We are working on that and I hope that the next version of the driver will not externally deal with PVA files anymore (besides backwards compatibility for playback). To make it a little clearer what is going on I will explain in a little more detail what goes on and what the problems are. Since the data sheet is public now I am not telling anything secret. The DVB card does not provide any direct access to the transport stream. There is a so called "high speed data interface" on the TMS320AV7110 where selected TS packets could be sent to other hardware but this is not used on the card. Other hardware using the AV7110 might be using it. The firmware (or rather the "ARM application" which is loaded at driver installation time, the actual firmware of the AV7110 is in on-chip ROM) only has access to the actual payload of the TS, i.e. either sections or PES. The adaptation field cannot be accessed (actually the private data field can be but not the others containing the PCR). So, the full timing information is not available to the ARM application, only to the MPEG2 decoder. Recording/Playback is implemented by directly reading/writing the data from/to the internal buffers of the MPEG2 decoder The decoder keeps video as ES plus a PTS buffer and audio as PES packets. Concerning the PVA or AV_PES format: The interface between AV7110 and SAA71146 is a dual ported 8KB RAM of which 6KB are usually used for data transfers. Now, if you have a video ES stream which can be longer than 6KB between new PTS values, how do you push them through a 6KB buffer? You write X<=6KB bytes at a time and add a header which specifies X, maybe some flags which tell if it is video or audio and when a PTS comes and a mechanism to get 4 byte alignment (DMA transfers of the SAA7146 are 4 byte aligned). Add "AV" at the start and a continuity counter and you have a PVA file which can be fed right back through the dual ported RAM to the card for playback. It´s really the simplest format which accomplishes all this. So, now you are stuck with video ES+PTS and audio PES. If you know a good way to reconstruct the PCR from just the PTS of those 2 streams and make a complete transport or program stream out of them please let me know. Producing a PES stream (only video + audio PES, no program headers) which can be played back with the DVB card is no problem. We might use this or a transport stream without PCR in the adaptation field as the next step in development. But this stream won´t work with most other software or hardware DVD players.

If this means that reading /dev/video would no longer deliver AV_PES packets, this would immediately break 'vdr' :-( Scanning the AV_PES packets to see which is video and which is audio, and how long they are, is probably a lot easier than scanning actual MPEG2. So I'd vote for having at least the option of getting the packets the way we get them now.

What we need is to detect the beginning of each video frame and audio data block. There is already quite a bit of code in vdr to detect the frame type, but detecting the audio data would still have to be implemented. Well, let's see what the driver developers come up with.

I'm also willing to do it myself, if somebody could point me in > the right direction... I would be nice to have a good channel scan feature. For the time being, I have implemented the following workaround: * I am doing a complete channel scan using my D-box and it's excellent DVB2000 firmware. * I'm reading that table (362 TV channels on Astra) out of the d-box and export the results to an ASCII file. * I wrote a tiny filter program that converts this ASCII file into the channels.conf format for Klaus' vdr. Klaus and I are currently discussing various options that range from "a full channel scan in vdr" via "a simple scan that deactivates channels in an existing list when they cannot currently be received" to "manually editing the channels.conf created by the above procedure". I'm attaching a channels.conf file that I created via the above procedure a few weeks ago. I have not tried it yet, so use it with caution. It should contain at least some useful information if your dish is pointed at 19.2o East. Carsten.

I'm also willing to do it myself, if somebody could point me in > the right direction... I would be nice to have a good channel scan feature. For the time being, I have implemented the following workaround: * I am doing a complete channel scan using my D-box and it's excellent DVB2000 firmware. * I'm reading that table (362 TV channels on Astra) out of the d-box and export the results to an ASCII file. * I wrote a tiny filter program that converts this ASCII file into the channels.conf format for Klaus' vdr. Klaus and I are currently discussing various options that range from "a full channel scan in vdr" via "a simple scan that deactivates channels in an existing list when they cannot currently be received" to "manually editing the channels.conf created by the above procedure". I'm attaching a channels.conf file that I created via the above procedure a few weeks ago. I have not tried it yet, so use it with caution. It should contain at least some useful information if your dish is pointed at 19.2o East. Carsten.

