Ok now something difficult Kworld DVB-T 220 - how? [SOLVED]

[Jykke]

I am on my way towards mythtv-box with gentoo on it. Bit by bit I am getting
there. However, before I start installing mythtv I'd like to get everything running.

I have Hauppage PCI Nova-T - no problem there got that one running with my left hand.

Now comes the hard part - my second card is Kworld DVB-T 220 and it is evil. One guy wrote
somewhere that he got one running under Ubuntu so I reckon there is a change. It's aDVB-T card
with analogue tuner as well.

lspci:

02:09.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7133/SAA7135 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev d0)

Following kernel modules at least sound related:
/lib/modules/2.6.15.1/kernel/drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa6752hs.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.15.1/kernel/drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa7134-alsa.ko

/lib/modules/2.6.15.1/kernel/drivers/media/video/saa7134/saa7134.ko

I'll boot and post what comes out of dmesg after each module...

modprobe saa7134-alsa:

I don't know what this alsa is looking in that card for...there is also a radio tuner there so maybe
something to do with it...

Ok here is the deal - I went to www.linuxtv.org and followed the link CVS/Mercurial
I heard that the card might possibly work with CVS version or git
kernel (whatever this means then)

the hg approach seemed to be the easiest so I just went for it (I assume it results in same files as CVS approach).

downloaded the stuff and it's now in /root/v4l-dvb

Ok under there I gave make and make install

Afterwards tried modprobe but it just refused to work got an error for Input/Output when giving the modprobe - the worst thing was
that Nova-T would not load the module either - similar error.

Here some bits and pieces:

I am pretty sure I am doing something fundamentally wrong maybe in extracting them, maybe with location something since the Nova-T gives the same error and I know it should work 100% - so tips are greatly appreciated

[Jykke]

after this make in /usr/src/linux and make modules_install seemed to be the most intelligent thing
to do so I got my original cx88 modules working for Nova-T at least - is there another way of getting rid
of such modules and returning old ones after such mistrials?

[Jykke]

I got it running it seems - I'll try to sum it up later for those whom it may concern
'Till then I can say it wasn't easy and most instructions caused more harm than good...

[rufnut]

[Jykke]

Ok here is a short walk through if somebody gets lucky and googles his way here.
I wasn't so lucky and hardly googled anywhere. It wasn't until I started with gentoo
before this thing seemed possible.

Ok here is a short description if somebody should google here one day...

I never found one for this card when I was yearning and burning for it.



I followed part of the howto here: http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Gentoo_DVB_Treiber

My kernel is 2.6.15





Variation B is the relevant approach here since kernel drivers do not work with this card.

The most important thing is thus to disable DVB for Linux support from Kernel

Of the rest I don't know many of them were activated in my kernel anyway.

Code maturity level options --->
[*] Prompt for development and incomplete code / driver
[*] Select only drivers expected to compile cleanly

Loadable module support --->
[*] Enable loadable module support
[*] Module unloading
[*] Automatic kernel module loading

Device Drivers --->
Generic Driver Options --->
[*] Select only drivers that don't need compile-time external firmware
[*] Prevent firmware from being built
<M> Hotplug firmware loading support

Block Devices --->
<*> RAM disk support
[*] Initial RAM disk (initrd) support

Input Device Support --->
<M> Event Interface (i.e. necessary for included IR-Receiver of the Hauppauge Nexus)

Character Devices --->
Serial Drivers -->
[ ] 8250/16550 and compatible serial support (or as module, only necessary for LIRC)
[*] Legacy (BSD) PTY support
<M> /dev/nvram support
<M> Enhance Realtime Clock support

I2C support --->
<M> I2C support
<M> I2C device interface

I2C Algorithms --->
<M> I2C bit-banging interfaces
<M> I2C PCF 8584 interfaces

Multimedia Devices --->
<M> Video For Linux aktivieren

Digital Video Broadcasting Devices --->
[ ] DVB For Linux

File Systems --->
<*> Kernel automounter version 4 support (also supports v3)

Pseudo filesystems -->
[*] /proc file system support
[*] Virtual memory file system support (former shm fs)
[*] /dev/pts file system for Unix98 PTYs

Now this is the very evil part - I did all I could but did not find an elegant solution.
I formerly had DVB for linux activated so pcimodules command (emerge pciutils)
spill out something like:

cx8800
cx88-blackbird
cx88-dvb

Even after recompiling without DVB for linux support!!!
there is a command somewhere in gentoo installation guide find etc. etc. how to find available modules.

