Hi,
I've tried to add an extra argument to gnutv to set the size of the dvb_ringbuffer via
DMX_SET_BUFFER_SIZE.
I have not really understood the difference between dvr and demux.
It seems that gnutv uses the dvr to read from the DVB card and then copies the content to a file.
I call
int dvbdemux_set_buffer(int fd, int bufsize)
{
return ioctl(fd, DMX_SET_BUFFER_SIZE, bufsize);
}
on the dvr (I think), but it does not make much of a change. The ioctl call returns success.
I've printed a lot of debug output (adding a few dprintk) and this is what I see when I run gnutv.
Now, I set the buffer to 1024 * 1024 which is nowhere in the log.
I cannot see in the log the 2 functions (demux and dvr) handling this ioctl call:
dvb_demux_do_ioctl and dvb_dvr_do_ioctl (I've added some printk as well).
printk("function : %s %d\n", __FUNCTION__, cmd);

My questions are
1) how many ringbuffers are there? 2 sizes are reported in the log.
2) in the log it seems the buffer is recreated every time.
3) why can't I see any call to dvb_demux_do_ioctl and dvb_dvr_do_ioctl?
4) ... what is the difference between demux and dvr? :-)
I'm using a Hauppauge WinTV NOVA T USB2, 2.6.24.2, letest mercurial source code.
