Comment 50 for bug 439163

Hi

In order to resolve this issue for you a few older patches and the change noted
by Gunni above is now available here:

http://hg.kewl.org/v4l-dvb-fixes/

I will try and give a brief outline of how you install this but please get back to
me if anything is needs better clarification else fixing.

For the record, it would appear that applications using the legacy API were not
affected by this but those which now use the S2API have had fault. A wild guess
is that previously the reset operation which succeeded now fails due to some
timing issue. It's hard to say but the diagnosis look reasonable.

On the HVR-1300 I have verified that MPEG encoding, analogue input and DVB-T
all work with the changes. I have not tested analogue TV nor FM radio as yet.
In the latter above there is also issue with cx88_alsa but that's another story...

I have at hand an HVR-4000 which this will also affect but have no chance to
test this since it's in a reasonably stable and working mythtv setup. I will only
test that later in the week.

Anyhow, now the details:

To install this repo on ubuntu you would do something like this.

1. install build-essential mercurial
2. hg clone http://hg.kewl.org/v4l-dvb-fixes/
3. rm -Rf /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/drivers/media/
4. cd v4l-dvb-fixes
5. make
6. make install
7. reboot

This is a basic outline and I said above I can expand on it where you have
any difficulty.

Good luck.
