I had the Igor repo working on a Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-HD-S2 (aka HVR4000
Lite) with VDR 1.7.0 as well, until yesterday that is. The harddisk of my
VDR system died and I had to re-install everything on a new HDD. The
important configs were backupped, but I didn't backup the Igor repo.

Well, no biggie. I compiled the latest hg repo on Xubuntu 8.0.4.
Compilation and installation went without problems. DVB-S and DVB-S2 works
in VDR 1.7.0. Only I can't get the remote of the Hauppauge working any
more in combination with the vdr-remote plugin. VDR starts, but just hangs
when he wants to setup the remote:

- dmesg output:

[   40.705724] input: cx88 IR (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR400 as
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.0/0000:01:0a.0/input/input4

- user.log output:

Jul 31 07:11:04 htpc vdr: [6610] remote control remote-event4 - learning keys
Jul 31 07:11:04 htpc vdr: [6610] device /dev/input/event4: cx88 IR

Jul 31 07:11:42 htpc vdr: [6610] new remote-event4 code: 0000000100010067
= Up

Then it hangs. No output on the screen (I use the eHD for output). If I
change the input to lircd (which is for my mce_usb2 device) with
vdr-remote, the Remote setup comes up and I can complete it.

Has something changed to the remote functionality in the Igor repo? The
pull I did from last friday, did work with the vdr-remote plugin and my
remote.

I can agree, the Igor repo works very good! No more pulls from different
sources and add patches which breaks with newer multiproto revisions :)

If I use this driver for dvb-s, can I use the normal szap and scan utils 
from dvb-apps repository or should download the szap2 and scan2 from 
somewhere?

Considering this driver is using multiproto, you need userland which is able
to use multiproto, so use szap2 from the same repository :)

I've just updated my working copy of this repository, and got a
WINTV-NOVA-HD-S2 to work, or at least, to some point where it looks like it
works with DVB-S2. I tested it with some conf :
more Astra-19.2E.conf
Anixe HD:12722:h:1:22000:1023:1027:10203
Astra HD Promo:11914:h:1:27500:1279:1283:131

before the commit from last sunday :

yes, you're right - you should use dvb-application with multiproto support - vdr 170, szap2 from that repo.
But old application should work correctly with this driver too, but only with dvb-s.

with scan2 you should use -C and -M parameters too !

[SUBHRANIL CHOUDHURY]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 400 bytes --]

Hi all,
I am using a Pinnacle Dual Diversity Stick 2001e DVB-T USB dongle. I have
brought up the dongle. It is scanning .
But I am facing a serious problem.
The captured stream can not be played out. And also while recording from the
channel the application is stopping for sometime and again starting.
I am not getting why is it happening.
Can anyone point out what is going wrong?

Regards,
Subhro

[linux-dvb] latest hvr-4000 driver patches

[Mika Laitio]

I optained the hvr-4000 and would like to set things up 
with less error prone way in the beginning as I will also need to setup 
and direct the dish toward the satellite for the first time as well.

Are the single frontend drivers from 
http://dev.kewl.org/hauppauge/ the safest way to try in the beginning even if using new 2.6.26 kernels
even though the patch in there does not anymore apply to dvb-kernel head? 
I assume with that I could just use standard dvb-tools without any 
patching.

And what about vdr-1.7.0, is the multi frontend driver install 
procedure mentioned in wiki ok for that one? 
(http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-4000#Drivers) 
or is there awailable some other patch set for that?

Mika

I have vdr 170 , hvr4000 and fresh drivers form "Igor M. Liplianin's repo (repo includes hg multiproto + hvr4000 patch +
some fixes)
http://liplianindvb.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/liplianindvb/
It works well. I recommend it for your case
Of course it's not multifrontend drivers

Re: [linux-dvb] latest hvr-4000 driver patches

[Mika Laitio]

Thanks I will try that once I get back to home.
Before leaving I was just shotyly testing by applying the patch

http://dev.kewl.org/hauppauge/v4l-dvb-hg-sfe-latest.diff
to
revision 7285 of vnl-dvb. Build of that against the 2.6.26 kernel headers
had some compile problems due to changed structures and after the boot the 
driver recogniced the card but then crashed for some buffer error.

Any idea whether some of these drivers (single frontend, multifrontend, 
multiproto) will be applied to v4l-dvb in near future?

If help is needed, I could try to help.

Mika

I build and installed the drivers from Liplianin's repository to 2.6.26
kernel. I think driver loads now ok and dvb-s is used by default. (at
least that is reported by the kaffeine and scan from dvb-apps)

Should the dvb-apps/util/scan/scan from dvb-apps repository head work with
the Liplianin's driver?

I think I found at least some satellite according to cheap peeper hardware 
I have used while rotating dish. Command
"./scan dvb-s/Hotbird-13.0E" does not find any channels for me.

And could I use the util/femon indicate some non-zero values if I run 
that alone for the debugging purposes, when some satellite gives good 
signal?
