problem with latest v4l-dvb hg - videodev

Hi Mauro, Hans,

I've just attempted a new install of ubuntu, then downloaded via hg the current v4l-dvb,
and installed it.

Upon reboot, the boot stalled just after loading the firmware at something about incorrect
videodev count.

It would not boot any further, and I was unable to save the dmesg to a file (read only access)

I've had to reinstall ubuntu to be able to send this message.

Regards,
Timf

Hi Tim,

Yes, I discovered the same. A fix is in my tree (www.linuxtv.org/hg/~hverkuil/v4l-dvb) waiting for Mauro to merge.

Hans

Erm,

It would have been nice if you would have sent an announcement of that fix and/or atleast CC-ed [email protected], so that other v4l-dvb developers knew about this, I just spend an hour figuring out what was hapening and fixing this.

Well, I did. The pull request on the v4l-dvb-maintainers list was posted 2 1/2 hours before yours. But I probably should have made the subject more clear, it was just my normal PULL request subject instead of marking it as especially important.

My apologies for that.

I've just hit the same problem and just committed a fix for this to my tree (and send a pull request to Mauro) if you do a hg clone from:
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~hgoede/v4l-dvb

You will get the latest v4l-dbd with my fix included.

Hans