I found out that I still had these dvb-modules under /lib/modules/kernel/drivers or something, nevermind
how I made make clean or make distclean in kernel source directory. Finally sick and tired of the whole
bother I just made a rm -rf on /lib/modules/kernel-2.6.15.1/drivers directory - probably backing it up first
is a better idea and if someone knows a better way to get rid of these modules obsolete old modules an advice
would be appreciated. Part of the old ones were namely (lirc_serial stuff or something) were causing warnings
during kernel compilation since some of these stuff got deactivated that I had when I followed the howto.

Anyway at this point make kernel for new, make modules_install and restart. Afterwards pcimodules command
should not suggest any "dvb" modules nor should you find any "dvb" modules under /lib/modules/ tree.
It is normal to have some of these tv card or video4linux modules available in my case saa7134.ko and cx8800.ko etc.

Ok, so far?

Afterwards one goes for the www.linuxtv.org there under CVS/Mercurial one finds instructions for fetching the
stuff with mercurial (here emerge mercurial) then hg clone http:// something ...

I recommend not to emerge the v4l-dvb-cvs build as the aforementioned howto says - it just made me go around another
unnecessary loop - use mercurial repository.

enter new v4l-dvb directory

make
make install

afterwards you should have again "dvb" modules available again (pcimodules command or the nice find command should give an idea)

modprobe evdev and
modprobe saa7134-dvb

check dmesg if you wish...you should have /dev/dvb/adapter0/ directory now.

Easy checks to do - emerge kaffeine with USE="dvb" and some other parameters so that you get the dvb icon.
When you start it should ask you about your adapter and location - you can tune the channels and it should all work.
Alternatively dvb-apps from www.linuxtv.org tzap command and mplayer should help you find out that the card works

As for the analogical tuner of the card - I just emerged tvtime chose PAL and was it "composite" (not television as source" and started
tuning - worked also brilliantly. Only bother: until now I don't get the sound out from the sound card for analogical tuner (only for dvb-t). It comes
out of the outlet of the card though, which is supposed to be connected to mic of the soundcard...This I need to figure out. I have a recollection that in
windows it wasn't necessary to plug this cable - everything worked through soundcard. I think I read somewhere that this is tvtime so beats me...

Remote controller is said not to work but I don't know - haven't tried it since I have hauppauge nova-t where it works like a toilet in a train so none of me headaches.

[Slammer]

Success!!!

I confirm that this card works very well with kernel 2.6.16-gentoo-r8 and CVS/Mercurial modules (still no driver in official kernel)

In windows works tooooo bad, but in linux works excelent!

Kworld DVB-T 220 is supported from official kernel 2.6.17
(Only radio has some problems....)

I've installed a DVB-T 220 in my EN12000 running kernel 2.6.17-r8

Unfortunately MythTv generates a black screen for a while when selecting "see tv". When it returns a have a bunch of tripple lines saying:

Mythsocket(82e8ba8:-1) writeStringList: Error, called with unconnected socket.
Mythsocket(82e8ba8:-1) readStringList: Error, called with unconnected socket.
RemoteEncoder::SendReceiveStringList(): No Response

In the backend console I'm told that TVRec(1) is switching from None to WatchingLiveTV followed by something about Unknown video codec and some more about audio which I haven't tryed to setup at all.
In the end it changes back to None and says Finished recording Unknown: channel 1066

Maybe I should notice that I do have an antenna only at the analog input, and during mythtv-setup I've only bothered about this part of my card. During scan the board did actually come up with 3 channels which I suppose is about what I'd expect to get in this area.

But how do I proceed from here. What am I supposed to see in lsmod, dmesg etc.
How do I decide whether my problems are caused by kernel/drivers or by MythTv configuration?
Is it a myth backend or a frontend issue?

[Slammer]

First of all, examine your dmesg by executing "dmesg | grep saa71"
If the card is detected then the video0/vbi0/radio0 devices are registered.

[KimBP]

Thanx Slammer.
With xdtv I've managed to find a couple of channels on my analog input.

Next problem I wanna solve is audio. This isn't a TV problem but merely a newbee problem I've deferred until now.

Apparantly I have no audio at all, except for some noice when I turn on my PC.

alsamixer tells me I have a VIA 8237 card. So do `cat /proc/asound/cards`

[Slammer]

This card has two audio output options.
1. Using internal audio through PCI Bus (as second sound card)
2. Using loop connector from TV-Card's Line-Out output to Sound card's Line-In.

I am using the 2nd option, with the small jack-to-jack cable (included with my card). With this option is very easy to control the audio, as Line-In.
I tried to use the 1st option but I failed. I used the SAA7134 audio, as second soundcard without results. I didn't search this option further because I am already happy with the 2nd option.
