mchehabhi all [11:57]
hverkuilHi!
brb
back
[11:58]
sailusHello! [12:00]
hverkuilmchehab: you're in Lisbon? [12:01]
mchehabno [12:01]
syounghi all [12:01]
mchehabas we cancelled the media summit, I decided to not go to Lisbon [12:02]
hverkuilah, I thought you were still going for the kernel maintainer summit.
pinchartl is probably still in Lisbon (or traveling back).
[12:02]
mchehabyeah, likely
anything for today's meeting?
[12:04]
pinchartlyes I'm still in Lisbon :-) [12:04]
hverkuilI don't have much, but it would be nice if people would review https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/58693/
Actually https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/58717/ and https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/58716/
[12:04]
pinchartlhverkuil: I'll have a look [12:05]
hverkuilI also posted an RFC about metadata, if possible it would be good to discuss it next week. [12:06]
mchehabhmm... haven't we added already a metadata type somewhere? [12:06]
hverkuilNot a VFL_TYPE. [12:06]
mchehabnot sure what you're trying to do with that... apps can already properly detect and inhibit the metadata devs
(I did such change on Camorama and at zbarcam-qt already)
why do we need a V4L_TYPE?
[12:07]
hverkuilit's not for apps, it's for the core. Specifically determine_valid_ioctls(). It needs to know that it is dealing with a metadata capture device. [12:08]
mchehabah, ok [12:09]
hverkuilWithout it you can enumerate/get/set/try metadata formats via the video capture node, and video formats via the metadata capture node.
Very confusing.
[12:10]
mchehabon a quick look, patch looks ok
I would improve the patch's documentation, in order to explain why this is needed. The current description is bogus: it just repeats the subject line
[12:11]
hverkuilThe related RFC: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg149892.html [12:12]
mchehab(by documentation, I'm meaning the body of the commit message)
the RFC comment is a way better
[12:12]
hverkuilWell, the patch was from Vandana, so be kind to my intern :-)
I'll ask her to improve the commit message.
[12:13]
mchehabgood time to explain him that descriptions should be meaningful :-P
s/him/her/
[12:14]
hverkuildo you have the HDMI Specification 1.3 or up? [12:15]
mchehab(really hard to tell if a foreign name is masculin or feminin)
I dunno... I don't touch HDMI specs for quite a while
[12:15]
hverkuilMy other intern is working on improving CEC compliance tests, and some of the CEC commands deal with digital tuners and you know a lot more about those standards.
I might have to direct his questions to you.
[12:16]
mchehabok [12:16]
hverkuilHe's starting with the analog tuning, since that part I know myself. [12:17]
sailushverkuil: Could you review this:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg156061.html
And especially the 2nd patch in the set?
pinchartl: ^
[12:19]
hverkuilwill do [12:19]
sailusIt's bothered me for quite a while that the framework doesn't help subdev drivers with locking much when it comes to kAPI.
hverkuil: Thanks!
[12:20]
hverkuilwhat is the status of the 'location' patch series?
I guess there will be a v3?
pinchartl: ^^^^
[12:21]
pinchartlhverkuil: I think so. you should ask Jacopo :-)
can I invite him to this channel ?
he's sitting in front of me
[12:23]
hverkuilsure.
jmondi: what is the status of the 'location' patch series? I guess there will be a v3?
[12:24]
jmondihello! [12:25]
hverkuil(and good afternoon!) [12:25]
jmondihverkuil: indeed, I've been working on it during LPC sessions during the previous days
I should be able to send a new one today/tomorrow...
hverkuil: any specific concern?
[12:25]
hverkuilNo, just wondering if there was anything I needed to look at, but I should just wait for v3. [12:26]
jmondihverkuil: yeah, I hope I will send it out soon [12:26]
syoungI'd like to ask about a new v4l-utils release. I've added raw IR keymaps and sen
ding IR based on keys in keymaps and it would be nice to have this released
[12:28]
jmondi(leaving the room now before I get assigned any mainteneince task :)
hverkuil: please ping me if you need anything else!
bye
[12:28]

hverkuilsyoung: I think you can just mail Gregor Jasny <gjasny@googlemail.com> and ask for a new release. [12:30]
mchehabsyoung: usually, Gregor does the releases for us [12:30]
hverkuilI think it is about time anyway. [12:30]
mchehabyep [12:30]
hverkuilanything else? [12:32]
syounggreat, thanks! [12:32]
