 |
|
Hi,
I've got a stable 2.6.2 kernel and I also have an AverMedia DVB-T card in it, lspci gives me the following:
02:08.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11)
02:08.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11)
From searching the forums I've seen many people use the "bttv" module which seems to be a 2.4 kernel module. Under the DVB items in the 2.6 kernel there is a section for "Supported BT878 Adapters" but then it doesn't seem to list any.
Could someone please tell me if it's possible to get this card working on a 2.6 kernel and if so the steps they did to do this.
Thanks,
Joe |

I've just bought my card and im still in the middle of setting it up.
I have used that guide which helped me a bit....but here are a few other points to note
If you are running a 2.6 kernel with SYSFS (or udev) then the drivers wont work as it doesnt know how to create the /dev/dvb/ nodes. You must disable UDEV support from the kernel so that it uses normal DEVFSD support on boot
Also (assuming you run 2.6 kernel), when you try to compile things with the DVB flag such as MYTHTV XINE etc, portage will report a dependency called "media-tv/linuxtv-dvb" this is NOT needed for 2.6 kernels as the drivers are in the source tree now. To avoid it moaning at this problem, pretend to portage that you already installed it.
| Code: | | emerge --inject media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-1.0.1 |
or alternatively (be careful there are no other deps) stop the package from emerging linuxtv-dvb as a dependancy..... eg
| Code: | | emerge media-libs/libdvb --nodeps |
then you must download the linuxtv-dvb package yourself and go into the apps directory and make each application you will need (PROBABLY the following: scan & szap) and copy them to a bin directory in your path such as /usr/bin
If you still fail to get mythtv to compile you'll need to do a bit of a hack, i dont know how naughty it is to do this  ...but i had to
| Code: |
mkdir /usr/include/linux/dvb
cp /usr/src/linux/include/dvb/* /usr/include/linux/dvb/
|
I hope this is of some use to you...and others with a AverMedia DVB-T card.... i can tell you that i have got mine working to the stage where i can view channels and listen to the sound perfectly through mplayer...so everything is 100% working
Now im just trying to set up mythtv with DVB....ill update you if there are any problems i come across, and how or IF i solve them

The aver dvb-t card works great under Linux (I live in Australia and cant get HD to work, but thats another story..)
With regards to udev, you do NOT need devfsd, I run a UDEV only system and it works fine. The linuxtv-dvb-1.1.1 package comes with a MAKEDEV-DVB.sh script, which will create the nodes for you. (see http://linuxtv.org/download/dvb/)
BTW: the best software I found to use is GXINE (Xine-ui has no video for some wierd reason), xine comes with native support for dvb if the channels.conf exists in your .xine directory. GXINE has the easiest way of changing channels and not having to run "tzap -r "...." and redirecting dvr0 to mplayer.
I also tired setting up mythtv, but gave up for the moment (tis too much work). I just hope tvtime comes out with DVB support soon |

Thanks for the UDEV tip,
Yeah i really hope tvtime does come up with DVB support, tvtime i used all the time with my old bt848 card.
As for mythtv, ive got it going with 5 standard channels (im too lazy to add the rest yet)....but any channel with QAM64 is breaking up immediately and bombing out with mpeg2video codec errors |

Right, I just downloaded:
linuxtv-dvb-1.1.1
linuxtv-dvb--apps-1.1.0
I've downloaded the firmware package and emerge'd cabextract. After unzipping the firmware package it gives me a directory structure based off a "WinXP" dir. Though every .cab file I try to use gives me an error along the lines of:
| Code: |
Extracting cabinet: data3.cab
data3.cab: not a Microsoft cabinet file. |
So which cab file has the firmware in? I'm assuming it ends in .fw but that's just a guess too, what is the filename of the firmware?
I'm running a 2.6.6rc1 kernel too and according to the setup guides
| Quote: | Linux 2.6.x:
The DVB drivers are already included in Linux 2.6.x, so you usually
don't need this package. What you will need, hwoever, is firmware.
see below. |
and the README.btt8xxx says:
| Quote: | For 2.6, you don't need the latest bttv driver, everything is in
the kernel drivers. Please use 2.6.1 and above.
Build and intsall the driver like described in README. |
so I used the makefile in "linux-dvb-1.1.1" and is said to use
| Code: | The driver was built in /home/joe/dvb/linuxtv-dvb-1.1.1/build-2.6. Please use
/home/joe/dvb/linuxtv-dvb-1.1.1/build-2.6/insmod.sh or
/home/joe/dvb/linuxtv-dvb-1.1.1/build-2.6/insmod-bt8xx.sh
|
But when I go to build2.6 there is an insmod script but no insmod-bt8xxx script at all. Any ideas?
Thanks for your help,
Joe |

I managed to get the firmware called "sc_main.mc" off my Windows friend so I don't have to worry about that one anymore though I'm still unsure how to continue as I don't have the insmod script the dvb set said I should have.
Thoughts?

