Re: MSI Digivox mini III Remote Control

[Aleksandr V. Piskunov]

Well, it seems there is a patch for Digivox mini III remote control at
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015-digivox3_remote/, perhaps Antti
can tell you more about it.

I got this tuner, and no, IR receiver doesn't work for me, it doesn't
even work in WinXP with bundled drivers and software, tested with
USB snoop, no reaction to keypresses. Maybe a hardware defect at
receiver part, maybe something is missing in a firmware, no idea.

So check it on some Windows system first, then try patch..

Re: MSI Digivox mini III Remote Control

Hi,

thx for the tip, i jusst tested it on Windows 7 and i was amazed....
Not only the remote worked perfectly out of the box, also the software used 
(some media-center from ArcSoft), worked flawless. (I last used a Hauppauge 
TV-Card about 2 years ago on windows).
One thing to note is the channel switching was a LOT faster (max. 1sec.) than 
on linux (sometimes > 5sec.).

Anyway, the remote works on windows, no i am trying to compile the mentioned 
repository, but it seems to fail compiling.
I already sent a mail to the msi-support...

Re: MSI Digivox mini III Remote Control

[Aleksandr V. Piskunov]

Just grab that patch and apply it to the current vl4-dvb, no need to mess
with old repository.
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015-digivox3_remote/raw-rev/914ded6d921d

Now if the current tree doesn't compile, thats another issue, probably
something with kernel headers, etc.

Actually thats interesting, I will test it on 64-bit Windows 7 when I get
home, will RMA that stick if remote doesn't work.

As for channel switching, it's most likely a tv viewing software issue, 
buffering or something like that. For me this tuner locks to transponder
in aprox. 1 second.

With this patch remote will not work most likely. But after adding that 
patch you should see remote events dumped to the /var/log/messages when 
key is pressed. I need to know which key gives which code. After that I 
can add correct key mappings to the driver.

For reason or the other there is no any mention about remote polling. 
Could you enable debug=3 to see what eeprom value is set to remote?
rmmod dvb-usb-af9015; modprobe dvb-usb-af9015 debug=3;

IR mode 4 disables it. I have strong feeling it should mean "polling"...
Could you change af9015.c around line 720:
from: if (val == AF9015_IR_MODE_DISABLED || val == 0x04) {
to: if (val == AF9015_IR_MODE_DISABLED) {

and test again.

Ahh progress... ;)
I did as you suggested, now dmesg shows the IR-device:
#--
Sep 21 16:25:50 Seth input: IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver 
as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-1/input/input7
Sep 21 16:25:50 Seth dvb-usb: schedule remote query interval to 150 msecs
#--

And syslog shows requests like the following:
#--
Sep 21 16:26:33 Seth af9015_rc_query: 07 00 27 00 00 00 00 00
#--

If it is ok, i will mail the output to you (and not spam the ml), later this 
day or tomorrow morning, as i have to leave for the university now...

Oh, tested under Windows, hardware is fine afterall.
