Hi everybody, First of all big congretulations to all contributors for the bt8xx solution being part of Kernel 2.6.17-rc1. It can be called stable as I do not suffer any application breakdowns anymore after a 3 hours durance of video playback. I DID suffer those breakdowns applying Edgar's patch collection for 2.6.16, especially parts 3 and 6 who did not become part of the current kernel solution. This is no bashing attitude against Edgar's very good work, but simply a matter of testing and personal experience. The documentation fix I published here is based on the assumption that the TwinHan DST and Clones are the only proven exception in which card autodetection does not work in all cases. If you experience that your bt8xx card is not loaded automatically please drop me a note and I will add this specific card to documentation/bt8xx.txt. However there is still one bug in the driver: If my box does a cold start or a warm start, and I try to start an application, the following things happen: The first mouse click on a TV channel activates the relay of my Pinnacle PCTVSAT card. But the playback does not start at all, no matter if kaffeine, xawtv-4.0, MPlayer or xine are the explicit applications. In so far this IS a driver issue. A second mouse click on the same channel or a different one is neccessary to get the video playback started. But please notice: This error only happens once: after a cold start or a warm start of the box. My questions: 1. Is there anybody around sharing the same experience with another bt8xx card or even with the Pinnacle PCTVSAT? 2. Can someone having an idea about this problem please sit down and write a fix for it? (Edgar Toernig, Manu Abraham, Ralph Metzler or anybody else having an idea about this?) After this fix is done the driver solution can be called "close to perfection." -- Analog-/ISDN-Nutzer sparen mit GMX SmartSurfer bis zu 70%!
