I'm in the process of reintroducing the "multiproto" changes in order to start the 1.7 developer version.
Since I haven't been following the driver development recently I was wondering if somebody could tell me which driver is best to use at this time.
The one at
is like 4 weeks old, while at
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~endriss/v4l-dvb-av7110-full-ts-mod
there have been recent activities. I'd like to switch to a driver that works with "multiproto" and supports Oliver's full ts mod.

It shouldn't be hard to use the 2 repositories together, it can be used quite straight forward like this:
$ hg clone http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto
$ cd multiproto
$ hg pull -u http://linuxtv.org/hg/~endriss/v4l-dvb-av7110-full-ts-mod
After the pull is complete, it will ask you to merge the heads:
$ hg merge
commit the merge
$ hg commit
You have both the functionality of both trees in one tree. If that looks hard, i can push a tree which is a result of the above outlined steps.

I guess a "latest greatest" driver source that combines "multiproto" with Oliver's work would be great, since many users are going to need this when VDR 1.7.0 comes out (which will require "multiproto").
So I'd appreciate if you could provide such a tree (and possibly keep it up-to-date). In the long run I think there needs to be one place where people can find *the* DVB driver again. The current plethora of repositories, while certainly useful for the driver developers, is quite irritating for plain users like myself ;-).

Cool, I was wondering how to locally merge branches. I have an ATSC card I'm trying to get going that needs a month old update that hasn't been merged with anything yet last check: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~stoth/cx23885-video

Any instructions somewhere how to stuff that into stock kernel (debian)? I really don't want to compile the total kernel.

Here's what I did to get HG drivers a bit more packaged:
(1) Make sure you build the drivers against the right sources and .config. Looks something like this:
make all SRCDIR=... KERNELRELEASE=...
KERNELRELEASE is the 'uname -r' release version of your kernel. You may need to start a kernel compile before, to get some basic things, but I've killed it after a few seconds, and it was enough.
(2) Unpack your existing kernel package: dpkg -x linux-image-...deb /tmp/deb dpkg -e linux-image-...deb /tmp/deb/DEBIAN
(3) install drivers into it: fakeroot make install SRCDIR=... DESTDIR=/tmp/deb/ KERNELRELEASE=...
(4) (optional) modify description in /tmp/deb/DEBIAN so you don't confuse it with the original kernel
(5) re-package it: fakeroot dpkg -b /tmp/deb linux-image-...deb
This works to some degree, but may give some issues. The suggested way is to use a kernel with all DVB support disabled as base for HG drivers.
Cheers,
Udo
Hi, install the linux-headers package coresponding to your running kernel. e. G. linux-headers-2.6.24-1-686. you can get the running kernel's version by typing uname -r
check out the multiproto drivers by typing hg clone http://just.dde/hg/multiproto_plus. cd multiproto_plus make && make install && reboot HTH. Halim

HMM this kernel is too old! I think you need min 2.6.22 or better! I have tested it with 2.6.24 with gcc 4.2 and had no errors. Regards Halim

OK, upgrading to debian lenny, that has 2.6.24-5. There will be interesting times ahead ;)
BTW, What are actual benefits for running multiproto, other then having fun at bleeding edge. I dont have S2-cards or odd USB-devices, yet. Just old NEXUS-S and NOVA-T PCI-cards.

Zapping is faster for me with multiproto on my non DVB-S2 cards.

Well, upgraded and compiled. Does command 'hg pull http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto_plus' keep directory multiproto_plus current ?

after "pulling" you have to issue an "hg update", but it will tell you so anyway.

Hi!
There is no package hg! Use: apt-get install mercurial Instead.

Is the hg commit line only for sending the merge back to the source? because when I tried t do a merge locally and got to that command, I got:
No username found, using 'vorg@x64VDR.tdl' instead transaction abort! rollback completed
Yet the local tree seems to have kept the changes.
