I regret to say that the lack of news relates to lack of changes in the driver. I'd moved to a new town (I have almost no net access), and I'm trying to make a living (and to restart my studies) here. Busy with RL :-/

Sorry.

So whats happening?

I've got a SAA7131 hybrid digital/analogue here which, obviously, gives me nothing out of the box on BeOS... must give these drivers a try to see if I at least get sound out of it. Any progress since last year?

Sorry for the late response. Email me and we can communicate a tad quicker - kancept at nylonoxygen dot com. I've done more research, and no the oldedr ones on the G440MX chiposet don't have FM, BUT the new ones based on the FX5700 NVidia chipset, even though it has a digital tuner, also still uses the Philips SAA7133HL chipset! The eVGA ones seem the most feature complete as they also have an FM tuner. The others from other manufacs don't seem to have them. Here is an auction of a 5700-based one going on now:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Nvidia-Personal-Cinema-FX5700-Video-Card_W0QQitemZ8748721968QQcategoryZ40161QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I have docs on the eVGA one if you'd like me to email that to you, but it lists it's specs. All of these 5700 ones I'm finding say they need a 300W PSU. I only use small PSUs (the machine it'd go in has a 120W), but I may get one and give it a try none the less. Gotta sell this ATI 8500DV off and I'll get a personal cinema one- those eVGA ones. If it doesn't work, I'll shoot it down to you for a dev card, plus it's an awesome gaming card, and works well in BeOS. The machine I'd put it in uses laptop components so maybe it'll ahve the juice they think a normal user wouldn't have in reserve. But shoot me an email, lemme know what you think, and if you need one. :-)

> Basically it's my card with the Philips analog tuner on it. All new ones have gone digital.

If by "gone digital" do you mean that they are only meant for Digital TV (DVB-T/S/C, ATSC) signals... then yes, those are out of my league. But...
If you just mean that they have a digital ("Silicon") tuner instead of an analog one... then they still fall in my range of work. So be sure to not to rule out a card only because it uses a silicon tuner (like, for example, the FlyTV Platinum series, SAA7135 based, by LifeView Inc). In fact, silicon tuners are supposedly better than the analog ones (less power dissipation, more accurate/faster tunning, etc). There are even hybrid, "Combi-Tuners" like Philips's FCV1236D out there that do both analog and DTV.

> (eVGA) Personal Cinema review:

Oh boy... Looks like the best card for any BeOS user, even more so if we get the SAA713x kicking :-)
Some things called my attention, and you may want to investigate them before buying:
a) Does it lacks FM support?.
b) why the analog connection *into* the sound-card? The SAA7133 is supposedly capable of doing ADC and trasferring the resulting audio data through the PCI bus. Could it be that the external audio lines are not routed to the SAA7133 chip?, or is it just poor driver support perhaps?

Oh yeah... and don't forget to get the breackout box :-)
Please remember to email me the output of "listdev" if you get one of these installed. TIA.

Well, if you'd asked a few years ago when I had over 8 of them here, I would have sent you one. :-)

As for what they go for, under $50 is the norm:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8740031805&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

They go by the moniker "Personal Cinema" and you have to get the GF4 440MX based ones. Basically it's my card with the Philips analog tuner on it. All new ones have gone digital. I had one of these, and sold it. It didn't have the breakout box included, so I'd get one this time making sure I can actually GET one this round. Here are some links to them for your perusal. The NVidia graphics chips works awesome under BeOS already. So it'd just be a matter of getting the tuner to work. I'm not so concerned with the VIVO or breakout box part. I gotta sell this ATI AIW 8500DV now, since I bought it and it's horrifically (ie. NIL) supported in BeOS. Those NVidias are back on my list. If I find a few cheap, I'll pick em up and send one to you, no probs. So long as you keep developing for it :-D

Four BTs? Grrr...
I couldn't find a BT8x8 based one, that's why I ended with the crapiest SAA713x based one. Can you belive that I've paid U$D 85 for it a year and a half ago? Now they are at half that price down here, and one can even find BT-based ones... man... /me punchs himself in the face.

A GeForce 440MX with a SAA713x on it? Oh... Man! /me dribbles.
Sounds like what little Jhonny BeBits would have asked for a Christmas present.
You should buy two, and toss one in my direction :-P
(just out of sheer masochism: how much do they cost?)