Well, I noticed that the build2.4 directory contains the ./insmod-btxx script so I copied that to the build2.6 directory though when I try to run it I get
| Code: | Inserting DVB modules into kernelinsmod: can't read 'videodev.o': No such file or directory

insmod: error inserting './dvb-core.o': -1 Invalid module format

|
Though the make I did in the build2.6 directory does contain these files. I have no clue what to do now. I do have hotplug compiled in my kernel :/

no there is an ./insmod.sh in the build2.6 directory.....
but really, i wouldnt use any of this
delete all that dvb stuff, and rm -rf /lib/modules/yourkernel
them just emerge gentoo-dev-sources ... compile the modules (AS GIVEN IN POST BELOW) that already patched into the kernel, exit menuconfig and do
make && make modules_install ...and install the kernel to your boot loader and reboot

Now once you compile as mentioned above and reboot, just type
| Code: |
modprobe bttv card=0x68 <<(this makes it a NEBULA type as thats what this card is a clone of)
modprobe bt878
modprobe dvb_bt8xx
modprobe sp887x
modprobe lirc_gpio gpio_mask=0xf00f0 gpio_lock_mask=0x20 gpio_xor_mask=0xf00f0 soft_gap=0 sample_rate=10
|
^^^ !!NOTE!! these gpio paramaters are very important and cannot be missed out, they tell lirc_gpio the params it needs to get the remote to work
Once modules are loaded 'dmesg' should show:
| Code: |
Linux video capture interface: v1.00
bttv: driver version 0.9.12 loaded
bttv: using 8 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture

please mail id, board name and the correct card= insmod option to kraxel@bytesex.org
^^ note that i contacted this dude and our AverTV DVB-T is now included in the new set of drivers, but for now it doesnt matter!!!

|
And there you go!! hope this helps you....cause it took me a while to do 
Enjoy DVB 
PS. I might write a full howto when i have some time but i have exams at the moment

Thanks for the help, that looks like all I need to know, one problem though
I emerge'd a fresh gentoo-dev-sources kernel which has given me a 2.6.5-gentoo-r1 kernel and under the Linux InfraRed Controller I have these options:
| Code: | x x <M> Linux InfraRed Controller
x x (2) Maximum LIRC devices
x x < > BT829 Driver
x x < > IT87 Driver
x x < > ATI USB Driver
x x < > MCE USB Driver
x x < > Serial Driver
x x < > SIR Driver |
So no:
| Code: | x x < > I2C Driver x x
x x <M> GPIO Driver x x |
The 2.6.6 kernel I had before didn't have the Liunux InfraRed Controller at all in it. I have managed to add every other kernel option nessecerry though like the i2c stuff, but I do not have access to add the GPIO Driver.
What kernel were you using when this option was made available to you? |

I solved the problem
I needed to add Video4Linux -> bt878 driver
Now I've rebooted and have the same dmesg as you do. Thing is I have no idea what to do from here, I tried playing with the scan utility from linuxtv but I didn't get much done. What do you do once the card is working?
When I did | Code: | ./czap -c channels..oxford bbc-1
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
4 BBC-1:578000000:INVERSION_OFF:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_2_3:FEC_NONE:QAM_64:TRANSMISSION_MODE_2K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:HIERARCHY_NONE:600:601
ERROR: cannot parse service data
|
I got this in dmesg:
| Code: | i2c_adapter i2c-0: sendbytes: error - bailout.
sp887x_initial_setup: firmware upload... done.
|
I just noticed that I do not have lirc compiled through portage. Is this required to get the card working? I was assuming this is just for the remote and was in the kernel already, I'll give it a shot anyway
Thanks,
Joe
P.S. my dmesg:
| Code: |

