holsteinobengdako: hey17:04
obengdakoholstein, hi!17:05
obengdakohi guys anyone got usb tvbox by trident with vendor id 6000 product id 0001 to work in linux?17:06
holsteini would probably ask in #mythtv17:07
obengdakookay i'll get there now17:07
holsteini cant find the compatibility list that i found once17:07
holsteinhey, theres a #ubuntu-mythtv too :)17:08
obengdakoi got there and was asked to head to #linuxtv17:10
holsteindoesnt look good http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=54429817:10
obengdakoyeah not too good17:12
holsteini have a k-world card thats been in a static bag for a couple years now :/17:13
holsteinPCI17:13
holsteinit wont 'give up the funk' in linux17:13
obengdakoit shows up in virtual box but it works with hisses and glitches since it is a usb and the data is flowing in bits to virtual box it doesn't give the best viewing pleasure so i have to get it to work in ubuntu17:13
obengdakohehehe17:14
holsteinat least its an inexpensive/old-ish device17:14
obengdakoi had a saa7134 compatible pcmcia card but i've changed my laptiop to one that doesn't have a pcmcia port so i bought this usb card17:14
holsteinmaybe you can craigslist it and get something more friendly17:14
obengdakomike what is craigslist17:15
obengdako?17:15
holsteinlike ebay17:15
holsteinonline auction17:15
holsteinobengdako: if you just bought it17:16
holsteinmaybe you can return it :)17:16
obengdakowell i returned a previous one that was an encore enutv-2 usb box17:16
obengdakothat one does not even show up in lsusb and it was giving problems to drivers and blue screen in windows17:17
obengdakoand got this replacement17:17
obengdakolol where i am online shopping is not an alternative so ebay is way "far" for me holstein17:18
holsteinbeing able to return it is ideal i say17:19
holsteinsometimes you just gotta keep trying17:19
holsteinmaybe take the laptop with you17:19
holsteinlsusb in there17:20
holsteinand try seeing it with something17:20
holsteinVLC or some capture app17:20
obengdakoi always take the laptop but like this one it show up in lsusb but there is no kernel module loaded for this one plus i assume there is a solution online until i hit the wall17:21
holsteinlol17:22
holsteinassume nothing17:22
holsteini can see quite a few devices in lspci17:22
holsteinand lsusb17:22
holsteinthat dont work17:22
holsteinsometimes support can be worked out17:22
obengdakowell that takes time17:23
holsteinbut there should be something plug and play17:23
holsteinat a similar price17:23
obengdakohmmm but where to get some here in Ghana would be a tough task for me17:24
holsteinamazon17:25
holsteinassuming you can find a compatibility list17:25
holsteinthe one i used to go to is gone :/17:25
obengdakowell in Ghana to get a credit card or even a debit card to shop online would be cumbersome17:26
obengdakoi do need to get the compatibility list so i can know what not to buy17:26
holsteinmore cumbersome than writing a kernel module ;)17:26
obengdakolol hehe that's rather even more cumbersome 'writing a kernel module'17:27
holsteinobengdako: im sure you can sort it out17:27
holsteinthey can probably tell you in one of those myth channels where the compatibility list went17:27
obengdakoyep i'll try till i'm tired of the card17:28
holsteinOR suggest some easy plug and play devices17:28
holsteinmaybe even tell you how to get started reverse engineering a driver :)17:28
obengdakoyep i saw a post right now about it doing some extraction from the .sys file to get fw files17:29
holsteinobengdako: maybe using the windows driver17:29
holsteinlike the old wifi cards used to do it17:30
obengdakoyeah i'll see17:30
djindyHello, is anyone here today?21:17
=== virtu is now known as virtu_em_SP
obengdakoholstein, i got my card to work23:28
holsteinobengdako: congrats23:28
obengdakoholstein, are you there?23:28
holsteinwhat was it?23:28
holsteina backport?23:28
holsteinor something more challenging?23:28
obengdakonot really i had to modprobe tm600023:29
holsteinnice23:29
obengdakobut after doing that i did not have firmware23:29
obengdakoso i used a perl script to extract them and then cp them to /lib/firmware23:29
obengdakoand that was it !23:29
obengdakoso not really challenging23:30
obengdakonow i just have to figure out how to get the audio from the card23:30
holsteinthats great :)23:30
obengdakodo you have any ideas before i start googling?23:31
holsteinOH23:31
holsteinabout the sound?23:31
holsteinwhats the deal23:31
holsteinyou want sound from the USB tm6000?23:31
holsteinaplay -l23:32
obengdakoyes man23:32
holsteinand arecord -l23:32
holsteinthat should show you if its useable23:32
obengdakoi just did arecord -l23:32
obengdakolet me see aplay -l23:32
obengdakoi probably should modprobe tm6000-alsa23:33
holsteinsure23:33
obengdakoand by the way i was looking for /dev/dsp and did not find it23:33
obengdakohas it been stripped in ubuntu meercat23:34
obengdako?23:34
holsteini dont think so23:34
holsteinbut, im still on lucid23:34
obengdakois it that hda doesn't use it or just pulse has removed it completely?23:35
obengdakodo you have the device link?23:35

holsteinyou might be right23:36
holsteini dont find it23:36

holsteinhttp://www.khattam.info/solved-cant-open-devdsp-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat-2010-06-09.html23:41
holsteinthats all i come up with23:41
obengdakothanks checking the link23:41
holsteinnot very promising :/23:42
holsteinjust kinda supports the theory23:42
obengdakoyeah i already know how to do that but thanks anyway for the link kinda lets me know that i should not expect the audio to be parsed there23:44
obengdakohmmm23:44
obengdakoso mike where are you? pm23:45