Speaking seriously now: the honest thing to tell you is not to base your decisions, specially if they involve money, on whether I make, or not, any progress. Knowing me as I do, getting video working can take me either the next 3 weeks or another year :-/ (I was, for example, staring at the card during 6 months, then in a week I got what's published here).

I know that this is frustrating guys, believe me, it is even more frustrating to myself.
All I dare to say is... I'll try to make some progress. Knowing that this can become the most user-valued of my little projects should help to keep me motivated.

actually, I have 4 bt848/878/878A based cards here. Love em. Just recently sent one to a friend as they work so well. I also have an ATI Radeon 8500DV that has a digital tuner on it. Had an NVidia Personal Cinema that has the very chiipset this driver is for, but sold it a few days before this driver was released (see previous posting here).

I would gladly buy another NVidia Personal Cinema to help test the driver and such. I love to see things progress. Just wanted to see if I should be purchasing one yet or not. I just let an auction go today with one with the Philips analog tuner on it. It is based on the core that I already run in a box here, the GeForce 440MX. Good card, great support in BeOS.

But let me know if I should get one to help test it. Or if you'll be busy and having it sit on hold. Just wanted to check in. Thanks for the update!

To be prefectly honest: there hasn't been any substantial progress (code-wise) over what's published already.

I have other small personal projects and tend to "focus shift" between them. This kind of comes with my personality, sorry.

But... as I'm one of the most interested in get this one fully working... one of my "end of the year commitments" is to dedicate my free time only to this one next year.

I regret the lack of better news :-/

By "video card not found" do you mean "Video Input: <none>" in the Media preference panel, right?
That's ok, there is no media_server addon for these cards yet :-/

> Please, help me find driver.

As far as I can tell, the driver on this page is the only one you'll find for BeOS.
It is far, far from being complete: only sound, and very few supported cards.

I'm sorry for the lack of updates to this driver. I've being working on another driver and, because of what I'm learning from that, I will surely rewrite this whole thing from start (which is a "Good Thing") before next update. Of course, that means it will take more time sadly...

I guess that you will have to wait :-( sorry about that.

Well, there seems to be several different cards named "Compro VideoMate TV Gold". DScaler, linux drivers and the Fly 2000 TV app all seems to support different "versions" of these cards.

If you can, try in Linux and/or with the excellent "Fly 2000 TV" and email me the details (works, doesnt, works with XX settings, etc.).

There is also the trick of using the RegSpy app that's included with DScaler:

Using that app you can see (some of) the registers that the verdor supplied app change when you switch, lets say, from TV to FM, or from Tuner to Composite/S-Video, etc. Also you can log the GPIO_STATUS register as it changes when you press the keys on your remote control.

That kind of info is the one you want to send me :-)

I have one of these cards. It's a Philips SAA 7133/4, I believe. Windows says these are its "Hardware Ids" (don't have Be on this machine at the moment):

PCI\VEN_1131&DEV_7133&SUBSYS_C100185B&REV_10
PCI\VEN_1131&DEV_7133&SUBSYS_C100185B
PCI\VEN_1131&DEV_7133&CC_048000
PCI\VEN_1131&DEV_7133&CC_0480

I have no idea how much the above info will help, but will this tuner work with this driver? The video works under DScaler in Windows, but the audio has never worked so I'm afraid if this card is/can be supported there might be an issue with the audio (has a hardware mute that DScaler doesn't support I think).

Thanks, and much <3 to you driver developers.

Just to let you know:

This new version is only a small update to support FlyPime 34 cards. Not too much more.
For the next version I plan to add support for a wider range of cards, including those with a TDA988x chip in the tuner (Philips "MK3 family").

For now at least some BeOS users will already be able to hear FM :-)

(i'm using stampTV)

@ tj81 (and some more words).

By BiPolar - Posted on March 10, 2005 - 05:22:41 (#16104)
Current version when comment was posted: 0.0.1

First off: thanks for the kind words!

1.- About this driver, BT8x8 and TDA988x:

- This driver and you:

I belive that parts of this driver will help in recreating the BT848 driver/addon. If coded right, the tuner part will be reusable (as a "sub-addon" perhaps) and whatever code this driver gets to interface the Media Server will also help there (either because it becomes "chip-agnostic", or as "sample-code" at least).

