PVR350 ivtv 0.10.1 - Help!

Hello list

Having just updated from the atrpms packaged version of ivtv 0.10.0 to
ivtv 0.10.1 and the output on my pvr350 has become what I can only
describe as a streaky diagonal mess (although the output is still just
about recognisable as for instance my x session or whatever I am trying
to play). Before the ivtv-fb module loads I have a black screen with a
few very thin diagonal blue flickering lines and with the saa7127 test
image is also distorted in this flickering diagonal manner.

Strangely downgrading back to 0.10.0 which was working absolutely
perfectly until I attempt the upgrade changes nothing so my upgrade
attempt must have updated something but I cant figure out what....

I think I am using the correct firmware versions (see below) and I am
not specifying any module options.

I know this is not a hardware/cabling as I still have a 2.6.18 kernel
with ivtv 0.8 which still works fine if I boot with this kernel.

any help working out why output on my pvr350 on 0.10.0 or 0.10.1 has
broken would be greatly greatly appreciated!

many thanks in advance

Jerome

Replying to myself with some more information to say it appears that it
is modules from the latest atrpms package of video4linux-kmdl which is
causing the problems

ivtv 0.10.1 works fine on my pvr 350 once I downgraded
video4linux-kmdl-2.6.19-1.2911.fc6-20070302-78
to
video4linux-kmdl-2.6.19-1.2911.fc6-20061107-77

I hope this helps anyone struggling to get ivtv 0.10.1 working on fedora
core 6 - unfortunately this does mean you cant run the latest stable
kernel on fc6 (2.6.19-1.2911.6.4) as only the 20070302-78 version of
video4linux is available for this kernel on atrpms.

Can anyone point me in the correct direction to figure out what isn't
working between ivtv 0.10.1 and the modules in the video4linux-kmdl
(presumably saa7127) as the saa7127 module seems to load without errors
but something is clearly wrong - or should I take this to the
video4linux list??

thanks,

Jerome

20070302 already includes ivtv, so perhaps you should try w/o
ivtv-kmdl? That's probably also the reason for the issues you
have.

Thanks Axel

I gave this a try removing ivtv-kmdl and running with video4linux-kmdl
as you suggested but video4linux 20070302 does not seem to contain the
ivtv-fb module so I can no longer run x on the PVR350

The ivtv-kmdl-2.6.19-1.2911.6.4.fc6 which does contain ivtv-fb does not
live happily together with video4linux 20070302 as described previously.

I therefore conclude there is currently no longer a way to run the ivtv
framebuffer on Fedora Core 6 with the 2.6.19-1.2911.6.4 kernel and the
atrpms package - is this correct?

Hm, something must be wrong. Or perhaps ivtv-fb wasn't submitted yet
to video4linux? Hans may know what's the background.

Currently, yes. Maybe I should rebuild older video4linux packages or
if the real issue is found fix that.

Looks like it. But, I'm sure that will be fixed soon.

Myself, personally, I took a completely different solution to the FC6
quagmire. I don't bother building the entire video4linux package. I only
need the saa7127 driver, so why do I need to build all of the other stuff?

I apply a small patch to video4linux's configuration scripts so that it ends
up building only the saa7127 module. And, I shove the whole thing into the
ivtv kernel module package, so that it contains all the regular ivtv
modules, plus saa7127.

Problem solved.

If anyone can make some suggestions as to how I can usefully determine
what is going on when both the ivtv and video4linux modules are
installed to try and establish the "real issue" or even what this is
then please let me know.

Is the problem between ivtv-fb from ivtv package and some other kernel
module? I would be very happy to provide any debugging information I can.

Jerome

I think in order to use the latest video4linux you need ivtv from the
trunk, not 0.10.x

By the way haven't said congratulations to Hans (and everyone else) for
getting inclusion in video4linux and thence the kernel - hooray!

ivtv-fb wasn't submitted to video4linux. Nor will it, since it is part
of the framebuffer subsystem, not of v4l. I hope that ivtv-fb can be
added in 2.6.22, but no guarantees.

The ivtv as is now part of the v4l-dvb repository should NOT be used
since there are no applications that use the new API yet.

Hope this helps,

Hans

Can saa7127 be added to ivtv? Otherwise there is no way to support
ivtv-fb anymore in a packaged form. The default kernel packages do not
built it, ivtv doesn't have the source anymore, and video4linux is not
compatible with ivtv.

I've rebuilt the old video4linux packages, but you must be careful
not to automatically upgrdade the video4linux package later on.

I get a "streaky diagonal mess" any time I unload and reload the ivtv
module without rebooting my computer. To fix it, I blindly navigate
through the mythfrontend menu and either hit "watch TV" or go into the
recordings and start playing the first thing on the list. Once it uses
the PVR-350 MPEG output, it somehow fixes the framebuffer output. No
idea why that is or how to fix it, but it's worth a shot if it solves
your problem.
