[pvrusb2] New Snapshot Report ....getting closer

Sat Mar 25 10:53:23 CST 2006

Hello all,

This is just a report .... I know work is in progress on the driver to 
support the 2400 device.

Finally had a chance to try the new 20060318 snapshot on my 2040:2400 device 
after recovering
from a hard drive crash ( how old are your backups ? ).

Debian Etch - clean compile but modprobe complains 'invalid module format' 
.... probably my fault
for not compiling the 'debian' way.

Ubuntu Breezy - clean compile and modprobe .  Firmware extracts nicely from 
cd with
  "./fwextract.pl --driverDIR /media/cdrom0/DriverD2 " giving me :
   v4l-pvrusb2-24xxx-01.fw      8192 bytes
   v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw         262144 bytes
   v4l-cx25840.fw                 13837 bytes

   ... very helpful message "Device model is: Hauppauge PVR USB2 Model 
24xxx" confirms I've got
   the right firmware.  For Ubuntu, firmware goes to /lib/hotplug/firmware

I turn on the pvrusb2 , modprobe pvrusb2 and dmesg reports all is well as 
far as I can tell.

I try a cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg for 5 seconds ... which gives me an empty 
file.  Dmesg reports:

(note the "Warning : No decoder present")

Any tricks I'm missing ?

And what does that LED tell me .... firmware loaded, or mpeg streaming, or 
... ?
