Martin- Thank you for testing. Does this mean that using the dvb-pll tree, everything is working except for these two channels?
Yes it seams so.
I find this as somewhat of a surprise -- If anything works at all, I would assume that it should work just as before, 100%. Enough time has gone by such that the v4l-dvb master tree has changed drastically with regards to dvb tuner code. What applications are you using in your testing? What are the frequencies of these two channels that are giving you a problem?
I'm using the stable ubuntu dvb-utils package (v1.1.0-7) to scan for channels and gxine (0.4.4-0ubuntu5) for viewing. I have also used dvb-scan from the latest dvb-apps repo with the same results.
Basically I do
scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/au-Perth
Under dvb-pll it does not pick up channel Nine Digital and SBS. I've attached the output (dvb-pll.scan.1.out).
I also can't tune to these two channels using xine.
Under v4l-dvb this seams to pick up all the channels and I can view them using xine and mythtv (scan results in v4l-dvb-scan.1.out)
Would you mind testing again, by doing the following? 1) Start off using a fresh clone of the current v4l-dvb repository: hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb cd v4l-dvb make distclean make allmodconfig make make install reboot .... do your testing here, confirming that everything works.
Done this and everything is working fine.
Oh, I had to change the include "../../../sound/oss/aci.h" to "../sound/oss/aci.h" in
linux/drivers/media/radio/miropcm20-radio.c and linux/drivers/media/radio/miropcm20-rds-core.c for this to compile cleanly.
2) Now, instead of testing the dvb-pll tree alone, we want to actualy
merge those changesets into your current working v4l-dvb tree.
{from inside the v4l-dvb directory:}
hg pull http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mkrufky/dvb-pll
hg update -m
make
make install
reboot
.... do your testing again. I would expect your results from this test
to look exactly the same as the results from step one.
I get a merge conflict on dvb-bt8xx.c.
I tried resolving it (I attached dvb-bt8xx.c). This compiles but scanning for channels does not work at all. I probably stuffed up the merge.
When I do a dvb-scan, it seams to be picking up the same channel on all frequencies. I think it's not tuning and it's picking up the last channel the card was tuned to. Trying to tune to any channel under xine gives me "input_dvb: ERROR: Trying to get lock..."
The changesets in the dvb-pll tree really shouldn't stop you from receiving any channels. This is a cleanup that I would like to get merged into the master tree, but I need to know that everything is working as expected before doing so. Thanks again for testing. Regards, Michael Krufky
