[21:53] <sgtpepper> sorry, tevii S660
[01:32] <sgtpepper> hey there, has anyone worked with Compro Videomate S900 USB DVB-S2 dongles?
[13:07] <sgtpepper> does anyone knows why make in the last development snapshot only uses one digit for the kernel minor?
[13:29] <sgtpepper> when issuing make
[13:31] <TrSqr> didn't understand the question now
[13:31] <TrSqr> the version number 4.0 instead of 4.00?
[20:18] <sgtpepper> Hey everyone, is there a link or anything detailing the procedure for feature requests? or support requests?

[20:47] <TrSqr> sgtpepper, you just need to bribe the right guy
[20:47] <sgtpepper> that's great, then I just need to find the right guy
[20:48] <sgtpepper> TrSqr: any suggestions ;-)?
[20:48] <TrSqr> what do you need? :)
[20:52] <sgtpepper> TrSqr: so I have this dvb-s2 dongle
[20:53] <sgtpepper> that is based on a couple of known ic's (I honestly think its a clone of the tevii s660)
[20:53] <sgtpepper> so I tried replacing the product & vendor id's for that module, and well.. the module never loaded
[20:54] <TrSqr> was going to suggest that for you :)
[20:54] <TrSqr> as in, gave an error or did not load when you plugged in the tuner?
[20:56] <sgtpepper> never loaded, looking at it I got an unresolved symbol error... so that particular kernel I'm using might be screwed
[20:56] <sgtpepper> still, I downloaded the latest snapshot, tried the last change
[20:56] <sgtpepper> and wasn't able to compile it, because apparently it's not using the right minor version of the kernel devel tree
[20:56] <sgtpepper> i.e. I'm running 3.18 and it's looking for the 3.8 dev tree
[20:57] <sgtpepper> which makes no sense, because if I try with a 3.17 kernel, it tries to compile for 3.7
[20:57] <sgtpepper> so I'm guessing it chews up a digit of the minor
[20:57] <sgtpepper> (on Fedora 21 BTW)
[20:57] <TrSqr> that sounds weird
[20:57] <TrSqr> never had that kind of an issue with the media_build
[20:59] <sgtpepper> TrSqr: using the latest develoment snapshot or the git checkout?
[21:00] <TrSqr> I've got my own repo, which I sync from the main media_tree git repo every now and then
[21:02] <TrSqr> can you build the plain vanilla media_build at the moment?
[21:03] <sgtpepper> TrSqr: using the wiki instructions?
[21:04] <sgtpepper> git clone --depth=1 git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git ?
[21:04] <TrSqr> basically do just git clone for media build and then execute the build script
[21:05] <sgtpepper> k, let me start with that, and a fresh kernel
[21:10] <sgtpepper> TrSqr: any other suggestions on how can I start messing with the device and checking if I actually need to write code to make in work?

[21:40] <TrSqr> sgtpepper, when you have compiled media build successfully, you know it works ok. then you can make your changes and recompile. if I remember correctly, there was a wiki article about this..
[22:18] <sgtpepper> TrSqr: media build compiles cleanly
[22:18] <sgtpepper> I'm going to make clean, they introduce the changes and see if it compiles cleanly again and loads
[22:51] <sgtpepper> TrSqr: ok, module loads... still no /dev/dvb directory. I'm loading dvb-usb-dw2102
[22:51] <sgtpepper> no messages pointing to a firmware load or anything like that