For the remaining parts... there is plenty of information for the BT8x8 chips, and even a BSD driver for it, so it is "just a matter of time" for it to happen.

- Can this be hacked to work with bt848?

Not possible. Or more accurately, it would require huge amounts of time and work from a very talented hacker (not me!). Doesn't worths the effort IMO.

- Is a TDA988x addon to the bt848 addon possible?

Should be possible (even tempting) to do in the future, even using the same code that I hope I'll have for my driver. But sadly its not possible with the current BT848 addon.

- What is the tuner brand on the Pinnacle PCTV range [...] and what exactly is the role of the TDA988x chip?

Best way to know the tuner brand is to see if there is a label/mark below the sticker usually found in the top of the tuner's metal case (totally digital tuners don't have that, only a couple of ICs and other discreet components instead).

The metal case of many tuners can easily be opened by applying some pressure to it. Then you can read (with a magnifying glass) the name of the ICs it has. That gives the definitive anwer, but its no possible for ALL tuners.

The TDA988x chip its a "helper" to the IC that performs the tuning.
From what I've gathered, it does the demodulation of the signal. It also allows you to perform "conditioning" (not sure that's the right translation) on the signal (ie, de-emphasis, gain adjust, select with audio signal to use, etc).

2.- NICAM and BeOS:

- About that "enthusiast" claim.

+ 30 lines for getting NICAM support sounds too optimistic to me. "A few 30 lines" in the proper places seems more realistic but... you (or I!) still need to write all the rest! I don't know how many, but they are MANY :-)

3.- [Editorial :-)] What's the problem?

You see, to write a driver for this kind of hardware (opposed to a sound card driver, for example) requieres you to read, and understand, lots, LOTS of things. To name a few:

PCI and I2C busses, TV/FM signals, TV standards (both video and audio), video-decoder and tuner chip's documentation, at least half of "The Media Kit" BeBook chapter, remote controls, etc., etc., etc.

Have I mentioned actually learing C++? ;-P

And that's only for one card! Ok, most of that also helps for other chips/cards, but you still need to understand how each card/tuner/model works if you want others to use your work.

It looks to me like writting an OS from scratch by myself. And I am, sadly, not one of AxelD clones :-)

Fortunately, I won't be alone on this in the future. I thank to those who already offered me their help.
I "just" have to develop my part enough so others can start helping me (or re-write my part :-P).

Ok. Sorry for the long post.

Current version when comment was posted: 0.0.1

This is a very necessary project for the Beos...tv support, in general. I've just bought two Pinnacle PCTV Rave cards off ebay for the express reasons that they were mono (beos could not handle the UK nicam stereo on my old 1998ish pci Hauppauge WinTV), did both ntsc and pal and were bt8x8 for broadest compatibility. They provide no tuner reception at all, under Beos 5 PE due, I believe, to the TDA9885 chip which, I think, governs the dual reception. Beos correctly tries to use the bt848 addon for the CN878 chip. My question is.. where does that leave me, in terms of this project? The chipset is bt8x8 rather than SAA713x, but the card utilises TDA988x as well. Can this be hacked to work with bt848? Is a TDA988x addon to the bt848 addon possible? What is the tuner brand on the Pinnacle PCTV range (I know the card is newer than July 2002) and what exactly is the role of the TDA988x chip? Is it some form of silicon tuner? Anyhow, I congratulate you on your foresight, encourage any planned collaboration for general support and want to reitterate that nicam decode support for PAL reception is an obstacle that needs to be considered. An enthusiast once told me that adding nicam support to the Beos would be about 30 lines of code.

Keep me posted!

Hehe,

good that we're thinking along the same lines then! If you want I'll forward the mails I exchanged with thomas to you. They have some useful information in them. Also nice to hear that you have real documentation, I was currently looking at unravelling the dscaler/linux code...docs all make it a lot easier, so I hope you are allowed to share them! It also makes it possible to eventually release this code under Haiku's licence(MIT) instead of the GPL licence the DScaler and Linux drivers use, which makes it possible(easier) to include the sources in the Haiku distribution, if they want it ;)

Hints to buyers of SAA713x based TV tuner cards.

