bttv 0.8.28, v4l2 and mp1e

[Stephen Davies <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,


I'm just trying to migrate from Justin's bttv2 over to bttv 0.8.28.

I'm using 2.4.10, plus Gerd's recommended patches, plus xfs.

Running bttv v4l2=1 mmap=1 sloppy=1

I'm making good progress, but have hit an issue with mp1e (I currently
run an older version of mp1e) -

It complains:

/usr/local/bin/mp1e:v4l2.c:160: /dev/video ('BT878(Hauppauge new (bt878))') does not support streaming/select(2),
/usr/local/bin/mp1e will not work with the v4l2 read(2) interface.

mp1e gives this error here:

        if (!(vcap.flags & V4L2_FLAG_STREAMING) ||
            !(vcap.flags & V4L2_FLAG_SELECT))
                FAIL("%s ('%s') does not support streaming/select(2),\n"
                        "%s will not work with the v4l2 read(2) interface.",
                        cap_dev, vcap.name, my_name);

I see in the bttv Changelog8 that v4l2 streaming capture was added in
0.8.16 with some subsequent tweaks.

Does anyone have any pointers to help me track down this incompatibility?

Does bttv 0.8.28 support select?  The code doesn't seem to set the
V4L2_FLAG_SELECT bit so perhaps that is the problem?

Any advice warmly received!

Thanks,
Steve
