vbi problems

Hello,

I have problems capturing closed captioning while recording video.

If I record just cctext without recording video - it looks fine..

However recording video and cctext gives me broken text..

It looks like it's missing letters..

I tried various drivers version under various kernels (I'm using fedora)

Below are example how bad cctext looks like :

OUT OF YOUR SUITCASE,
BUT WE GOTTA
RU
ANMAKE SURE
THE SUITE'S READY.
WHEN IT COMES
TO PREPARING FOR A CLIEN
THAT YOU HAVE TO DO
WHAT HAS TO BE DONE.
SO IADE SURE

And here is the same channel cctext recorded on the second card with just
cctext being recorded

OUT OF YOUR SUITCASE,
BUT WE GOTTA
RUN DOWNSTAIRS
AND MAKE SURE
THE SUITE'S READY.
WHEN IT COMES
TO PREPARING FOR A CLIENT,
YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO BE
OF THE MENTALITY
THAT YOU HAVE TO DO

I'm using zvbi for cctext recording
this was recorded on 2.6.23.17-88.fc7 kernel (Fedora Core 7)

here is dmesg dump :

Hans,

I'm still experiencing same problems with 2.6.27 kernel

If needed I can provide root ssh access to one of my servers for testing/dev
purpouses..

Hmm, no one else ever reported similar problems so this surprises me. It
was tested pretty thoroughly at the time.

Can you try with the 'bleeding edge' driver? Instructions are here:
http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Download#Bleeding_Edge_driver

What sort of PC do you have? In particular, which chipset does it have?

Hans

It still the same thing - I used latest firmware and drivers as you
recomended

How do you test this?

Can you also try to do this:

In one shell run:

vbi -d /dev/vbi0

(the vbi tool is part of the ivtv-utils:
http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/archive/1.3.x/ivtv-utils-1.3.0.tar.gz)

In the other shell run:

cat /dev/video0 >/dev/null

And does this problem happen for all four PVR-150 cards?

If you still experience the same problems with the above test, then I'm
afraid I need an account. I'm not guaranteeing anything, BTW. VBI is
really difficult to implement and it's rather depressing for me to
still have cases where it is apparently not working well.

Hans

Hans,

My apologies... It works great with Your vbi tool - I did not know about
this tool.
I was checking it with zvbi-ntsc-cc...

And just for the records it was happening on all 4 cards (btw. I have more
then 1 machine with haupauge cards)

Anyway - If you need account with one or multiple haupauge cards
(pvr150/350/500 or hvr1600/1800/1250 and other ) I will be happy to give it
to you

Thank you very much for your help...

Best regards
Karol Zapolski

Hans,

I found 2 things that could be fixed...

1. When I run vbi - I see from time to time (but very rare) single
characters to be missing - it's acceptable (at least for me) - I used
following methodology :

- I'm using server with 4 low profile PVR-150

1st card :
- Start capture video on 1st card with cat /dev/video0
- Start capture cctext using vbi -d /dev/vbi0

2nd card :
- No video capturing
- Start capture cctext using zvbi-ntsc-cc -s -c -d /dev/vbi1

- comparing line after line on 2 screen sessions

2 More annoying - vbi stops capturing cctext after 20-30 min...

Any advices?

If you do no video capture on the first card but only capture with the
vbi tool, do you still see the same difference? In that case it is
related to the video chip that sometimes fails to find a CC packet.
Perhaps a stronger signal will help, but it could be just inherent to
the chip.

If it is related to whether video capture takes place or not, then
that's pretty much the end of the line. I don't dare touch that code.
The root cause is that I suspect a buggy firmware when it comes to VBI.
It seems to work fine for most people and I'm not going to change it.

Any messages in the kernel log? Never heard of this before. I've
definitely done long term tests with the vbi tool in the past without
problems.

Hans
