for the TI library, but this of course only describes the calls to the library, not the other code which is using it. Sorry, there is no "explain it all in easy little steps" documentation we got hidden somewhere. I wished there were.

I assume he wants to use the digital output of the DVB card, too. I don't know if you can feed an MP3 stream into the MPEG2 decoder of the card, probably not. So you may have to convert the MP3 stream to MPEG2 audio first. I am looking for a similar solution. An integration of MPEG2 music videos and MP3+videostream would be really nice. A kind of music video jukebox with a handling like MusicMatch. Where a video is available to the sound you play the video.

(System clock works fine) hi ulrich! same with me, but the time difference is plus 2 hours. what i also wrote was, that i can.t change the setting for "set system time". my keys are configured correctly, (i can change all other values), and if i look into the "setup.conf" file, the values for "set system time" = 30. that.s strange isn.t it?? the system time doesn.t update to the time sent by the channels, as long as i don.t go to the setup menu and press "ok" when "set system time" is highlighted, and wait for about 30 seconds for the system time to be updated. i.m using kde - no suse7.1, and also can.t find the file where the timezone is to be changed. pls help someone... :) servus hannes!

Yes, this is very good! This is the starting point for a real multi-user Video/Audio server. I finally would like to use a blown up server to support at least 3 independend TVs connected to 3 DVB cards with independend OSDs and remote control. So video/audio directly from the DVB card is a requirement. A 4th DVB card with PW can be shared by all. I may even add one more card for time-shifting. [BTW, does the DVB driver support interrupt sharing on the PCI bus? ] Additionally kvdr will be used to feed a video projector with the best quality image possible. > > My VDR PC is in the living room and I use it via the > remote control and the OSD. I'm still in the state of investigation of components. I first started with multiple LPX sized boxes sharing datastore with Firewire/100BT.

Are you sure? I don't recall any feature like that... The "SetSystemTime" flag in VDR's 'setup.conf' is either '0' or '1' (it's actually a boolean flag) and controls whether the time shall be taken from the data stream. There is no time zone mechanism behind this.

Well, under Linux (and any Unix, for that matter), you usually have the system clock running with GMT (aka UTC) and set the time zone correctly. That way the underlying time is always the same, no matter where your machine is located and independent from daylight saving time. So if a transponder delivers "the time", you can easily synchronize your machine to that time (provided the transponder really delivers a "good" time - many transponders are off by some seconds, or even several minutes). "Local time" will be calculated from the system time and displayed accordingly. I strongly suggest you set your system time to be GMT and set the correct time zone. That way you shouldn't have any trouble.

I had a similar problem, but I don't remember the error messages. Waht version of the libc6 package are you using? I know 2.2.2-1 gave me the errors. After downgrading to version 2.2.1-1 vdr compiled again. The problem are all the dependencies on the new libc6 version in the newer packages. Most of them work with the older one, but apt (or dpkg) gives you a lot of dependency errors. (I haven't found one that does not work althoug I downgraded all packages that are made from the libc6 tarball (libc6-dev, libc6, libc6-i586, locales and nscd I think)) But if you try this, remember fiddling with libc can render your system unusable.

I'm not (yet) using the 0-9 driver (still have to switch to kernel 2.4). I'm not sure if the 0-9 driver still supports the "old" API, or whether they have already dropped parts or all of it.

This weekend I have re-written the cRingBuffer to run with two separate threads (one for getting the data from the video device and another one to write that data to disk). That second thread shall also perfom remultiplexing to produce an "clean" recording. The remultiplexing part is what I am currently working on, using the 'avpes2mgep' program (posted in this list by Martin Schaller in august last year) as a starting point. All this will be done with driver version 0.8.2. Once the remultiplexing is implemented I shall upgrade my system to SuSE 7.1 (kernel 2.4), and then I will be able to adapt VDR to driver version 0.9.x. Since this is probably a major modification (switching from the old API to the new one) I'd like to finish the remultiplexing part first and have a stable VDR version 0.72 based on driver version 0.8.2. So, the bottom line is: at the moment VDR is not yet capable of running with driver 0.9.x.

Seca is working (but hangs sometimes after switching programs and reloading ARM firmware helps) Conax is not working at all. I think there is some common problems in ARM firmware, because I can't see FTA channels to with Conax CAM inserted. CAM is OK it works perfect with my Nokia. Has anybody experiences with Conax?

The ETSI docs clearly state what has to be there in what format and in which frequency the information should be broadcasted. Unfortunately the implementation varies by channel. So if you have wrong time information, wrong program information etc. Don't worry, just wait, in most cases it will go away over time. Regarding time formats: The data from the satellite is UTC. The routines that receive the time information convert that to your locale's time zone whatever your system is on and set that. Time does not get set into the hardware clock. If you reboot, you will see the time that is stored in your hardware clock until vdr comes up and resets a newly received time from the satellite.

I don't have any experience with the dvb modules (not yet ;-)), but the modules are loaded automaticly if one process accesses the device. After you edit the /etc/modules.conf, you have to run depmod -a. Now if a process accesses the devices the kernel tries to load the module and if it fails you can see a message in /var/log/message where the kernel has searched the module. I think in /lib/modules/2.4.0/misc. You say it is ok when you start the dvb-driver manually, you can start the dvb-driver automaticly as describe befor.
