[linux-dvb] S2API (pctv452e) artefacts in video stream

[linux-dvb] S2API (pctv452e) artefacts in video stream

[Jens Krehbiel-Gräther]

Hi!

I use a Pinnacle USB-Receiver (PCTV Sat HDTV Pro). The module is 
dvb-usb-pctv452e.

I use the repository from Igor Liplianin (actual hg release). The module 
compiles and loads fine. The scanning with scan-s2 and zapping with 
szap-s2 also wirk fine.
But when I record TV from the USB-device with "cat 
/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > (filename)" I got the TV-Stream of the actual 
tv-station (zapped with "szap-s2 -r SAT.1" for example).
This recorded video has artefacts, even missed frames.

Anyone else having this problem? I remember that on multiproto there was 
a similar problem with the pctv452e until Dominik Kuhlen patched 
somthing since then the video was OK. Is it possible that the same 
"error" is in the S2API-driver?

Regards,
  Jens

I have similar problems with my SkyStar HD (stb0899), but I
am still using the multiproto drivers.

Hi have also a similar problem on the TerraTec Cinergy S2 PCI HD
with the S2API drivers from the Liplianin tree.

Re: [linux-dvb] S2API (pctv452e) artefacts in video stream

[Jens Krehbiel-Gräther]

Hi!

So this problem concerns more people and should be a general bug??
My device is working well in windows, so it could not be the dish, the 
cable or the device itself.

Can I do anything for debugging this problem? Let me know!

Jens

Re: [linux-dvb] S2API (pctv452e) artefacts in video stream

[darav]

Hi!

The same problem exists with my PCTV 400e.
It seems to be problem with the USB part.
When I enable USB-Debug- in the kernel, I get this:

ttusb2: i2c transfer failed.
dvb-usb: bulk message failed: -22 (9/70)
ttusb2: there might have been an error during control message  
transfer. (rlen = 3, was 0)
...
ttusb2: i2c transfer failed.
dvb-usb: bulk message failed: -22 (9/70)
ttusb2: there might have been an error during control message  
transfer. (rlen = 3, was 0)

It's the same with 2.6.28 in-kernel-drivers and with the Igor  
Liplianin's tree.

(A also had this problem some years ago on a PPC-Mac-Mini. The  
workaround was to disable HIGHMEM. But it doesn't work now.
I'm now on x86 32bit).

I also want to help. But how?

Best Regards,
darav

Re: [linux-dvb] S2API (pctv452e) artefacts in video stream

[darav]

Hi again,

has anybody an idea what's going wrong here?
I'm still having this problem.
Is there anything I can do to help here?

Thanks in advance,
darav

P.S.: now posting on the new mailinglist. Sorry for double-post.

Looks like the demodulator did not respond at all, maybe it went
bad. Does your device work in a windows environment ?

Re: [linux-dvb] S2API (pctv452e) artefacts in video stream

[Rietzschel Carsten]

Hi Manu,
Hello together,

in the meantime I was able to test the device on windows. It works  
without any problems for over an hour.

Also I tried again different SAT- und USB-cables.
Also with all other USB-devices dettached - the error still comes.

First I'm getting "TS continuity errors"
and after a while (let's say 15 minutest) ...

Jan 30 14:42:20 vdr dvb-usb: bulk message failed: -110 (8/0)
Jan 30 14:42:20 vdr ttusb2: there might have been an error during  
control message transfer. (rlen = 4, was 0)
Jan 30 14:42:20 vdr ttusb2: i2c transfer failed.
Jan 30 14:42:22 vdr dvb-usb: bulk message failed: -110 (9/0)
Jan 30 14:42:22 vdr ttusb2: there might have been an error during  
control message transfer. (rlen = 3, was 0)
Jan 30 14:42:22 vdr ttusb2: i2c transfer failed.
Jan 30 14:42:24 vdr dvb-usb: bulk message failed: -110 (8/0)
Jan 30 14:42:24 vdr ttusb2: there might have been an error during  
control message transfer. (rlen = 4, was 0)


Thanks for your help!
