Hi Michael,

- the drivers are loaded
- i installed FFMPEG manually, but i thought that the c't vdr managed
the installation of all needed hollywood+ stuff correctly. Anyway, the
installation of ffmpeg didn't change anything

When i try "mplayer -ao oss:/dev/em8300_ma-0 -vo dxr3 dvd://1" i can see
the DVD via the h+ card. So now i know that is not broken. But i cant't
imagine, what's wrong when i try to disply the vdr ...

Christian

second a dum question: where can I change the primary device? I found
various discussions about the primary device but i didn't find anything
about where to set this. In which configure file  is this done???


          
hi,

to be certain that the h+ is working you could have a look at the init
parameters of the dxr3 drivers, there is a picture generator function
intergrated (can´t remember witch module, its to long ago)

Christian,

A Hollywood+ card needs some specific drivers to be loaded prior to use it !
If your TV is flickering when loading the drivers, it seems that you have
      
some
    
drivers... Meanwhile, the TV screen should normally (often) became grren for
      
a
    
while, before displaying the channel you're watching !

So that, could you please look at the following:

1. If you display loaded modules (bash command is lsmod), do you see the
      
em8300
    
drivers ?
2. Do you have FFMPEG installed correctly ? EM8300 drivers needs that !

EM8300 is the driver used to manage the Hollywood+ card.

More informations about installing/using the DXR3 plugin is located at
http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Dxr3-plugin

PS: Before changing the setup.conf file for changing the primary device,
      
make
    
sure that vdr is not working !

Ok. Your card and cable are working fine ! Nice !

So now let's try changing the setup.conf ! But bne sure that vdr is stopped
before changing the file as vdr saves the setup.conf file before leaving (well,
that's what I noticed !)...

By the way, before doing that ! Did you load the DXR3 plugin when starting vdr ?
Because even if you use the wrong primary device for input, you should at least
see the OSD on the TV !

Hope it helps.

I tried to change settings in the setup.conf with a stopped vdr. But it didn't work. :-(
Even the OSD is not displayed. I get nothing expect the flickering while drivers are loaded.
Err, the dxr3 drivers are loaded by /etc/init.d/vdr start -dxr3 or not??
When VDR is started these are last the ouput lines:

av7110: found av7110-0
adv717x.o Configuring for PAL
am8300_audio.o: Analof audio enabled
em8300: Microcode version 0x29 loaded
