v4l-dvb - Is it still usable for a distribution ?

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

 



Hello List,

I have a Gentoo based VDR Distribution named Gen2VDR.
As the name said its main application is VDR.
Until kernel 2.6.33 I bundled the v4l-dvb drivers emerged via the gentoo ebuild with my distribution.
Now with kernel 2.6.34 this doesn't work anymore, because v4l-dvb doesn't compile.
Another problem (after fixing the compile issues) is the IR Part of v4l-dvb which includes an Imon module.
This module doesn't provide any lirc devices, so how can this oe be used as an IR device ?
Til now I am using lirc_imon which fit all my needs.

The final question for me:
Does it make any sense anymore to stay with v4l-dvb or do I have to change to the kernel drivers ?
The major disadvantage of the kernel drivers is the fact that I cannot switch to newer dvb drivers, I am stuck to the ones included in the kernel.

Any comments are very welcome

Helmut Auer