At the place I bought (http://www.satshop.com) the card they guided me in getting a new CI card because the cable cannot be replaced. I hope its not true because that will mean 250 DM more.

I`m very happy to have found this mailing list and did dig into the archive for quite long time yesterday. Thanks to all you folk, especially Ralph and Klaus. I`d like to support siemens since they support linux, but I can`t find a shop in munich that sells one (hints very welcome!). Ordering would be possible, but I really would like to start next weekend. Hauppauge would be available and as far as I understood that would be fine with the driver currently!? But what with possible future features (eg. simultanious record/playback)? It sounded like some poeple do very low level programming here. How far does compatibility go? Another question: As far as I see, data rate is about 3-5 Mbit/s. That would be about 20 hours on 40 GByte. Am I right? Commercially availible DVR do have some means to select quality, usually in three levels equivalent to DVD, VHS, VHS-LP. Does anybody know how they do this? They don`t decode/code I guess. How can a MPEG2 stream be further compressed in realtime? Does anybody do this here? Does the card have hardware support on this? What about recoding afterwords? Does anybody have a bigger archive in lower quality? Degradation surly looks diffrent than with analog LP. What amount of lower quality video is realistic on 40GB? I hope to get a card soon, and (as far as time allows ;-) contribute to the software, even if it sounds very promising already.

You have to write support into the firmware to forward the IR events to the driver. This was removed from the firmware sources I got.

Making a dvbrc file with a transponder scan is a pain (another mail with this one is coming)... Somehow, I got all the 799 channels on Hotbird and their SIDs.

I tried to use the stest program in libdvb to scan trough all the frequencies on Hotbird and get all the transponders/channels available. The problem: Outcommand Error 1 Reproducible: Yes, 100% on a whole scan. Not always on the same freq. Method: I start scanning from 10700MHz up to 12800MHz on Hotbird. It seems that particular frequencies are lethal to the arm code (I guess). 11919MHz is an example. The whole thing stops responging and the driver starts printing the outcommand errors. A reload will fix it. I had before seen this problem, and tough it was due to faulty hardware. However the problem was verified now on a Hauppauge and a Technotrend card, with and without a common interface attached. It seems something related to the tuning code of the firmware. AFC=1 makes the problem worse. The problem will not occur when scanning "good" TP frequencies (i.e. with good signal), only when scanning trough *all* freq (including freq. with lots of noise etc). I'm willing ot debug this, but I guess it's in the ARM firmware. Is it possible to download an updated firmware? Any hints? Plamen.

One more thing No, the CI handling is present in the firmware. (Other parts were missing.) Don´t use the Windows firmware since it is missing bugfixes and other features (like NTSC support, pan/scan mode selection ...) which I added to the firmware and which the driver relies on. > is that you have to use DVB_CHANNEL_CA for channel_flags in the frontend > structure - as I see some CA stuff in the Linux driver runs only in this > case.

Here is my implementation for your request (it was written in 10 mins, so be indulgent). The code sets up a bitfilter for actual TS EIT present/following, and dumps to the stdout any data received (so a lot of stuff missing, e.g. CRC check, section format check, etc...) If you want to "decode" the EIT table, I recommend you to get EN 300 468 at ETSI. To compile the source, make sure you use -I to extend include search path with your DVB/driver source (where dvb_v4l.h is).. before you start it tune in a channel.

I think EON offers great value with their service. They ARE other offers you can use if you want to, e.g. DirecPC from Hughes (www.direcpceu.com) if you want to pay up to 90 cents per MB received (in the 90 USD subscription you have just 100 MB traffic). And the equipment will cost you 1000 USD, not 300 USD. And you have to pay an activation fee of up to 200 USD. Great service, uh? BTW, the same DirecPC service in States is 40 USD per month, unlimited traffic. If you really want something proffesional, try NetSatExpress. You'll end up paying 1500 USD monthly for a 64 kbps CIR receive-only, unlimited traffic. That's right, 1500 not 15. And you have to pay a start-up cost of about 8000 USD.(You can check their prices at http://www.network-service.ru/v5e_dpc/v5_h115.htm ) As you can see EOL does a great job: providing inexpensive Internet access to Europe.

