Any hints what I could try to get further?

I need to look more closely at what else differs.

In any case, thanks to everyone involved in supporting this device. I also collected from the mailing list the instructions on how to get this device running and added them at the end of the wiki page, http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TerraTec_Cinergy_Piranha Esa _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I plan to remove that from the driver, as I am working to convert it 100% to the standard linux-dvb api. default_mode is set to 4 in the driver -- you just shouldn't mess with it. > Only mode 4 will work with yesterday's /siano snapshot, even > though the firmware is the same -- you'll also need to rename the > firmware to what the code expects: > dvbt_bda_stellar_usb.inp > > There appears to be another copy of the smsdvb code in a repository > called somehow `hd' which differs slightly; the only difference I > looked at is one which I needed to apply for my 2.6.24-era kernel. > I need to look more closely at what else differs. That code is not for you :-P That's for an unrelated experiment that I was doing. You think you needed the adapter_nr compat patch, but you dont -- if you build from the "siano" tree, it will install the newer dvb-core along with the adapter_nr interface. Just dont use the hd tree. The "isms" will all be removed before I merge the code into the master repository.

Which brings me to ask publicly what I've been trying to figure out how to ask... The device supports DAB under the supplied Home Cinema Windows application, the reason why I bought it (DAB support, that is. I have no Windows boxes). It works and all. DAB is about as far from DVB as, well, as it is. There's one DAB device support sourcefile, under video or something, but it doesn't seem to deal with the composition of the multiplex datastream. Where is it appropriate for me to ask questions about DAB, if anywhere? Shirley, not this list... And secondly, has anyone who has this adapter and can receive DAB radio with it, captured that protocol and data and whatnot, to enable some reverse-engineering/hacking? Basically, I'm wondering, what does a non-DVB external software need to say to the device, and what does the device say in return (complete multiplex data, or only part thereof, or something), in order to tune and listen to a DAB multiplex/channel... > > There appears to be another copy of the smsdvb code in a repository > > called somehow `*CENSORED*' which differs slightly; > That code is not for you :-P Sorry guv, i'm overwriting my downloaded copy thereof repeatedly with a random pattern of ones and zeroes formed by the statistical cryptographic transformation (and computationally mathematically proven, say wot) based on the highly sophisticated algorithm of ROT-26ing the data, so you can rest assured I shan't poke my nose in places it does not belong, until the next time I see something curiously interesting > You think you needed the adapter_nr compat patch, but you dont -- if > you build from the "siano" tree, it will install the newer dvb-core > along with the adapter_nr interface. And it will also overwrite the hacked source I have in my present kernel that enables a few obscure devices I have to function at all, so I'm hoping to clear out all my accumulated hacks before I can safely try a stock kernel again. That's the unfortunate reason I'm cherry-picking the best goodies out of new code selectively. No worries, I'm clearing out my hacks, hopefully before I get cleared out thanks barry bouwmsa _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
