[not working] Conceptronic USB 2.0 Digital TV Receiver - CTVDIGRCU - Device Information

[Jelle de Jong]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 580 bytes --]

Hello everybody,

Apparently I was feeling a bit masochistic today, because I bought a new
usb dvb-t device with the hope it would work on my 2.6.26 kernel because
the 2.6.29 is extreme instable and my Digittrade DVB-T USB Stick (Afatech
DVB-T) (af9015.fw) does not work with mplayer which is a requirement for me.

So I bought a Conceptronic USB 2.0 Digital TV Receiver - CTVDIGRCU, but
it does not work. Would somebody willing to get this device working? I
can sent the device to you if you like.

The device information is attached in this email.

Best regards,

Jelle de Jong

Oops, it is not supported. You have hw version 2, supported one is hw

Hi Antti,

>> Add USB ID (1b80:e397) for Conceptronic USB2.0 DVB-T CTVDIGRCU V3.0.

Thank you for your reply, the commit tells me an other product and vendor
id, please see my attached device info in my first mail.

I got an USB ID 14aa:0160 Conceptronic USB2.0 DVB-T CTVDIGRCU V2.0 but I
have no idea what chipsets it contains. Could somebody extract the
drivers to be sure? (see my first mail for driver web pages)
http://www.conceptronic.net/site/desktopdefault.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=420&pc=CTVDIGRCU

Best regards,

Jelle

There is no drivers for device USB-ID 14aa:0160.

;
; USB DVB-T Adapter
; WideViewer DVB-T WT-225U

; The Vendor ID =14AA, and the Product ID =0226

Would somebody be willing to get this device to work with the upstream
v4l systems? I can sent the device to you. If not I can also return the
device back to the store. Just sent me an email.

Cheers,

I can try. At least some basic driver stub which just works is possible 
to do usually even without specs if tuner chip have one that does have 
Linux driver. Most likely it does have tuner that is supported because 
almost every DVB-T silicon tuner have some kind of driver currently.

Why your mails (CC'd correctly) are not arrived to the list? Not

I don't know, all mails I sent to the CC video4linux-list@redhat.com do
arrive at the archives of the mailinglist. Maybe somebody enabled the
mailman policy to not sent mails mails to both the list and the personal
emails. Somebody knows what goes on?

Hi Antti,

Sorry for the delay, the package has been lying here for a few weeks. I

I just got that device from post. I installed driver from:
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jhoogenraad/rtl2831-r2
and it is working :(

Driver identifies this device as "Freecom USB 2.0 DVB-T Device".

I have don't know exactly what's driver status currently - is is only in 
development tree currently. Could Jan Hoogenraad comment what should do 
before driver is ready to the master release?

Antti

That is great news, now lets see what is needed to get the code stable
in the mainstream kernel code. So it will work out of the box with the
upcoming kernel releases.

Did you need any proprietary firmware?

Does the device work with mplayer does the dvb-t radio work?

Cheers,

Jelle

Yes, waiting for info...

Currently I don't have time for developing this and I don't even want 
put my fingers to this soap if there is someone else working actively.

Looks like no firmware needed at all.

> Does the device work with mplayer does the dvb-t radio work?

Works with mplayer. But radio didn't start to play for reason or other. 
Totem-xine plays also radio but sound cuts all the time. And now when 
switch channels it also hangs and stick should be re-plugged. Seems like 
many issues and that's why it is still in the development :)

In kernel integration: I'll re-post my entry of september 16, 2008.
This entry is still valid.
I have updated working repository rtl2831-r2 on a regular basis, both 
for syning with the kernel, and updating e.g. USB-IDs.

I've posted the same message on a list where there was some other 
activity, but got no response yet.

------------------

The repository at http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jhoogenraad/rtl2831-r2.
Thus:
  > hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jhoogenraad/rtl2831-r2
  > make
  > make install
should be working at all times. I synchronise it once in a while to keep
it running.

Splitting the code up into front-end and back-end is more of a hassle
than I assumed. I'm struggling with the old include files, the data
structures (where used) and the linux interface protocols in general.

A version that does not even compile (NO USE FOR END USERS !)
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jhoogenraad/rtl2831-sepfront
I have synched the version with the version on my harddisk.

Part of the code is already recycled into the kernel.
As Alistair noticed, this is now blocking for getting the support for
the stick into the main line. A pity for the users,