If it was two-way (no modem and telco expences) than that would be a bargain!! Please NOTE that my oppinion is based on various contacts with various EON people (marketing, customer support,...) by various means (phone, mail, e-mail), and on the fact that in the begining (summer 1999) it worked much, much, much ... faster. If you are nearby, please drop in and we will have a cold beer and chat in peace about EON and other life-important stuff. Good luck using EON, everyone... Regards, Ivo.

ATI has real-time compression but it would seem it is at least partly hardware assisted in the all-in-wonder 128 32MB that has the rage theater chip. the software part appears to be the ligos (lsx) encoder. quality is decent for the occasional TV capture but nothing overwhelming. I get far better results capturing low-compression mjpeg with the Pinnacle DC10+ (with virtualdub, not with Pinnacle's infamous software) then running it through a software mpeg encoder (12+ hours).

The linux drivers are ok, and it has hardware decoding for both video and sound (mpeg and ac3), so at work we are considering it for a videoserver with multiple output channels.

Understood. Aiming at squeezing the video to a suitable size for recording to cd-r, I have been able to run flaskmpeg and panasonic 2.5 standalone on the output of pva2mpeg2, but there is definitely some issue with image degradation (high contrast, some blur)... maybe I should try to demux/remux the mpeg2 before re-encoding it. Would those demuxers work on pva too, or, if not, where to find a pva-specific demuxer (preferably linux-based)?. The ideal thing would be to do all this linux-only with some scripts so as to leave it running at night and get a freshly burnt cd image on the following day. :) MK From neil@jobbins.net Wed Aug 1 13:16:23 2001 Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2000 15:03:09 +0100 From: Neil Jobbins To: linux-dvb@linuxtv.org Subject: Re: EON with dvbd and redhat 6.2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Neil Jobbins email: neil@jobbins.net Tel: +44 1527 401863 Fax: +44 7031 150530 Mobile: +44 7775 913955 ICQ#: 2505619 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neil Jobbins" To: "Martin Moerman" Sent: Sunday, August 20, 2000 2:35 PM Subject: Re: EON with dvbd and redhat 6.2 > Martin, > Thanks for the responce.

In my place it did not work reliable: The Mpeg 1 layer 2 audio frames had additional 14 Bytes at the end - apparently exta bytes are in the pva stream. Video demultiplexing caused some segmentation faults. Basically video only elementary streams should playblack with mtv (a linux mpeg player) but it didn't work either.

The card is cheaper than the SB Live. In the basic configuration the card has only optical and coaxial spdif out. There are add-on solutions for spdif in, however, that are also supported by Alsa, but I haven't tested these. The 4DWave NX also features programming of the spdif header bits from user space, so it should be possible to output AC3/DTS or whatever using the digital output. I have not managed to get this to work yet (using ac3play, www.alsaplayer.org), since the Alsa API is somewhat in a flux in this regard.

Un-usable. * Cyberlink PowerDVD: very dark and contrasted, as above, but no image corruption. usable. Of all the players PowerDVD was the only one able to attempt to play the unmodified pva, but with a corrupted image and a crash. * Windvd 2000 2.1: does not run at all, just plays (correctly) the audio stream. none of the above showed audio-video sync problems. ------------------------------------------- Conclusion: not all the mpeg2 decoders have the same tolerance to errors. There is a possibility of dealing even with a slightly faulty stream. For Linux, of all the free decoders, dvdplay certainly looks the more promising. The image was certainly on a par with the best software decoders under windoze. Needs image resizing, audio sync and smooth play. For the windoze players, the sharper the image the more sensitive to errors (cinemaster vs. ligos decoder). no surprise there (excepted for powerdvd).

