[linux-dvb] Hauppauge HVR-1300 help needed

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello!

I've been trying out the KnoppMyth for some time with a WinTV Go -card,
and I sure like it. Actually, KnoppMyth is what seems to be an ultimate
goal at my home :)

I recently bought the HVR-1300 (hoping that the encoder would be
beneficial), but found out a bit too late that there is no Linux support
yet. The card 'works' under Windows, but the software there is crap. So
I'd _love_ to see my card working under Linux. I looked through this lists
last months and found out that the HVR-1100 was recently added, on that
base I thought the 1300 could be quite easy to get to work.

Unfortunately, I don't know this birds feathers well enough to be able to
make the driver to work myself. To be more precise, I must consider myself
as a Linux newbie and I don't have C (or any other programming language)
in my vocabulary. So I'm asking the able guys here, if I could get any
help with my card.

Here's the info of the card what I've got this far:

Found by visual inspection (hi-res images at

Dmesg gives me this (as can be seen, I was able to install the newest
snapshot):

I think I got the tuner detected by echoing "options cx88xx tuner=63" >
/etc/modprobe/cx88xx . I think... the tuner obviously is the Philips
FMD1216ME based on Win info, and by the insmod option tuner=63 I got some
address for it. I can check it, if needed.

Driven by curiosity, I tried to fiddle with the drivers from the new
snapshot to enable my card. I did it by duplicating HVR-1100 stuff (in
cx88-cards.c etc.) and trying to add applicable data, but with my level of
knowledge that was bound to fail. The code didn't compile...

I'm open to any suggestions. The computer with the card can be
reinstalled, tweaked, whatever -it is
dedicated for this purpose.

Actually, I might have to make major upgrades on it later on: it's got the
notorius VIA -chipset and the processor might be too slow (Athlon@900MHz).
I've had a couple of severe (reinstall-type) freezes -apparently VIA is to
blame. In Windows, the Athlon can't quite handle the live viewing - I
thought this was a so called 'full featured' card???

Anyway -let's get this beast running!
