mchehab: (still, we can do our weekly meeting... it seems that 4G is stable here)
<br> hi all
pinchartl: hi Mauro
mkrufky: is everybody ok?
<br> i am fine
<br> its crazy here in nyc though
pinchartl: hi Mike !
mkrufky: Hey! really missed you!!!
mchehab: hi Mike
<br> long time no see!
<br> yeah, I can imagine... NYC is probably suffering a lot
mkrufky: its crazy here
<br> when i go to the store to buy meat & fish, i feel like im making a supply run on THE WALKING DEAD
<br> people are afraid of each other
<br> and new yorkers are buying guns on the black market
mchehab: It seems that it could be a little bit hard to kill a virus with a gun :-D
mkrufky: lol someone else just said that to me
<br> its not the virus
<br> its the people
<br> when the food runs out, all hell will break loose
<br> lets hope that wont happen, but... it might
mchehab: well, people hurted by gun shots will likely help a lot to diseminate the virus
mkrufky: LOL
<br> for instance, i have food
mchehab: anyway, back to business... anything for today's meeting?
mkrufky: neighbor might be hungry
<br> ah, ok
mchehab: <u>mkrufky</u>: yeah, I saw the picture :-)
<br> typical walking dead scenario (and a lot of other Hollywood "classical" apocalyptical movies and tv series)
mkrufky: what i see in new york is exactly what i see in the sci-fi apocalypse movies
mchehab: from my side, there's now just one PR pending: https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/62535/
<br> too big for -rc7 merge
<br> so, I'll postpone this one to be applied after the merge window
<br> anything that should still be added for this merge window (regression fixes, serious bug fixes)?
mkrufky: the kconfig changes i saw arent going now, are they?
mchehab: hverkuil, sailus, syoung: ping
mkrufky: or is that still WIP ?
mchehab: <u>mkrufky</u>: they're not for this merge window
<br> I'm targeting them on 5.8
<br> (btw, I added 3 more patches to the series)
<br> not sent yet
mkrufky: good. its a nice idea but i wanted to try it out and comment
<br> ok cool
<br> also, i saw the email about the virtual dvb driver .... how long has that been in-kernel? i need to play w that too
mchehab: I discovered (or re-discovered) that the DVB dummy driver is actually used by the ddbridge driver :-p
<br> <u>mkrufky</u>: not in Kernel yet. Daniel is writing it
mkrufky: i dont care what its name becomes, but dtv is nice b/c it matches a "new" internal naming schema that weve been using, but "dvb" matches subsystem name and core code filenames
mchehab: he already sent some code for mpeg-ts generation
mkrufky: nice
<br> we have to be very careful w that
mchehab: (it is inside a frontend, with is the wrong place, but he should be moving it to be part of the virtual bridge driver)
mkrufky: i will give it a review
<br> it actually should be separate module i think
mchehab: yeah, it would be nice to collect views on that
<br> we're modeling it as 3 drivers
<br> (virtual frontend, virtual tuner, virtual dtv)
mkrufky: i could imagine mpegts gen as something that may want to be reused by other drivers (not sure of any use case yet tho)
mchehab: the frontend would be the dummy driver, but I'm now imagining that we should address the issue with ddbridge first
<br> (to be fair, ddbridge uses it when there's no frontend daughter card - so it probably doesn't matter much about what's there)
<br> maybe we should fork dummy and place a separate copy together with ddbridge driver
mkrufky: these are in a separate repo?
mchehab: no. those weren't merged yet
<br> <u>Subject</u>: [RFC, WIP, v2 0/3] Implement a virtual DVB driver
<br> is the main thread
mkrufky: ah ok cool ... ill look there
mchehab: it is not yet at the point of being tested
<br> as it lacks the bridge driver. Daniel is working on it atm, as far as I know
mkrufky: ok
mchehab: anyway, once done, we should have something interesting to test digital tv apps without hardware
<br> initially, the TS stream should be very basic
<br> but that's something that could be improved with time
<br> anything else for today's meeting?
mkrufky: avoid ibuprofen / advil / aleeve / motrin / naproxen or any SAIDS ... they are known to make the virus stronger -- only take tylenol / paracetemol ...
<br> (i know, off topic, but important)
pinchartl: <u>mkrufky</u>: the best advice is "follow your doctor's advices" :-)
mkrufky: doctors are home sick
pinchartl: not all of them
mchehab: <u>mkrufky</u>: WHO said that avoid ibuproven is not needed anymore :-p
<br> I've saw some heated discussions about that on some whatsapp groups :-)
<br> just in case, we're avoiding it anyway :-)
<br> https://www.sciencealert.com/who-recommends-to-avoid-taking-ibuprofen-for-covid-19-symptoms
mkrufky: yea i would avoid anyway
<br> i didnt know they said its ok
<br> thanks - ill read this w/ breakfast :-)
hverkuil: Sorry guys, I had to run a bunch of errands and was unable to join. Media-wise I have nothing to contribute, other than that I have less time for media patch review at the moment than usual (an annoying ongoing project at work takes more time than I'd like).
<br> And I completely forgot about the meeting, otherwise I'd have let you know that I wouldn't join.
mkrufky: eeeek! running errands!
<br> there are like 5 doorknobs between my home any anywhere -- wearing plastic bags on my hands
hverkuil: picked up a load of hardware from the office, I should be good now for the foreseeable future.