Org" Subject: Firmware problem? Hi, As many might have noticed, I've been killing myself to get the CI stuff working... actually I tough it was not working at all... but I was wrong. What I found it to be is that the driver is returning the wrong PNR / Service-ID for many encrypted channels. I have seen this on Hotbird... but might be the same on Astra. For Example, BBC WORLD on Hotbird (freq. 12.054GHz Horiz, sr27500, Service-ID 11503) is returned with service-id of 11523... of course this prevents the smartcard from decoding it :-(( The problem occurs on *some* channels and not on *all*. As I said, the windows driver/app does not have this issue. What I must say is that I was scanning the whole freq. range using stest... I can only think of these problems: 1. Firmware returning the wrong SID (formerly pnr) 2. Driver (actually the code in libdvb) finding two channels with the same name and thus updating (I will check this one later). 3. ????? Plamen.

Yes, I tried that of course (I have dvb-s on /dev/video0 and bt878 /dev/video1), the problem is that the front-end app (be it kwintv or xawtv) hogs video devices and refuses to load if it finds them in use... in theory we should have no problem, should be just like with the dvb recorder: dvdplayer --> /dev/video0 xawtv --------> /dev/video1 I haven't identified yet why this does not work.

You can remove junk at the beginning (but only at GOP level) if you specify the start time as argument. But you need a helper program to get the start time (I use a modified mpeg2decode, which generates thumbnails from every GOP). Cutting at Picture Level will be a bit harder: You may have to reassemble the audio stream, and if you want 100% correct video, you probably have to decode the mpeg and re-encode it (since most likely full frames won´t appear in the stream when you need them). -- Martin (martin@smurf.franken.de) From pganev@com-it.net Wed Aug 1 13:16:23 2001 Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2000 11:31:26 +0200 From: Plamen Ganev To: "Linux-Dvb@Linuxtv.

"The windows media player" is just a general (pimping...) framework, for a given format it actually looks at the installed codecs and picks the first suitable for work (NO way to choose among them excepted registering and unregistering them by use of regserv32). Have a look at the "properties" menu and you find what it is trying to use as a backend. if you whish to explore how all this is working, get a hand on "graphedit", this is a M$ tool that allows to manipulate directly the filter connexions used by the media player. For example the filters my system is loading by default to play mpeg2 are - file reader - ligos mpeg splitter - ligos mpeg decoder filter - xing mpeg audio decoder - overlay mixer - video renderer - audio renderer You can of course switch between equivalent components, but a sizable number of those filters have been castrated so as they only work with their intended app. Typical M$ stuff, indeed. In short, what probably happens is that the particular set of filters you happen to be loading are not compatible. try adding & deleting stuff with regsrv32.

Yes ATI AIW comes with a customized version of the "cinemaster engine". At least in my tests it is certainly not the best for playing the output of avpes2mpeg (but then, I have installed the cinemaster 2000 dll's so there might be some interference) Curious about your experience with it. > Several > other Software DVD players for Windows also uses DirectVideo-compatible > filters. some reliable source might be http://come.to/tec-video in the "outils" section.

Well I haven't installed version 7 because it is rumored to be even more crippleware and bloated than the precedents, so I cannot give you feedback on that one. I stuck with 6.4 Now where did the mpeg2 decoder piece come from? SDK? media tools? I was pretty damn sure of having seen and used it some months ago.

De-Interlacing is quite a complex issue if you want to do it right. The easiest way is to do an interpolation between the lines of one field (halfpicture) to get twice as many lines (linedoubling). that looks a little better than what we see now, but is far from perfect. the point is: if you have still pictures or a video that was taken from film (at least in PAL...) you can just combine the two fields of one frame (weaving). For normal video, the 2 fields are 1/50th of a second apart. If you want to do it right, you weave those parts of the image where there is no motion and interpolate the parts with motion... thats the goal at least.

Switching back to PW promo doesn't work PW Promo is the only digital channel on Astra 1 that broadcasts in the low band.

I don't know why Marcus use 11800 as switch band. That's why every time I have to change in the code the "Band Switch" value from 11800 to 11700. And this works fine for me.

This would be most perfect, but really CPU intensive and hard to code. Please think again about my idea: Imagine, where the interpolation of b-picture[t] with b-picture[t-2/50] would be. It would be similar to a-picture[t-1/50], would'nt it? And the full information would be available on the screen. And think again about the effect on still pictures. It would be "perfect", I mean, it would be "as unchanged".

