 Posted: Sat Feb 14, 2009 9:35 pm Post subject: HDPVR and VDPAU support in MythTV-0.21 |
 |
|
I've created an ebuild along with many patches to add support for the new Hauppauge HDPVR. This in an analog device allowing recording of HD content up to 1080i. You can read about the device here: http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hdpvr.html. It can be ordered at a pretty great price on Newegg. The ebuild I wrote also adds support for VDPAU and other OpenGL playback enhancements for MythTV-0.21. If you haven't heard about VDPAU support, you should look into it, it makes a HUGE difference in playing back h.264 encoded video.
Anyhow, here's a link to the bug I filed for the new ebuild along with all the patches:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=259009
Quick and dirty HOWTO:
1. Create a local overlay with path media-tv/mythtv, e.g:
| Code: | | mkdir -p /usr/portage/local/overlay/media-tv/mythtv/files |
2. Add that overlay to your make.conf, as in:
| Code: | | echo "PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/portage/local/overlay" >> /etc/make.conf |
3. Now, copy the ebuild from above into /usr/portage/local/overlay/media-tv/mythtv with name mythtv-0.21_p19983-r2.ebuild
4. Copy all the patches in the above bug into the files directory you created above.
5. Now, build the digest for the ebuild:
| Code: | | ebuild /usr/portage/local/overlay/media-tv/mythtv/mythtv-0.21_p19983-r2.ebuild digest |
6. Now install:
Good luck, let me know if you have any questions or problems. It works awesome on my system. |

one question... which module are you loading to get the box to work..... i am having trouble with this...
i pulled v4l-dvb-hg, but I don't think that it likes kernel 2.6.28-gentoo-r5
here are my specs.... any suggestions?

You have to build the HD-PVR module from source and then install it. The module is named, aptly enough, hdpvr  . The instructions on building from source are here:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_HD-PVR
Specifically:
| Code: |
emerge mercurial
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
cd v4l-dvb
make
make install
|
If compilation and installation succeeded, it should be possible to load the HD-PVR driver with:
As for the kernel version, I built mine against 2.6.27-gentoo-r10. I don't have any experience using it on your kernel version. Do you get errors while trying to build it or modprobe it ? |

I've used the hdpvr module from 2.6.27 to 2.6.30 and have no problem building it. I did have to make a few tweaks to get it work well though, such as making spdif the default audio input and AC3 the default audio codec. I also wrote a little command line program to record that restarts the device anytime there is a pause in the data input, which not only occurs when changing channels but also when a station changes audio output. Oh, and it is in the V4L trunk now.

| Interesting. I haven't really had many problems with it. Maybe once or twice in the last few months it seemed to lock up (driver support is still very beta, so it doesn't really bother me). Had to turn off the HD-PVR and reboot the machine to get things going again. Though I have 2 HD-PVRs set up and am recording more often than I'm not, so that's a lot of use... . |

For me the machine would go dark when a high def station such as CNN went to a commercial, or when I switched channels when I used it to watch live tv. I had a thread on avsforum if your interested in some of the things I tried.

| Wow, that's great, thanks for sending that thread over, pretty cool stuff. I'm pretty happy with the way I have it now, but if I have problems, I definitely may try out what you did. |

here is another question about this little guy that has been bothering me, is there a way to have it play live... ie
** CABLE BOX **
|
|
|
**HD-PVR** -------- **PC** (SAME LIVE OUTPUT THAT TV IS GETTING)
|
|
|
**TV**
I know the crappy windoze software offers this feature, but i didnt know if our community has something similar. |

Mythtv might have that feature by now, I just use mplayer to play the recording file a few seconds after the recording starts.

That error usually means that the module was compiled for a different kernel.

I agree with EzInKy. If you had the hdpvr source checked out, tried a build, failed, then switched kernels, this would definitely happened as it happened to me several times before I figured it out. I believe from the 'hdpvr' source directory you can type
If it doesn't work from there, try:
| Code: |
cd hdpvr/v4l
make distclean
|
Then try following the build instructions again. If that doesn't work, you can always completely remove the hdpvr source directory and start from scratch.
Let us know how the build goes. |

(i also pasted the whole build)
http://pastebin.com/f21e9eded
I am not exactly sure why this is... as you can see, I built it with the right kernel, and all the versions match.. the only thing I see that is weird is that "VIDEO_PXA27x: Requires at least kernel 2.6.29"... I can push forward on kernel versions to see if it will work with a later version, but I am not sure that is going to help. I am still open to suggestions =)
EDIT: I am redoing some stuff to see if this will work....

That's odd. I don't think there's any advantage to doing an 'emerge -e system' as it probably has nothing to do with that. What I'm curious about is you said you had previously emerged v4l-dvb-hg. I'm wondering if that is conflicting with the driver you're now trying to install. Note in the dmesg output you had:
| Code: |
[ 3195.852575] v4l1_compat: module is already loaded
[ 3195.853999] videodev: exports duplicate symbol video_unregister_device (owned by kernel)
[ 3195.854853] v4l2_common: Unknown symbol v4l2_device_register_subdev
[ 3195.856324] hdpvr: Unknown symbol v4l2_device_disconnect
[ 3195.856416] hdpvr: Unknown symbol v4l2_device_register
[ 3195.856689] hdpvr: Unknown symbol v4l2_device_unregister
|
The key line that's giving me this hint is the "videodev: exports duplicate symbol video_unregister_device". Makes me think you have the same driver installed or something. I'd try removing that first via:
| Code: |
emerge --unmerge v4l-dvb-hg
|
Also, you might do a:
To see if maybe it's already been modprobed or something. If so, you probably want to do a rmmod on that module first.
Then I'd try going into the hdpvr source and trying the steps again. Maybe the modprobe will work then. If not, we'll try something else . |

Also, I looked at the pastebin output, and saw lots of warnings like:
| Code: |
#WARNING: /v4l-dvb/v4l/au8522: 'au8522_attach' exported twice. Previous export was in vmlinux
#WARNING: /v4l-dvb/v4l/dib3000mc: 'dib3000mc_attach' exported twice. Previous export was in vmlinux
#WARNING: /v4l-dvb/v4l/dib3000mc: 'dib3000mc_i2c_enumeration' exported twice. Previous export was in vmlinux
#WARNING: /v4l-dvb/v4l/dib3000mc: 'dib3000mc_set_config' exported twice. Previous export was in vmlinux

It looks like those things may already be built into your kernel. Did you recompile a custom kernel, or are you just using genkernel ? If you did a custom compile, it may be that the stuff you built into the kernel is causing it to get confused when it tries to insert the module.... |

i am not using genkernel or a custom kernel... just the standard gentoo-sources from portage.. =(
Hopefully though, whats running now should fix this problem...

I am really at a loss... here is what I have done thus far...
- I realized I had problems with my linux-headers not matching my kernel... so I advanced all to the same 2.6.29...
- some libraries were broken according to revdep-rebuild, so i fixed them (libavc1394)
- after revdep-rebuild, i built the custom mythtv overlay listed above...
- after mythtv, i pulled the v4l drivers above, and now....
| Code: | localhost ~ # modprobe hdpvr
FATAL: Error inserting hdpvr (/lib/modules/2.6.29-gentoo-r3/kernel/drivers/media/video/hdpvr/hdpvr.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
|
and dmesg...
| Code: | [ 2667.599692] v4l2_compat_ioctl32: exports duplicate symbol v4l2_compat_ioctl32 (owned by kernel)
[ 2667.600043] v4l1_compat: module is already loaded

do i need to turn off ALL v4l* in the kernel?
