Hi Everyone, 

 

                Ok I've recently decided to start seeing if I can figure out
the issue with the Analouge, on this card, first my normal dmesg.

As you can see I have two cards. First thing I have done is unload all the
tuner drivers, using make unload. Then reloaded the 1800 drivers via. 

 

modprobe cx25840 debug=1

modprobe cx23885 debug=1

 

Then tried a cat /dev/video1 > test.mpg. This resulted in nothing but a
black empty video. Weird thing is the dmesg output started outputting crazy
erros. Below:

There were enough of these errors to fill up the scroll back buffer on
putty. 

 

I was wondering where I would go from here to try to help the developer's
figure out the issues with this card. I've been diving through the code, but
my C/C++ is 10 years rusty so it's slow going. 

 

Oh, and the drivers were pulled down as most recent an hour ago. 

 

Anyone that can point me in the right direction, I would appreciated it, I
have no problem getting my hands "dirty". 

 

Thanks.

Dustin Coates

There were enough of these errors to fill up the scroll back buffer on
putty. 

 

I was wondering where I would go from here to try to help the developer's
figure out the issues with this card. I've been diving through the code, but
my C/C++ is 10 years rusty so it's slow going. 

 

Oh, and the drivers were pulled down as most recent an hour ago. 

 

Anyone that can point me in the right direction, I would appreciated it, I
have no problem getting my hands "dirty". 

 

Thanks.

I really hope to get analogue resovled for this card..there are a lot of
owners of this card, that can't use them for the purpose they bought them..

 

I.E. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=785476 ten page topic begging
for support of this card. 

 

Recently I've had to tell people asking for opinion's of the HVR-1800 to go
with a different option since they need it for analogue support. Sorry for
being presistiant but I read in another email on the mailing list, that
presitiance helps. I've already offered several times that I'll help if
someone can point me in the right direction..

 

Keep up the good work.

 

Thanks

Dustin

The analog encoder works fine for me.

In my case the basic analog tuner is usually /dev/video0 and the encoder 
is video1.

Launch tvtime (which opens video0) tune and everything is fine, then cat 
/dev/video1 >test.mpg is working as expected.

Ok, TVTime works, still some static on a mostly the lower, and higher
channels.

Mythtv is only showing a green screen.

Mythbackend.log is showing these errors.

VIDIOCGCHAN: Invalid argument

VIDIOCMCAPTUREi1: Invalid argument
VIDIOCMCAPTURE0: Invalid argument

I think if i can get past these errors it might just work...

When tvtime was running can you try cat /dev/video1 >test.mpg as I 
suggested?

OK, when i load tvtime as tvtime --device=/dev/video1

I get the an error.

Videoinput: Driver refuses to set norm: Invalid argument

When i load tvtime as /dev/video0

I get a picture, but it's interlaced with a lot of static

Then when i try to cat /dev/video0 i get a Device or resource busy

cat /dev/video1, no errors . I play the file, and i get static, barley 
see picture, i can hear audio though.

Uploaded the video file to: (only 14MB) http://systemoverload.net/test.mpg

When  i set it up in mythtv i set it up as an analogue card.

Setting it to /dev/video1 gives me these errors in mythbackend.log.

To update myself.

I got it working in mythtv. Still *alot *of static. Hangs on changing 
channels in mythtv.

Errors in dmesg are these.

I belive if we can get these sorted out....it will be working good

I figured out the format_by_fourcc errors are due to an incorrect 
compression format set in cx23885-video.c. Refering to this post, 
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-dvb@linuxtv.org/msg29935.html. I made 
the changes suggest. The errors are gone, but video is black, audio is 
static on and off. Akin to switching channels when the cable is out.

So question. How would i go about finding the correct compression format 
for the HVR-1800. I think this would bring us one step closer...

With a little tinkering i got rid of the forcecc error by changing one 
line in the cx23885-video.c,  while keeping the video as it is...

diff -r cx23885-video.c cx23885-video.bak
148c148
<         .depth    = 16,
---
 >         .depth    = 32,


Still same old static picture on the video (refer to uploaded video 
earlier post). Hangs while changing channels. Still getting the firmware 
errors.

With a little tinkering i got rid of the forcecc error by changing one 
line in the cx23885-video.c,  while keeping the video as it is...

diff -r cx23885-video.c cx23885-video.bak
148c148
<         .depth    = 16,
---
 >         .depth    = 32,


Still same old static picture on the video (refer to uploaded video 
earlier post). Hangs while changing channels. Still getting the firmware 
errors.

Well, I've blacklisted the module, I'm tired of fooling with it, and not
getting any help. Guess it's a $140 paper weight till sometimes gets time or
cares.

Pity, I can run all of these things concurrently:

1. tvtime watching live TV (no audio though)
2. cat /dev/video1 >mpg (or using mplayer and reading the input) I get 
good video and audio
3. azap -r WABC-DT (and streaming ATSC or QAM).

I can't say I've tried MythTV, I haven't.