Hi All, I'm trying to put a DVB HOWTO together. Initially it was only for the skymedia brand of DVB cards, but I think a lot of information could be usefull for everyone. Topics I want to put in the HOWTO : * Experience with different ISP (Europe, Asia, US ...). Speed, connectivity, support, price ... * Applications * Howto setup your linuxbox (proxyserver, stand-alone, ....) * some theoretical background DVB, networking where approp. * encountered problems, and if possible their solutions * Specs, standards * TV and data over sat. * links * and more ...

Hi, you need the dvbd daemon to use new EOL authentication. You can find it on website (linuxtv.org). You must download it. Configuration files could be right. You absolutely have to read dvbd.h and eventually recompile if dvbd use eth0 instead of ppp0 !! (it is hardcoded in the code). Than launch dvbd and setup proxies in your browser as a windows 9x users do !! Authentication is done in the browser and it is cumbersome So you have to install (if you want) squid proxy !!! If you install SQUID you gain: - on client side no authentication - it is faster because cache is a great thing :) Hope this help Piero ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Friday, August 25, 2000 12:40 PM Subject: is the proxy necessary? > Now that Europe Online has changed their login procedure, I understand that the > Cyberlogin program no longer works.

I chose this way as an intermediary solution until all channel switching is done via libdvb. The .gvideorc file is a relic of the old .videorc file I used with xtvscreen. in the beginning I started to write gVideo as a replacement for xtvscreen. Then all the dvb stuff was added and some inconsistencies remained. When I have some time I am going to fix things, or somebody else may be interested. It is open source/ GPLed code after all and everybody is welcome to contribute. Maybe there are some suggestions for a format that can be used for the favorite channels. I would still like to keep the frequency settings etc. in order to use gVideo for other tuner cards, like bt848 cards.

Rempeg2 only cares about the video part of the stream. It didn't detect any error decoding the GOPs, and gave a smooth and clear output stream.

OK, so what if freq. etc. for a dvb channel would just be 0 and the link to dvbrc would be SID and SATID?

As i said, i'd tried all of them exept 0.03, becouse i can't compile dvbd for 0.03, I patch dvbrouter.tar.gz with dvb2.tar.gz than copy that two files from 0.03 driver to /driver directory of dvbd and get error during compilation (first warning, and later error in dvbd.o, if I don't copy that two files from 0.03 driver than dvbd doesn't work with 0.03 driver :(, if do don't compile). So reasuming, connection lasts only for about 5 minutes on drivers higher than 0.03, and compilation of dvbd for 0.03 is not possible for me ! Reload of drivers helps, but for few moments again, and i have to reload it again :(. Where can be the problem ? Anyone'll be so polite to help me ? I've tried to search dvb mailinglist but it's impossible to search all of it manually !

