capture card

I have a KWorld/V-Stream TV883DVR-Pro which I picked up at Fry's last year. So far used it only for straight video in from the camera. For MythTV I need the tuner working.

Installed Debian, switched to testing, got kernel 2.6.15 and the v4l-dvb snapshot from 01162006.
Added a new card definition based on my experiments from last year and a little bit wiggle here and there:

        [CX88_BOARD_VSTREAM_883_DVRPRO_TV] = {
                .name           = "V-Stream 883DVR Pro TV",
                .tuner_type     = 39,
                .radio_type     = UNSET,
                .tda9887_conf   = TDA9887_PRESENT,
                .tuner_addr     = ADDR_UNSET,
                .radio_addr     = ADDR_UNSET,
                .blackbird      = 1,
                .input          = {{
                        .type   = CX88_VMUX_TELEVISION,
                        .vmux   = 0,
                        .gpio0  = 0x000004ff,
                },{
                        .type   = CX88_VMUX_COMPOSITE1,
                        .vmux   = 1,
                        .gpio0  = 0x000007fa,
                },{
                        .type   = CX88_VMUX_SVIDEO,
                        .vmux   = 2,
                        .gpio0  = 0x000007fa,
                },{
                        .type   = CX88_VMUX_CABLE,
                        .vmux   = 3,
                        .gpio0  = 0x000007f8,
                }},
        },

I'm not sure if this is really a blackbird card, but it sure would be nice. The colors in tvtime are not 100% right yet, but it's much better than my experiments with the video4linux snapshot last year.

The card is working great with tvtime. No sound, though. However, in MythTV I can't get video buffers filled. whatever that means: "NVP: Timed out waiting for free video buffers." *sigh* It's getting late...

Update:
Looks like my card doesn't have a hardware MPEG2 encoder. Too bad.
