[linux-dvb] Which DVB-T on mips Arch. (openwrt) for wlan-dvb-streaming

[Russ Martin]

Hi,

i want to stream dvb over air, using wgt634u and a dvb-usb stick in  
combi with tzap,
dvbstream and mplayer (an my laptop) .....

has anybody successfully used any usb-dvb-t device ...

I can compile and insmod (modprobe) the modules, firmware is loaded  
successful (? as long
as dmesg is concerned) but i found no channels, cannot "cat" device  
nor using dvbstream
(dvb_demux_feed_del: feed not in list (type=0 state=0 pid=ffff)).

Thanks for any help.
Martin


here is my post on openwrt.org


i want to stream dvb over air, using wgt634u and a dvb-usb stick in  
combi with tzap,
dvbstream and mplayer (an my laptop) .....

i managed to compile i2c, the last dvb-modules and dvb-utils/apps.
I can load all modules without probs. i tried, two adapters

Afatech AF9005
and
AVerMedia AVerTV DVB-T Volar

the first prob. was that i the device-nodes where none standard.

so i put the following script
mkdir -p /dev/dvb/adapter0
ln -sf /dev/dvb0.frontend0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
ln -sf /dev/dvb0.net0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/net0
ln -sf /dev/dvb0.demux0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0
ln -sf /dev/dvb0.dvr0 /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0

when i use
./scan de-Muenchen
... i get no channel, but when i use
./tzap zdf -c channels.conf -r # with a channels.conf from my laptop
i get a lock, so i think something works....

when i try now
cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
i get nothing...

I assume a problem with i2c, usb, or udev (device-nodes).

using dvbstream, wasnt successful neither:
error:     "dvb_demux_feed_del: feed not in list (type=0 state=0 pid=ffff)"

tt2.mpg is "empty" ... on my laptop, with the same usb-card, antenna  
and at the same
location, everything works?

maybe somebody can help, ....

With udev and the following rule, dvb-devices named now correctly,

cat /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="dvb", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'X=%k; X=$${X#dvb};  
A=$${X%%%%.*}; D=$${X#*.}; echo
dvb/adapter$$A/$$D'", NAME="%c"

crw-rw----    1 root     root     212,   7 Jan  1 00:03 net0

but the problems with zapping and dvbstream persists:
dvb_demux_feed_del: feed not in list (type=0 state=0 pid=ffff)
Failed setting filter for pid 337: DMX SET PES FILTER: Invalid argument
Output to stdout

Could it be a problem with loading the firmware. I wrote s.th. about  
probs with firmware
and 64bit os.

? any ideas?

dvb-usb: found a 'Afatech DVB-T USB1.1 stick' in cold state, will try  
to load a firmware
dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'af9005.fw'
dvb-usb: found a 'Afatech DVB-T USB1.1 stick' in warm state.
dvb-usb: will use the device's hardware PID filter (table count: 32).