Org" Cc: ralph@convergence.de Subject: OSD bugging me.... Hi! I'm currently working on extending the menu handling of VDR, however I see a rather nasty problem with OSD that I think is related to the driver.... I think we all need Ralph's help. The problem is this: A big OSD windows (as seen in the VDR main menu) seems to cause trouble in the firmware after a series of show/hide operations as when someone is playing with the channels/menues in VDR. The effect is that the menu will stop appearing on the screen. The OSD_Open call fails silently as all the other operations (OSD_Text/Fill etc etc). Only a driver reload will fix it... for a while. The weird thing is that if I try to open a smaller menu (i.e. using less memory?) it will show up, again for a few times.... then it will not show again. If I reduce the menu size again it will show up again.... all this until I can only show a 1 line high OSD window. Someone else already reported this issue on the list, but it seems that only few people are seeing it, so I tried to find the conditions when this problem occurs: 1. First of all, if I tune to a random channel and open/close the big OSD window (the VDR menu) for 100 times or more, I will never get the problem. 2. To get the problem, I have to open the big OSD window immediately *after* a channel switch which required a new frequency to be tuned (an APID/VPID change will not do it, you need a freq. change). After a frequency switch, there's about 20% chance for OSD not opening up. Sometimes it takes just a couple of tries, sometimes you need 10 times on a row. 3. I tried to play a lot with the driver, disabling and enabling many things, inserting debug stuff everywhere, but no luck. The problem seemed to occur only after a freq. change (yes I tried to disable the SetDiseqC call in the driver too). So, the basic facts are: 1. A small OSD windows will always open, when a big one will not. 2. As time goes (and freq. switches), the maximum size of the OSD seems to shrink. So my guess is: The firmware is consuming memory (memory leak, heap fragmentation ???) so that as time goes it finds it harder to allocate enough memory for the window. One more thing I did: I tried opening a big OSD window (i.e. almost the size of the entire screen) with freshly loaded drivers... and guess what? I hit the problem immediately and I could not open this window. So... is there a maximum OSD window that can be opened and are big windows causing trouble with memory (i.e. how's memory allocated? malloc in armlib?)... I see that Ralph has done some fixups in OSD in the firmware between version 0.05 and 0.06 of the driver. Version 0.05 firmware will either hang (outcommand error 1) or have noise on screen (as Klaus, the author of VDR pointed in the past). Version 0.06 of the firmware/driver will not have outcommand errors, but it will not show OSD. BTW: I was thinking that there could be hardware issues, so this is the PC I'm trying to use for VDR: Pentium 100, VX chipset (or was it HX?. 84 Mb RAM FireGL 1000 8Mb ram IDE Quantum hard disk (plenty of space) The PCI bus latency is set to 32 and the IRQ from the DVB card is not shared with any other device. Linux kernel 2.2.14-5 stock redhat 6.2 distribution I can debug more if needed (Ralph? Is it possible to get sources for the firmware so I can help? I did a lot of ARM7 programming in the past for embedded systems, and still have access to VLSI JumpStart and Arm SDK). Regards, Plamen.

In the last firmware I freed up a little more, about 100K. For those who have the AV7110 specs, I used the described mechanism which uses some of the DRAM for buffering to free up SDRAM. I could not go to the maximum limits described there because then there would be mistakes in the playback. They should have put 4MB SDRAM on the card instead of 2MB. The AV7110 has nice graphics capabilities if one has the memory for it. I also added a lot of pointer checking to the OSD code in the firmware. That´s why there are no more ARM crashes (outcommand errors). I´ll go over it again to check if there is any memory loss. > I can debug more if needed (Ralph?

Ok.... let's get constructive (speaking about myself :-) I knew you were under NDA, but I had to ask.... So, without being able to see the code, I have to guess, so if I don't get it, ignore me. So, from your words, I guess that you're using malloc. And I guess that malloc is used somewhere else in the driver (maybe you need some extra memory in the tuner routines?). What can happen is that you have a small piece of allocated memory in the middle of the big memory (this can be due to uneven malloc/free or even memory leakage leaving allocated blocks around). Anyway, you have this total of 100K split in 49K + 2K + 49K and the user application requires an OSD that would take 55K.... the firmware is stuck. But if the app makes it's OSD let's say 40K then it shows up.... but only until the memory is more fragmented and you end up with 29K + 2K + 29K + 2K + ....... This happened to me all the time in the past (remember, I am an embedded systems programmer) until I decided to actually ignore malloc, and allocate memory once and then use it as is (static allocation of everything). So... the question is: Is it possible for the driver to lock the OSD memory (let's say allocate a predefined maximum array that will be the one that is used always) ...... or ....... Is there a mode where the user application can allocate some memory for OSD (i.e. get the firmware to allocate it) and then just show/hide it (this would allow the apllication to draw off-screen and then quickly show the stuff that was pre-drawn). I guess the third choice (garbadge collectors and heap defragmentation) is too much of a pain to implement. > Sorry, but we are bound by NDAs not to release the firmware.

Oh, i forgot to write on the html page that you need to patch libdvb and gVideo in order to work with the files. The patch is provided within the tgz. For some channels there aren't stored any valid Audio/video PIDs in my dvbrc files, because they change too often, that's why the PMTPID is absolutely neccessary to find the current+correct PID when switching to that channel.

