Posted: Wed Nov 01, 2006 12:52 pm Post subject: MythTV 0.20, framebuffer and gdb |
|
|
I'm trying to make mythtv working in the framebuffer on my notebook (x86 model) and think to write a how to when it will work fine.
I've configured the kernel tu use vesa-fb and I've installed directfb 0.9.25. DirectFB works fine with links or mplayer.
I've installed QT-Embedded, but the ebuild need to be modified a little bit :
Add this :
find mkspecs/ -name qmake.conf -exec sed -i -e "s: -fno-rtti::" {} \;
at the line 62 of the /usr/portage/x11-libs/qt-embedded/qt-embedded-3.3.4.ebuild. This avoid using -fno-rtti when compiling qt-embedded (Qt/E) because if Qt/E is compiled with this option, we will have some problems when linking libs of MythTV. After you have to digest the ebuild as usually. I will make an overlay as soon as possible. Here's the modified ebuild :

Next I've modified the /usr/portage/media-tv/mythtv/mythtv-0.20_p11444.ebuild file, because this original ebuild doesn't allow the use of the directfb flag and doesn't allow to disable using X11. Here's the modified ebuild :

As you can see in the code, I've also write a patchfile for the videoout_directfb.cpp file. This patch change the declaration of the constructor of the DirectfbData class (to make it compile fine with gcc-4.1.1) and disable some keys definitions for Qt/E. Here is the patch which must be located in /usr/portage/media-tv/mythtv/files/videoout_directfb.patch.

As you can see, I must set the QTDIR in it. And now I'm able to make emerge mythtv (I've also have to fill the /etc/portage/package.keywords with the needed ebuild to make it possible) and portage doesn't try to emerge X11 or QT3. And it compile fine. I can launch mythfrontend with this command line :
mythfrontend -qws 1>/home/small_frenchy/mythlog 2>/home/small_frenchy/mythlog
But before I make an how to, I have some little probs
I'm not able to watch TV because mythfrontend say "DirectFB could not find appropriate video output layer". So I know this message come from videoout_directfb.cpp and .h, which is a part of the libmythtv. I'm not a linux guru (win32 developper, so sorry), but I think i'm able to understand the problem. So I've tried to use gdb to debug libmythtv. This problem occur when libmythtv try to init the directfb device, so I was thinking to put a break point and compare the init in libmythtv with the init in mplayer (which work fine) and isolate de differences. Ouch, I haven't find a way to use gdb correctly with mythfrontend. Once I start debuging it freeze the computer. I've tried gdbserver also and have the same problem.
So here are my questions :
- Does anyone have been able to use mythtv 0.20 in framebuffer by another way ?
- Does anyone know how can I use gdb with mythfrontend to debug the directfb output ?
- Does anyone wanna help me ? I've made some work, there is more to do.
Thanks, and sorry for my poor english |

I'm currently trying to debug with ddd (GUI for gdb).
Does anyone can help me with it ?
I invoke mythfrontend with in this way :
Code: |
mythfrontend -qws 1>/home/small_frenchy/mythlog 2>/home/small_frenchy/mythlog
|
from X. So when mythfrontend start in framebuffer, it "override" X... Any idea ? |

Another step done in debugging.
I've learn that there is a tool to emulate the framebuffer for Qt/E : qvfb... This tool is a part of the qt-x11 package.
So now, I've emerged x11(arrrgghhh that's not what I want ) and manually install qt-x11 to have qvfb...
So i've been able to use ddd to debug mythfrontend in framebuffer, now I need to debug calls to the directfb API... And here, I've another problem. When I launch "Watch TV", a directfb screen open and nothing more... Maybe the debugging stop the process by any way.
If anyone know how to debug directfb apps post here please.
See ya... |

Okay some little steps beyond. I'm now using ddd on remote computer, so I can debug libmythtv. I have a lot of work now to understand the mythtv's output method and the DirectFB API. I know that the directfb output in libmythtv is inspired by the libvo_driectfb from mplayer, so I will compare the DirectFB API calls. See ya |

I want to run mythtv using directfb (I'm building a gentoo-media-box) too, I'll try your ebuilds as soon as possible... ok I'm going to start an emerge _________________ Please EU, pimp my country!

Happy to see that I'm not alone
Let me know about your tests, I'm currently modifying the videoout_directfb.cpp to make it work with DirectFB (hard work ) |

At some point I'll help test too- though upcoming holidays don't leave me with much free time for much serious help I'll do what I can Are you updating your overlay? |

There is some problems when qt3 and/or qt4 are installed. Certainly environment probs around QTDIR and QMAKESPEC environment variable... So this overlay works fine only if qt3 and/or qt4 aren't installed. If anyone have a suggestion to resolve this (I'm not environment expert) |

Okay, it's more difficult that what I was thinking, I need anyone who can explain me the mythtv API calls. By now I'm trying to make it works with xdirectfb |

I am truly glad you are working on this. I have also worked on this (I however am not a programmer). I was about 90% complete using .19 (had it compiled and running but no video..I was missing a few things) but the latest sasc-0.6 seemed to work only with .20 so I switched to an X install for now. I also beleive mythtv no longer officialy supports directfb which is dissapointing. I been informed of this several times in the mythtv forums and mailing list of this while asking information on this subject.
About the API, you may be able to find what you are looking for on the mythtv developer mailing list or the mythtv developer wiki. There is also a great mythtv forum at mythtvtalk. Unfortunately there is not alot of other help I can give you except encouragement, I know there are others that look forward to this project as well. Keep us updated and if I can help in any way I will (I still have my notes for .19 and always have an extra box here for testing). |

Any luck at all? Any work lately? I was messing around with this, and I think you're onto the fact that the videoout.cpp file is where the bug is... everything else looks good.
Let me know how I can help. _________________ Support our troops. |

I'm sorry not to have more important tips for you, but I noticed you do
Code: |
mythfrontend -qws 1>/home/small_frenchy/mythlog 2>/home/small_frenchy/mythlog
|
I'm not sure the logging is recorded like you want, because it seems you are telling it to write stdout to mythlog and then overwrite it with stderr output (correct me if I'm wrong). If you want to "mux" stdout + stderr in one logfile, you should probably do
Code: |
mythfrontend -qws 1>&2>/home/small_frenchy/mythlog
|
Hope that makes your debugging life easier _________________ Cheers
