looks ok so far.

and xine locks up completly. If anyone got an idea, what to try, or how to solve this issue, i would be very thankful.



a Xine bug? Have you tried other output modes?

Maybe you want to try the simple solution suggested in the READMEs based on szap, test_sections and scan before to ensure that your setup is basically working...

Hi, i followed your advices and tried to play around with szap. as i see it here, my card seems to tune correctly, but it seems like the dvr0 device is giving no output. this is the reason, why xine locked up (normal in this case).
This is what szap gives me:

# ./szap -n 001 -c channels.conf-dvbs-astra
reading channels from file 'channels.conf-dvbs-astra'
zapping to 'Das Erste':
sat 0, frequency = 11837 MHz H, symbolrate 27500000, vpid = 0x0065, apid = 0x0066
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'

status 1f | signal 9a9a | snr d0d0 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK

but if i run the test tools, or if i try to cat the vdr0 device, or redirect the output anywhere i get no output. thanks for your help.

You need to pass the '-r' option to tell szap, czap or tzap that you want to see the stream at /dev/dvb/adapterX/dvr0 for recording or software playback. Is this documented wrong somewhere?

Sorry, must have overlooked that. I just tried to stick together the arguments to do what i want, but forgot this one. But it still doesnt change anything. I tried to do several things while having tuned to a channel, but all complained about missing output. i tried the dvbdate, tried cat dvr0, ...
Another thing i noticed, is that the orange lamp, thats normally turned on, when the hardware is accessed through the software, is turned off. When i used the card with a 2.4 kernel, some month ago, it was turned on, when tuning, and when i use it in windows, it is also turned on.