By BiPolar - Posted on March 6, 2005 - 16:13:32 (#16079)
Current version when comment was posted: 0.0.1

A couple of hints to possible buyers of SAA713x based TV tuner cards:

Based on my personal experience and the info I got... I suggest:

1.- Avoid cards with the SAA7130 video decoder chip. Main reason is that it is the least featured one of the SAA713x family. It only has analog audio support (stereo for FM, mono for TV), so forget about getting the audio from the PCI bus, and or, getting perfectly synced (audio/video) captures with it. Guess what is the one i have? :-/

Aim at least for the 7134, but better go for the 7133/7135, because those have a lot of nifty features regarding audio (all kinds of sound filters)

2.- Avoid cards with a tuner block from a "not-too-well-known" brand. For example, information about TCL tuners was really hard to find for me.

3.- Avoid LifeView Inc. / Animation Technologies Inc. cards as much as you can. Reasons are:

- ZERO custumer support. Don't expect a reply from these guys.
- The remote control they use is... "curious". It works, but it is not comfortable.
- They are brain damaged enough as to sell totally different cards under the same name/model. For FlyVIDEO / Prime cards there is not known way to get, from the driver point of view, information about what kind of tuner is in the card (is it NTSC/PAL/SECAM?, which brand/model?). Only an educated guess can be made instead of automated detection.

In case you are going to buy a card made by this guys... buy instead one of its rebranded "clones" (from Genius, GlobalNet, etc, etc.). You'll save a few bucks in the process and only lose the fancier packaging.

Regarding the Radeon media addon, and a more general "video_capture" addon approach:

Quotting a DeuxEx character: "We were thinking the same thought". And more or less in sync it seems (I got my card in Jul 2004). I'll write to you in the next days about this.

About the hardware info:

It's a long, long story...
Good news: no need to worry about the lack of docs.
Bad news: I have to get confirmation about whether I'm able to share what I've got or not. It's uncertain to me, and I don't want any problems.

About your tuner:

Ok... it seems I have underestimated the number of cards that need TDA988x support, so I have changed it's "prio": I'll try that (with your help maybe!) before going for video. About your lack of current free time: I *have to* leave town for a month or two, I'll take the TV card and HD with me (to see if I can code where I have to go). Hopefully after that we can start to work together.

Later.

BiPolar,

maybe you've already done it, but: look at Thomas Kurschel's Radeon driver. It contains some code for the Radeon(I think All in Wonder or so) with built in tv-tuner. It's based on the work of Carlos Hassan and thus contains a media-addon for both video and audio. Lots of his code is reusable. Last year in August, I was investigating his code(together with Thomas) to see if I could make the code more general: to make it easier to add new brands of cards by for example clever inheritance. Again due to lack of time(and knowledge) I haven't done much on it since...but am planning to...(but after I've finished my studies). If you're interested we could exchange ideas on this...

also...where did you get the card information from? I got a datasheet for the SAA7134 from the philips homepage, but that doesn't include a lot of programming info. If you have more info, please let me know. I also see you're postponing the support for the tuner I have...if we work together on this we can work parallel without duplicating to much work! I realise you want to clean up your code, or get more things working first, but I won't be able to help you until end of April, begin May so maybe we can start collaborating then?

regards,

Tim

Roadmap (of sorts).

By BiPolar - Posted on March 5, 2005 - 22:25:03 (#16073)
Current version when comment was posted: 0.0.1

Just to let you know (so you don't hold your breath in vane), this is, more or less, the roadmap I plan to follow regarding the development of this driver:

- Extend the current "framework" to be able to support different cards.
- Make the FM/TV analog audio work with most cards with simple tuners (not TDA988x nor MT20xx).
- Basic video output (test app with fixed/default settings except for the TV channel).
- More work on video and TV norm settings.
- Make it a MediaServer addon (and donate it to Haiku in case they want it).
- InputServer support for the IR remote control (perhaps using the BeRC filter).
- Support for more complex (or digital) tuners (MT20xx, TDA988x, etc.).
Maybe I'll do this earlier, if the video part gives me too much problems.
- Internal audio support (audio over the PCI bus instead of the analog output).
- (In case I haven't died at an old age already) support for the remaining TS/VIP/MPEG/DVB stuff.

