DNTV Dual Hybrid (7164) PCIe

Hi Kernellabs,

I'm thinking of getting this:

It seems very similar to the HVR-2200 yet has component-in.
Do you reckon your module/s might support it?

Thank-you!
Jed

Highly likely the drivers will not support it. Each card has unique firmware 
identifiers that need to be added manually to the driver.

If you'd like to provide me a card then I'd consider adding support.

Happy to do this, so long as I can get it back eventually?

Assuming you want me to continue supporting that product then I generally keep 
hold of the hardware indefinitely, else 2-3 driver patches from now your card 
will no longer be regression tested and could stop working.

Actually I'd be happy to donate...
So long as I knew there'd be some progress on the analogue side.
Already got the HVR-2200 for DVB.

By "analogue side" I mainly mean A/V-in
Thank-you/Good night

Judging by the silence I'm guessing that's a "negative"  ;-)

I actually had a closer read of this...
http://www.kernellabs.com/blog/?p=1339

So even if I donated a card I guess that's not going to compensate you
nearly enough to get analogue a/v-in at least partially working?!

So it seems I went for a "bells & whistles" card which will probably
never be fully supported. I seem to recall having the same experience
with a prior card, I wonder if I'll ever learn!

Are there any tuners with similar raw analogue capture/encoding
abilities (ideally component) that you do support more completely or
intend to?

Or should I be looking at dedicated video capture devices for better
linux-media support?

Thank-you

changed em28xx-cards-c; Plextor ConvertX AV100U now works!

[Don Kramer]

Hi all,

I'm new to this.  I wanted to get the Plextor ConvertX AV100U (with a eMPIA EM2820 chip) to run in Ubuntu 10.04. This was made circa 2004 and
to the best of my knowledge the only official drives for it are Windows XP.

This is the device:

http://www.overclockersonline.net/reviews/5000198/

and this is the board:

http://www.overclockersonline.net/images/articles/plextor/av100u/large/pcb.jpg

and by adding this code to em28xx-cards-c

{ USB_DEVICE(0x093b, 0xa003),
            .driver_info = EM2820_BOARD_PINNACLE_DVC_90 }, /* Plextor Corp. ConvertX AV100U A/V Capture Audio */

It works!  

I'm opening it as a capture device in VLC Player.  Video is high quality, only defect is a green bar on maybe the lower 15% of the screen.  So three questions:

1) how do I address the green bar?

2) how to I get audio?  I can see the device in Ubuntu under sound preferences. How do I identify what the audio device name is?

3) What is the process to submit this change to em28xx-cards-c for v4l2?

Thanks,

Don Kramer

DNTV Dual Hybrid (7164) PCIe

[Martin Brown]

I'm trying to get a driver working for this card under Ubuntu Lucid (10.04).

I believe the card is based on the SAA7164 so I'm trying the kernellabs 
driver.

Results of modprobe saa7164 are:

/etc/modprobe.d/options.conf contains:
options saa7164 card=4


kernel: [ 159.091047] saa7164 driver loaded
kernel: [ 159.091102] saa7164 0000:04:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, 
low) -> IRQ 18

kernel: [ 159.135163] tveeprom 0-0000: Encountered bad packet header 
[00]. Corrupt or not a Hauppauge eeprom.
kernel: [ 159.135168] saa7164[0]: Hauppauge eeprom: model=0

That's it. Nothing more. No /dev/dvb/adpator... created.

When /etc/modprobe.conf has:
options saa7164 card=5 I get:

kernel: [ 547.123384] saa7164 driver loaded
kernel: [ 547.123435] saa7164 0000:04:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level,

kernel: [ 547.469226] DVB: registering adapter 2 frontend 0 (NXP

But only one /dev/dvb/adaptor created instead of 2 and I suspect the 
tveeprom error is fatal.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Martin

Read the topmost note of:

http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers

Is your device in any way related to those two iterations of the
Hauppauge HVR-2200 model?