You should be using tzap ..for dvb-T cards
then scan for all the channels from your transmitter and pipe them into a channels.conf file for use with tzap
| Code: |
./scan dvb-t/uk-MYTRANSMITTER > ~/.tzap/channels.conf
|
then try to lock onto a specific channel (first column of channels.conf - case SenSiTiVe!)
Leave this tzap running in one terminal, and youll see if correct a FE_HAS_LOCK line each time
Then open up a new terminal and try and view the stream with dvbstream piped to mplayer as so
| Code: |
./dvbstream -o -ps -qam 16 -cr 3_4 600 601 | mplayer -
|
[/code] |

With regards to lirc in portage, you need to emerge that too, it just installs the userland apps for lircd irw irxevent irremote etc
Do it like so
| Code: |
LIRC_OPTS='--with-driver=any' emerge lirc
|
Note it doesnt install any drivers because you do that manually via the kernel so the ebuild just skips the drivers make stage in portage.
Also if you email me rickNOSPAM at packetoverdose dottt com i will email you my sc_main.mc because it may be that your firmware isn't right.

This is cool cause it allows you tou use the arrow keys on the 2,4,6,8 number buttons when in parts of mythtv, by pressing RED, and then you can go back to numberic mode by pressing GREEN |

Thanks, I can see it's nearly there now.
| Code: | status 1f | signal ffff | snr 8ba8 | ber 000002a5 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal ffff | snr 8978 | ber 000002c6 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
|
One last problem is that I do not have the dvbstream program :/
| Code: | | ./dvbstream -o -ps -qam 16 -cr 3_4 600 601 | mplayer - |
I've made the apps and main part of the linuxtv drivers and I can't seem to locate the file in either. Where does this file come from?
Thanks again, we'll make this into an informative how to afterwards.

Gotcha,
I was playing about with the CVS version and didn't realise there was a normal source version to download so I grabbed 0.5 from sourcforge.
Thing is when I go to the directory and type "make" it spits out error messages starting with
| Code: | gcc -I ../DVB/include -g -Wall -O2 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -DNEWSTRUCT -c -o tune.o tune.c
tune.c:33:27: linux/dvb/dmx.h: No such file or directory
tune.c:34:32: linux/dvb/frontend.h: No such file or directory
In file included from tune.c:41:
tune.h:5:34: linux/dvb/frontend.h: No such file or directory
In file included from tune.h:25,
from tune.c:41:
|
And in the help file it does say
| Quote: | Just type "make" to compile (you may need to change the path to the
DVB include files in the first line of the Makefile).
|
though the first lines are to the affect:
| Code: | # Delete the following line if you are not using a
# "NEWSTRUCT" driver. If you are using a "NEWSTRUCT"
# driver, it must be later than October 10th 2002
NEWSTRUCT=1
CC=gcc
CFLAGS = -g -Wall -O2 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
OBJS=dvbstream dumprtp ts_filter rtpfeed rtp.o
|
So I have no idea what line they want me to change but I'm sure it isn't the first one, what line should I change to get this to compile?
Thanks,
J |

If you still fail to get mythtv to compile you'll need to do a bit of a hack, i dont know how naughty it is to do this ...but i had to

That did allow me to compile dvstream and the program seems to work. Though I cannot seem to use it to tune in yet :/ I am running tzap in another terminal and I've tried the way you recommended and a few others ways the readme suggests but every time I get output similar to below:
| Code: | ./dvbstream -o -ps -qam 16 -cr 3_4 600 601 | mplayer -cache 8189 -

dmesg also says:

Which appears to be good news I guess. Any idea, or recommendations on other players that I can use to test it? I've tried gxine and copyed channels.conf into the .gxine dir but that just comes back with an error each time I try.
Thanks,
J. |

Mplayer is messy when exiting, make no sure other mplayer processes are running (ie ps -ef | grep mplayer).
Also the latest mplayer (MPlayer 1.0pre4-r1) and xine (xine-ui = 0.99.1 and the latest xine-libs from BMG - 20040408) should be able to view dvb channels without tzap, with commands like this:
- xine "dvb://Nine Digital HD" (for example) or
- mplayer "dvb://Nine Digital HD"
Assuming the channels.conf exists in the .xine and .mplayer dirs.
What error does gxine give you? I have huge problems running xine/totem/mplayer etc.. with XV extensions, I have to run use x11 else the player crashes. (e.g mplayer -vo x11 "dvb://Nine Digital HD") |
