saa7134 and manli tv card (in RH8.0)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hello, [2nd attempt to send this question :-]

I have tv card ManliTV with chip SAA7130, tuner M-TV002,
v4l2 patch applied to 2.4.19 kernel and "installed"
on original RedHat 8.0 (with 2.4.18-14 kernel).

I have tried all card=#, #=0..14 (in saa7134-0.2.6)
with no other additional insmod param. (specifying e.g. tuner)
and with the same result: No picture and, in some card=#
(in particular, card=4), only noise/sound (I can tune with card=4).

With xawtv (v.14-Feb-2003), I obtained no picture (black tv-screen),
I can "tune" to obtain either noise or clear sound of
TV stations which are available here in Prague.
The tv-sound appears only when I choose "TV" as a source;
xawtv starts as default in Overlay mode.
When I choose "off" or "grabdisplay", axwtv replies with an
"v4l2 i/o error".
Moreover, xawtv _always_ ends with such "v4l2 i/o error" message (?).

v4l-conf replies (with no error) that /dev/video0 is configured.

scantv replies always "no station" in all frequencies 
even when I can hear sound in some of them.

tvtime shows blue tv-screen only with the message "no signal"

mplayer 0.90.rc4 shows green tv-screen, says "no audio"
but it can tune the desired freq and switch-on the sound of
the corresponding TVstation. It cannot switch-off the sound
after exit.

I have borrowed an analogue Hi8 camera, 
connect it to the composite input of my TV card and:

The ONLY picture I obtained was with card=4 and mplayer
with input=2 (mplayer says input=2 as "TV", but shows picture from the camera)
[and no sound (I connected it into audio-input in my TV card 
and maybe I should connect it into the line input of my sound card)]

xawtv and tvtime did not showed anything with the exception
of their black and blue tv-screens, respectively.

I installed M$Win98SE and DScaler (v4.1.5 have support for Manli MTV001 card)
and DScaler (v4.1.6 have support also for Manli MTV002 card),
they both work perfectly (in M$Win :-(

Moreover, I looked into the source file of v4.1.6
in order to find some info about the tuner it automatically
chooses when one choose "Manli MTV002 card" - it is 
LG TPI 8PSB12D Pal B/G
but in the source file (which is originaly "taken" 
from bytesex.org/saa7134 linux driver :-)
it is written: 
TUNER_LG_B11D_PAL //should be LG TPI 8PSB12D Pal B/G
and I have found "it (has the same parameters" as tuner=29 
also in saa7134-tuner specifications in saa7134-0.2.6.
Hence, I add tuner=29 in /etc/modules.conf,
BUT with the much worse result than without this tuner option
(and with default tuner, i.e. Philips as I remember (?) ):
I am able to tune, but I hear noise only,
the picture-resilats are as bad as before :-(

Have somebody any suggestion?

Thanks
Honza <eisner@xxxxxxxxxxx>
