Hi all, (please don't use reply-all (huge CC list) - let's keep discussion on this on the mjpeg-users mailinglist, thank you) I've just uploaded version 0.9.1 of the unified zoran driver to the SourceForge download area. See http://sourceforge.net/projects/mjpeg for links on where to download it. *warning* before everyone rushes out to compile it, please note that it's not a stable release. Quite a lot changed since the release of 0.8, and nothing really stayed the same. It will need lots of testing. So use it in whatever way, but don't use it in production systems - it might crash/hang/whatever! *warning* (off-topic: in case of interest, I can release a new version of the current HEAD/CVS as driver-zoran-0.8.1). Okay, so what changed exactly (see ChangeLog for details): * it uses the new videodev kernel interface * it uses the new I2C stack * it supports video4linux2 * introduction of a new videocodec layer * support for the DC10old (overlay-only, MJPEG is nearly working) * support for the LML33R10 (new card from LML) * most changes for the DC30/DC30+ are there too, though I don't have such a card and can't do much without it. Final support will be added as soon as I own DC30(+). hopefully, MJPEG capture on the DC10old will then work too * card=X insmod option for zoran.o Basically, compiling & installing should be as simple as "make && make install && modprobe zoran", if you have a DC10+ or a Buz (these have subvendor/-device IDs). For the other cards, you'll need to specify the card=X insmod option. See the FAQ for details. To load the modules from the install directory, you can still use the update script (though I don't know exactly whether that still works after the card=X changes). anyway, only use the update script if you have to. Just use "modprobe zoran card=X" in any other case. Now that I told all this, what's my goal exactly? Firstly, I want this 0.9.1 release to become included in 2.5.x, and that requires a basic amount of testing. Releasing a new driver will let more people actually use it. So please tell me whether it works (or not), dmesg output, etc. Also, I'd be delighted if anyone could tell me what the current status of this thing on LML33 cards is, since none of the developers currently actively tests on these cards (we don't have such cards). Patches & all are welcome. Secondly, we've made so many changes lately that it's about time you all see what got out of this. In short: video4linux2 rocks! Conclusion: please test it! In case of problems, read the FAQ and/or send an email to Laurent, me or mjpeg-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Thanks, Ronald -- Ronald Bultje <rbultje@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Linux Video/Multimedia developer