I'm using VDR 0.61 and DBV 0.6 on a totally different configuration and I'm seeing these problems all the time. I'm also still getting outcommand errors: # fgrep outcommand /var/log/messages | tail -2 Aug 26 22:12:15 vdr kernel: outcommand error 1 Aug 26 22:12:15 vdr kernel: outcommand error 1 The symptoms are about the same that you are seeing: 1. I went through a new 356-channel list one-by-one to see which ones I can receive and what language the sound is. I only used the VDR "Up" and "Down" functions, so the OSD was just the small one-line channel number/channel name/time display. After a few dozen channels the OSD started to get incomplete intermittently, sometimes only showing the first digits of the channel number, etc. After about 200 channels the thing froze entirely. I did not check the /var/log/messages back then, but this may well have been on Aug 26th at 22:12, as shown above. 2. When I use the large OSD (channel list) it survives a lot less than 200 display/remove OSD operations. Ralph, can you reproduce it with the above test cases? If not, please let me know and I'll try to come up with a test case that breaks the thing with a deterministic set of actions right after a reboot. Carsten.

This could be of great help to Ralph. BTW the residual outcommand errors (alias "dead firmware") are from tuning to the wrong frequency (i.e. weak signal/no signal due to AFC/tuning).

That I do not know. However, it is recommended that you buy the original Siemens card, because Siemens supported the open source community by making documentation available for the Linux driver authors. You can buy it on line. Follow this link: http://www.pc-werksverkauf.de/zubehoer/tv-karten.htm Carsten.

Actually, the firmware includes its own memory management routines and DRAM and SDRAM are handled seperately. On the SDRAM side only OSD memory is managed dnyamically. All other buffering for filters, CI, etc. is done in DRAM. The part in SDRAM for MPEG2 buffering and decoding is statically allocated after the first reset. So, if you delete all windows everything should be free again. Since it looks like it isn´t there must be a memory leak or a bug in the allocation/deallocation. > This happened to me all the time in the past (remember, I am an embedded > systems programmer) until I decided to actually ignore malloc, and allocate > memory once and then use it as is (static allocation of everything). > > So... the question is: Is it possible for the driver to lock the OSD memory > (let's say allocate a predefined maximum array that will be the one that is > used always) ...... or .......

Well, at least the PC side of the driver is open, which btw. includes all the tuning except for setting PIDs and 22KHz/DiSEqC control. You mentioned that you did something with VLSI chips? If you know something about adjusting e.g. the VLSI1893 to work at low bitrates, feel free to hack around in VES1893.c :-) Ralph From springer@convergence.de Wed Aug 1 13:16:24 2001 Date: 30 Aug 2000 21:45:11 +0100 From: Martin Springer To: classic@ghost.odessos.org Cc: linux-dvb@linuxtv.org Subject: Re: question... writes: > it the SkyStar1 DVB card compatible to the dvb driver for the siemens > card? At least it looks very similar to the Siemens/ Hauppauge/ Technotrend card (see http://www.technisat.de/deu/Produkte/show.asp?nr=0000/4092&okat=E&katkey=E0001). And Technisat is a German company.

Org" Cc: ralph@convergence.de Subject: Re: OSD bugging me.... Hi, I can confirm having the very same problems with OSD. Less than a dozen or so manipulations of full screen OSD (like loading "menu" and then "channels" then changing channel) will silently kill it: the card stops responding. Zapping with the "up" and "down" arrows doesn't kill the driver as often. The usual cure works for me: unload vdr, full unload and reload of the drivers, reload vdr. Nothing in /var/log/messages. The driver also endures a different kind of death when trying to set it to some specific frequencies: Astra 19E / 12670 V 22000 289 290 for example.. system: Asus K7M, Athlon 600, 128 MB Ram Mandrake kernel 2.2.17 recompiled, latest i2c and lirc drivers.

Stefan & Klaus, could you please have a look athe input&output synchornization mechanism i'm using in the as-3 snapshot (will be out this evening) I have at least one report, that it is improving performance on low end systems. It avoid the tight busy loops currently used there. Klaus tried to defuse those by using udelay(1), i believe this causes latencys which might contribute to A/V desyncs in situations where the buffer is almost empty (and this case for all trick modes and on slow systems!)
