I'm using Debian's dvbstream 0.6+cvs20090621-1 to capture video and closed captioning to file.

If I tune with azap, dvbstream works fine, but I can't get it to tune on its own.

In the Debian source code, I activated DVB_ATSC by adding -DDVB_ATSC to CFLAGS in the Makefile.

dvbstream -f 645000000 -qam 256 -v 49 a 52 -o > test.ts

gives me the error "Unknown FE type".

Suggestions? Is this a problem with an API that has changed since dvbstream's last release?

If I change tune.h to allow DVB API >=3 major instead of just ==3, I get this (this is a very lightly patched version to allow 8 cards):

# dvbstream -f 621000 -qam 256 -v 8192 -a 8192 -s 6875 -n 10 -o:test.ts
dvbstream v0.7.01 - (C) Dave Chapman 2001-2004
Released under the GPL.
Latest version available from http://dvbtools.sourceforge.net
Open file test.ts
Tuning to 621000 MHz
Using DVB card "Samsung S5H1411 QAM/8VSB Frontend", freq=621000
tuning ATSC to 621000000, modulation=5
Getting frontend status
Event:  Frequency: 621000000
        Modulation: 5
Bit error rate: 0
Signal strength: 0
SNR: 0
UNC: 0

MAP 0, file test.ts: From -1 secs, To -1 secs, 0 PIDs -
dvbstream will stop after 10 seconds (0 minutes)
Streaming 1 stream
Caught signal 1 - closing cleanly.

So it tries to tune, and succeeds in a manner of speaking -- if I try to tune to an unavailable frequency, it will fail; here we can see it locks. However, the Signal strength is zero and the file is empty.

What happened with the ATSC QAM-256 tuning in between DVB API 3.1 and now? I'm running 2.6.32.5, with DVB API 5.1.

Cheers,
Dave



it's the usual debian idiocy to package only "official releases".
I refuse to release anything, so unless Dave does it you should use a fresh cvs checkout from sourceforge,
where the limitation was removed years ago.
