[linux-dvb] Another Twinhan VP20310 problem: me too!

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

 



Hi Manu, Joel,

I have exactly the same problem with my TwinHan VP2031 as Joel (Fedora Core
4, kernel 2.6.14). Tuning and zapping now work, I find all channels (thanks
for the czap -r switch info!), but signal is garbled (loads of green
squares, very occasionally a second or so with some recognizable images in
between the green). I use dvb-kernel modules compiled from fresh cvs source
code.

Have been struggling with this for weeks now, and am happy to find a few
shoulders to cry on ;-) Just kidding, this email list is great and you all
are very helpful.

I mailed Joel directly yesterday, and he forwarded me the TarBall that Manu
Abrahams sended him today
(cgi-bin-hgwebdir-cgi-v4l-algo-test-675755d11eb2.tar.bz2). I am also living
in the Netherlands, and even use the same cable provider as Joel (Casema).

I compiled the tarbal, which works fine, but when first removing and then
modprobing the modules I get loads of error messages (see below, also
dmesg). Joel just emailed me he got the same (lack of) results. Do we
compile against the wrong kernel? Any ideas? I'd love to start using this
card, and hate having to capitulate and install Windoze...

Thanks for looking into this!

Cheers,

Bas

You would require this one.

This is probably fixed in the v4l-algo test tree.. But unfortunately my
link is down (on dialup right now) and hence will not be able to access
the repo. (It's holidays here and the ISP does not have tech. people to
fix it) I will send you a tarball of the tree, in case you can test it out.

To make this work you need not move the card specific application of
these parameters globally to all cards. The reason being that 
individual modules loose the capability of changing this option as all 
cards will be affected in the very same manner.

As i said earlier, i am against this patch.

The same feature can be achieved, without touching all modules .. You
can see how the very same can be achieved without stirring up so much.

The overflow does happen on certain chipset's (chipset quirks ) or due
to PCI bus saturation. Where i have seen this issue is when using
multiple cards in the order of cards > 3. But even then the PCI bus
should be able to handle this bandwidth. since a transponder is only
approx 27.5 Mbps. Even with three such cards, data rate does not even go
near the actual PCI b/w.

The reason why it overflows is data is not read from the FIFO as it
should be and the PCI bus expects larger chunks. Another way of handling
this is to reduce the latency, such that even smaller chunks can be
handled. But even then for example having a motherboard with all
peripherals on the same bus can create problems, as data bursts from
other peripherals can create a substantial delay, if latency is set too
high.

calc_line_size would be misleading, since it is in fact creating the
RISC program itself.
IIRC, there is another function calculating the line size too. So you
have merged those two functions .. ?
Any specific reason why those two functions should be merged into one
function ?

IMHO, You shouldn't be sleeping inside an interrupt handler. Use the
tasklet itself, if you need to sleep, for a predefined period, sleep
within the tasklet. But i wouldn't advise sleeping there either, since
this will cause other *working* modules which depend on this also to sleep.

Such changes would require all 878 cards to be tested quite thoroughly.
Right now i can't test this part ( for the dst, since it is a bit broken
at present )

I would say that just,

errors > error_count,
do_operations would be sufficient ..

But anyway what's the idea behind reducing the fifo size if in case of
errors ? normally when we have communication errors , we generally
increase the buffer size, not reduce it...
