There were enough of these errors to fill up the scroll back buffer on putty.

I was wondering where I would go from here to try to help the developer's figure out the issues with this card. I've been diving through the code, but my C/C++ is 10 years rusty so it's slow going.

Oh, and the drivers were pulled down as most recent an hour ago.

Anyone that can point me in the right direction, I would appreciated it, I have no problem getting my hands "dirty".

Thanks.

Dustin Coates

There were enough of these errors to fill up the scroll back buffer on putty.

I was wondering where I would go from here to try to help the developer's figure out the issues with this card. I've been diving through the code, but my C/C++ is 10 years rusty so it's slow going.

Oh, and the drivers were pulled down as most recent an hour ago.

Anyone that can point me in the right direction, I would appreciated it, I have no problem getting my hands "dirty".

Thanks.

Ok to reply to my post.

I reloaded the dirvers with debug=1 again. And I am getting this in dmesg.

..

Here is my lspci -vnn

02:00.0 Multimedia video controller [0400]: Conexant Unknown device [14f1:8880] (rev 0f)

Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. Unknown device [0070:7801]

Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16

Memory at e9000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2M]

Capabilities: <access denied>

I really hope to get analogue resovled for this card..there are a lot of owners of this card, that can't use them for the purpose they bought them..

I.E. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=785476 ten page topic begging for support of this card.

Recently I've had to tell people asking for opinion's of the HVR-1800 to go with a different option since they need it for analogue support. Sorry for being presistiant but I read in another email on the mailing list, that presitiance helps. I've already offered several times that I'll help if someone can point me in the right direction..

Keep up the good work.

Thanks

Dustin

Quoted 6 lines

Hi Everyone,

Ok I’ve recently decided to start seeing if I can figure
out the issue with the Analouge, on this card, first my normal dmesg.

The analog encoder works fine for me.

In my case the basic analog tuner is usually /dev/video0 and the encoder is video1.

Launch tvtime (which opens video0) tune and everything is fine, then cat /dev/video1 >test.mpg is working as expected.

OK, when i load tvtime as tvtime --device=/dev/video1

I get the an error.

When i load tvtime as /dev/video0

I get a picture, but it's interlaced with a lot of static

Then when i try to cat /dev/video0 i get a Device or resource busy

cat /dev/video1, no errors . I play the file, and i get static, barley see picture, i can hear audio though.

Uploaded the video file to: (only 14MB) http://systemoverload.net/test.mpg

When i set it up in mythtv i set it up as an analogue card.

Setting it to /dev/video1 gives me these errors in mythbackend.log.

I figured out the format_by_fourcc errors are due to an incorrect compression format set in cx23885-video.c. Refering to this post,
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg29935.html. I made the changes suggest. The errors are gone, but video is black, audio is static on and off. Akin to switching channels when the cable is out.

So question. How would i go about finding the correct compression format for the HVR-1800. I think this would bring us one step closer...

Well, I've blacklisted the module, I'm tired of fooling with it, and not getting any help. Guess it's a $140 paper weight till sometimes gets time or cares.

Setting it to /dev/video0 gives me the errors posted in my last email.

To update myself.

I got it working in mythtv. Still *alot *of static. Hangs on changing channels in mythtv.

Errors in dmesg are these.

I belive if we can get these sorted out....it will be working good

I figured out the format_by_fourcc errors are due to an incorrect compression format set in cx23885-video.c. Refering to this post,
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg29935.html. I made the changes suggest. The errors are gone, but video is black, audio is static on and off. Akin to switching channels when the cable is out.

So question. How would i go about finding the correct compression format for the HVR-1800. I think this would bring us one step closer...

With a little tinkering i got rid of the forcecc error by changing one line in the cx23885-video.c, while keeping the video as it is...

diff -r cx23885-video.c cx23885-video.bak
148c148
< .depth = 16,
---

Quoted 1 line
        .depth    = 32,

Still same old static picture on the video (refer to uploaded video earlier post). Hangs while changing channels. Still getting the firmware errors.

Well, I've blacklisted the module, I'm tired of fooling with it, and not getting any help. Guess it's a $140 paper weight till sometimes gets time or cares.

Pity, I can run all of these things concurrently:

1. tvtime watching live TV (no audio though)
2. cat /dev/video1 >mpg (or using mplayer and reading the input) I get good video and audio
3. azap -r WABC-DT (and streaming ATSC or QAM).

I can't say I've tried MythTV, I haven't.
