hi again...

if someone has the same problem here a info how the card really works in my case.

first install the mantis driver, reboot.
than install the s2-liplianin driver, reboot.

tadaa... dmesg | grep -i dvb brings the correct output. channel scanning works. and live tv in lmce with vdr works, too ... all without cam module, didn't tested that because our provider don't scrambles the channels. (except of pay-tv of course)

if someone has a explanation for that behaviour i would be glad to know that ... or maybe some improvement suggestions ...

so long,
mannheim

ok that made thinks a bit more clear. though i still don't understand why than the s2-lipliani driver works for me in normale lmce 0710 environment?
btw, i tried to install the multiproto mantis in 2 different systems with lmce. the result was no dmesg output at all.

will give 0810 a try...

btw i recommend sw-raid in linux though you have a real raid controller like rocketraid or sth.

thx,
mannheim

i'm sorry cirion, but maybe i just understood not everything? comes that to your mind or is linux now a days self-explaining?
i'll try my best to get that damn thing running and your style like i'm so clever so you idiot lern to read doesn't really help.

ok, in conclusion: kernel is too old for s2-api,ok ... therefor also no need in upgrading vdr to 1,7, right? but why then do the s2 api drivers work (with little picture failures) in standard lmce 0710?

i've read in the wiki about upgrading the kernel. should i give it a try, and when yes, to which version might be the possibly best one?

thx for your time.

ok, but why then did a have a life tv signal withhin lmce / vdr ? ... thats the point i don't understand.
i even could change channels without a crash...

i've found a patch for s2-api support for vdr 1.7 ... is it possible to implement the 1.7 into lmce?

thx

hi again.

the jusst.de mantis driver doesn't install at all. compiling and make install runs well without interrupt or error messages. however, after reboot the card is only in lspci, no modules loaded or no dmesg output.

due to "Kernel 2.6.28 released on 24.12.2008 works with the mantis driver in the s2-liplianin repository." i wasted several days now.

installing with the s2api mantis driver the card starts, dmesg output is there and i can watch tv
though with some little picture errors.

so now what? the s2api in the standard lmce kernel (2.6.24 iirc ?) ? i don't understand this...

hope anybody could bring me light into the darkness

greetings
mannheim

yes, i'm only not sure how to get them.

for example i see "manifest" for a version 3 weeks ago. that should be eventually better.

however do i:

sudo hg clone http://jusst.de/hg/mantis/file/3c897a20ff8b
sudo make
sudo make install

?

thx

Hi again.

the situation now is even worse. after the last reinstallation of the system i don't have any dmesg output anymore. i reinstalled it several times

however, i try my luck with that on the v4l mailing list, maybe theres a version issue of the mantis driver.

the last time, cirion, i used the follow:
uploaded the channels.conf via webadmin, yes. and yes, it contained something. looked also in proper syntax compared "by watching" to the channels.conf seen in the wiki.
no ci module and only FTA (non encrypted i guess) channels. our provider don't encrypt in general.

however, will go back to that point if i get the card itself again in the system. lspci btw shows up the card.

greetings
mannheim

i installed the mantis driver now ... my first goal at all is a LinuxMCE 0710 in "productive environment"

so, i can record dvb stream to harddisc via dvbstream but vdr isn't working within LinuxMCE. i guess the channels.conf is the problem.

i created init data via w_scan an than:

sudo scan -o vdr -e 6 ini_tuning_data.txt > channels.conf

the result is only a black screen in vdr or the "no signal"-signal ...

edit: i just want to get the "standard" lmce 0710 running. not anything outside the normal ways or something. i only thought to myself if that doesn't work i'm not willing to just give up... however, just wanna watch TV with my MDs ^^

hi.

thx for the answer. i'll try the other driver.

the point is in the linuxtv.org/wiki there is a recommendation i thought for the s2api version ... maybe misunderstood, but it isn't also that clearly mentioned.

however...
i will write patches and contribute in 0810 if i can learn to do so in the next months ... will see

mannheim

thx for answer oliver,

i work my through v4l at the moment (recommendation from hari), which seems quite good information
don't ask me why i started there so late, i just didn't had the project right on my focus ^^

i hope i will find a way ... and write it in the wiki


sl,
mannheim
(i know, stupid nickname... ^^)

update:

i made a new kind of working channels.conf
if i test the card with kaffein it finds also some channels and if i watch tv i got maybe 3 or 4 frames and than the picture freezes.

please help. please!!

it's really frustrating...

mannheim

Edit:
I just tested to watch TV with a pxe booted notebook with the result that the pictures weren't green or purple at all. So this might be a channels.conf issue.
Will check the vdr-wiki again. Maybe someone have a dvb-c channels.conf manual for me?

Ps: i replied my own post because of the mobile browser capabilitites.

Hi Together,

i tried to solve my problem with the help of the irc channels, but without success.

Heres the Situation:
The Card was installed with s2-liplianin
( http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TerraTec_Cinergy_C_DVB-C ) and dmesg posts:

[  101.667604] found a VP-2040 PCI DVB-C device on (0a:01.0),
[  101.670427] DVB: registering new adapter (Mantis dvb adapter)
[  102.189326] mantis_frontend_init (0): Probing for CU1216 (DVB-C)
[  102.192819] mantis_frontend_init (0): found Philips CU1216 DVB-C frontend (TDA10023) @ 0x0c
[  102.192823] mantis_frontend_init (0): Mantis DVB-C Philips CU1216 frontend attach success
[  102.192829] DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (Philips TDA10023 DVB-C)...

scanning with "w_scan -fc -o4 > channels.conf" delivers channels.conf , which i used with in VDR.

Now i get a picture starting TV in the Lmce UI. But it's totally green and purple and with about 0.005 fps

I tried another slot in the server without any difference. The Hardware is a HP ProLiant DL580 G2 Server.
Btw MythTV didn't do anything.

I hope someone can help me. Pleaaaasssseeeeee!!!