Please not that there is no time-frame and no promise that I'll be able to accomplish these things. But rest assured that I'll do my best, and in the (likely) event that I ran out of talent, I'll publish the sources at whatever stage I got so far, and call for help.

RE: Feedback.

By BiPolar - Posted on March 5, 2005 - 22:23:57 (#16072)

First off: thanks a lot for the feedback!

A reminder: please read the included "Readme.txt" before sending the card info. Specially where it tells you to do a "saa713x_testapp --reset" *just before* you do the "saa713x_testapp --info > Report.txt".
If you have fiddled with other command line options (or with the BeRadio addon) the "--info" output loses part of its value, unless you "--reset" the card first. Thanks.

Now, in order of appearance:

@Sir Mik:

Thanks for the feedback and the offer of help!

Regarding your card: as for ljr's one, I'm afraid you'll have to wait longer (haven't looked yet at the TDA9887 stuff your tuner needs support for).

Regarding the offer of coding help: I appreciate it, and be sure I'll bug you in the (not so far) future. For now, I believe, it is best if I can "play it solo", mainly due to the fact that the code isn't in its best shape (nothing too terrible, but not too nice to look at).

As soon as I make it less card-specific (had to do it to get something working before I gave up!) I'll write a little doc explaining how I think the C++ design for it should be, and then I'll gladly accept any comments/corrections/code for it.

What I could use already would be a C++ class mimicing the basic functionality of Delphi's/Kylix's TStringList class (to get/put card-specific data from/in plain text files). I really miss that one.

@matjako:

Thanks for the mail but... could you please check your MDR account settings? I ask because I got two copies of the same mail, but none of them had a "Reply-To" address, neither your email address showed up on the "From" field (just an empty "<>").

I've intended to reply to you but... to which address? :-/

I think I can give you a more or less usable BeRadio addon (and test app) for your particular card in no time.

@ljr:

Thanks for the report. Bad news: you'll probably have to wait more than the rest, because the tuner block on your card needs support for the TDA9887 chip, for which I haven't even looked at the datasheets so far :-(

I will contact you privately later on.

@frankps:

Thanks for the info. Regarding DVB-T (or hybrid) cards: I'll focus only on analog cards in the foreseeable future, mainly due to the fact that I think I've already bite more than I can chew (if you know that I mean) with my card alone.

Hopefully I'll be able to produce something that someone else, aiming to SAA713x based DVB-T/Hybrid cards, could base his work on. The SAA7146 ones are in the realm of Mad Scientist Entertainment, I believe.

@ beosfrance:

Mmm, 25+ years old brother is no good. Unused or otherwise :-)
Anyway... I'll file your offer for future reference. LOL!

@kancept:

Please see my "Roadmap" post. Short version: don't expect video until, lets say, jun/jul 2005 (no promises, I have to make a 1-2 months travel I can't delay much longer).

I just won this a few weeks ago, and never had in working in linux or BeOS so I sold it... 3 DAYS AGO!!!!!

I sold it to a friend and since I have the same card sans tuner, he'll swap me for a few, and then i'll let you know if the GF440MX with Philips SAA7133HL works. If you'd get video, I'll buy it back from him, or if you can give me an estimate on say crappy video, I can help.

Only found the Pinnacle PCTV MediaCenter 300i DVB-T card, which also has an inbuilt analog tv tuner. TerraTec Cinergy 1200 DVB-T is the only card available in Norway as far as I know, and uses SAA7146.

Found some supported analog cards listed on this page that might be supported:

Same as matjako, the board is viewed and seems to be managed but not sound/video.

Send a mail with report.

Good start !

Video Wonder Pro III

Hi, I have a Video Wonder Pro III card from Genius. It has a Philips chip labeled SA7134HL. The test app founds and initialises the card properly there even seems to change FM frequencies but fails to tune in - I either pick up white noise or some weird oscillating sound which changes its pitch as I change frq. Reading of remote key codes works fine, though. Good work for starters.

Have a Medion 5044

Nice work, although it doesn't work with my SAA7134 card unfortunately. I started to unravel the DScaler SAA713x sources some time ago, and wanted to start writing my own driver, but due to lack of time I am not far with that yet. After(or in) April I think I get some more time, so if you need help coding, I gladly assist! If you need someone to test for Medion 5044 cards, just contact me, I have enough time for that!

keep up the good work!

regards,

Tim
