hi
any1 help ?
it says on ur website
for dvb or v4l
join this room
for srious mirc chat
anyone feel like answering a question i have
on a particularly annoying adapter
milliz: ask your question
pctv 461e
does it work ?
apart from the dvbs side i mean
an absolutely pain in the a-hole adapter
i have no hair left
wife has left me etc
crope: might know, I see he worked on it.
nah jk on that last bit
.nag crope
might take a while before he answers (if at all), I expect he's at work.
or ask on the linux-media mailinglist.
tnx
this adapter is weird
sporadic dvb-s2 (HDTV) reception with the current drivers
couldn't blame the linux or windows drivers though , the thing doesn't even register muxes with there own software from where I live. Just absolute ignorace and insulting really that I spent sometihng like $150
:/
mchehab: I would have send e-mails if I had
pinchartl: we need to put a dead line for this... the problem was detected about one year ago... several patches on this series were produced in feb/march and the remaining ones in aug/sept.... that sounds enough time for reviewing them
and we need to move on
I've put my deadline to end of this weekend
ok. So, on Monday we'll start merging them
that's how I spend my evenings (or at least part of them) this week :-)
shouldn't the merge decision based on the review ? :-)
I mean, patches I ack are certainly fine to be merged
but if my only option is to ack all of them then why should I review them ?
pinchartl: if something needs to be touched, let's do it
good :-)
I'm not refusing to rework on what it is needed
I didn't seriously think you would :-)
I'll be doing them on a separate patch series
rebasing a 83 patch series is not fun and too risky
and would require a lot of re-test
who said the life of an upstream maintainer was fun ? ;-)
of course rebasing for just adding comments/acks is ok - and compiler breakages should be merged too
but all the rest could be done on a separate patch series
beside, we all live dangerous lives as kernel developers : https://www.usenix.org/system/files/1311_05-08_mickens.pdf
pinchartl: true, but that doesn't mean that we should turn on our lives into nightmares by purpose
:)
death by patch bomb
pinchartl: haha! mickens is awesome :)
hverkuil: why is vivid radio pretending to be Video Capture/Output/Overlay, also VBI, and bunch of non-radio stuff ?
stormer: capabilities vs. device_caps ?
