Hello, I have cheap Chinese noname card with 8 Philips 7130 chips, without eeprom. It's dedicated to CCTV. Has no tv tuner, and I don't need sound. Card looks exacly like http://www.cn-dvr.net/products/enproducts76.html and AOP-8008A from http://www.bttv-gallery.de/ I tried modprobe with all posible (1,154) card types, and tested each with "mplayer tv://". Some of them worked "a bit" but image was unstable and colors were substituted. It's hard to describe in detail so I grabbed a few seconds. Image quality is unacceptable for surveillance purpouse http://bartoszcisek.pl/saa7130-sample1.avi (11MB) http://bartoszcisek.pl/saa7130-sample2.avi (13MB) My first thoughts were that there is a lack synchronisation, because image is shifted and moving. Card producer wrote that it has onboard x264 compression, maybe I use wrong codec for mplayer? I tryed x264 but it made only worse, there was no image at all. I've never done any linux driver coding. Can you please advise me how to start? maybe I don't have to code and it's just a matter of configuration? Below I submit logs from lspci, dmesg and mplayer. Camera is OK as I checked it previously on bt878A card. Thanks in advance for any hints, regards Bartek tower:~# lspci -vnn -s 02:0f.0 02:0f.0 Multimedia controller [0480]: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder [1131:7130] (rev 01) Subsystem: Philips Semiconductors Device [1131:0000] Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 17 Memory at e2007000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 1 Kernel modules: saa7134 dmesg: saa7130[7]: found at 0000:02:0f.0, rev: 1, irq: 17, latency: 32, mmio: 0xe2007000 saa7134: <rant> saa7134: Congratulations!
