Maddox" To: multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: How to do MBONE over a point-to-point connection? Message-ID: <19990111153439.A2156@dmaddox.conterra.com> Reply-To: dmaddox@conterra.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95i Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I'm not 100% certain that this is the right forum for this question, but I know that a lot of you guys on the multimedia list have experience with MBONE stuff, so here goes... I have a simple 128K ISDN dial-up PPP conection to my ISP. My ISP was kind enough to set up a multicast tunnel for me on their multicast gateway machine at my request. They have an /etc/mrouted.conf containing the line: tunnel 209.12.169.30 209.12.169.48 metric 1 threshold 1 rate_limit 120 passive rexmit_prunes off noflood on the multicast gateway machine. I initially thought that I could simply create an /etc/mrouted.conf on my machine containing only the line: tunnel tun0 209.12.169.30 metric 1 advert_metric 20 threshold 1 rate_limit 120 and I would have access to the MBONE. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be that simple. Mrouted does not like point-to-point connections, and is not designed to work with such. Normally, my connection to my isp is 209.12.169.48->209.12.169.2 netmask 0xffffffff. Netmasks don't mean much on PTP interfaces, but they mean a lot to mrouted. Mrouted doesn't believe any netmask more restrictive than 0xffffff00 is a valid subnet, and will refuse to operate on an interface with such a netmask. I thought I could get around this by simply setting the netmask to 0xffffff00 (since it has no effect on a PTP connection), but, unfortunately, this cannot work, because the IP address of the MBONE gateway is 209.12.169.30, and this netmask puts us on the same subnet. Mrouted then refuses to create an "unnecessary tunnel" between two hosts on the same subnet :-( I worked around this by simply hacking the mrouted source to ignore the fact that both ends of the tunnel were on the same subnet. This appeared to work, more or less... Unfortunately, mrouted automatically configures itself to use ALL multicast- capable interfaces, so it ended up sending all traffic over the 'tun0' interface directly, instead of using the tunnel. So... I tried changing my mrouted.conf to this: phyint tun0 disable tunnel tun0 209.12.169.30 metric 1 advert_metric 20 threshold 1 rate_limit 120 Mrouted then refused to start, because it MUST have at least two enabled VIFs. So... I changed my mrouted.conf again: phyint tun0 disable tunnel tun0 209.12.169.30 metric 1 advert_metric 20 threshold 1 rate_limit 120 tunnel tun0 1.2.3.4 metric 1 advert_metric 30 threshold 1 rate_limit 80 and set up a static route 1.2.3.4->127.0.0.1, so mrouted _thinks_ it has two tunnels. Now, mrouted starts just fine and I get _lots_ of multicast traffic over the tunnel, mostly routing info. So much, in fact, that it more or less swamped my rather puny bandwidth. I have found, though, that setting my 'advert_metric' to 20 or so at least keeps me from getting flooded. Unfortuneately, it _still_ doesn't seem to work as expected. Using tcpdump, I can see lots of multicast traffic between my machine and the multicast gateway machine, but if I start sdr, I see my end send packets to SAP.MCAST.NET or ALL-ROUTERS.MCAST.NET, followed immediately by ICMP ttl-exceeded messages from the dial-up router, as if these packets are somehow not getting routed through the tunnel. At this point, I am just about out of ideas... It certainly _seems_ that what I am trying to do should be possible. Anybody got any tips for me?

When *I* write "XX compatible" I mean that the device is software-wise almost undistinguishable from XX.

Step 1) You need to build a custom kernel. At the end of your kernel file add the line device bktr0 then make a new kernel Step 2) Make the device in /dev type in the following commands as root. cd /dev sh MAKEDEV bktr0 Step 3) Reboot your PC. You should see an entry for your Hauppauge card in the boot sequence Check with dmesg. Step 4) Watching TV Use the program called FXTV. It can be found in /usr/ports/graphics/fxtv I have a report it does not build correctly and I have the patch to the makefile somewhere. If it does not work, email me and I'll help out. Bye Roger p.s. If your hauppauge card as the MSP34xx Stereo Decoder audio chip, you may get no sound when watching TV. I should get this fixed in the next week or two.

And Ximages aren't nearly as good as direct writes :-) Is there some new magic I need to perform? - Thanks - - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Sat Jan 16 02:45:40 1999 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id CAA29577 for freebsd-multimedia-outgoing; Sat, 16 Jan 1999 02:45:40 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from labinfo.iet.unipi.it (labinfo.iet.unipi.it [131.114.9.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id CAA29572 for ; Sat, 16 Jan 1999 02:45:38 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from luigi@labinfo.iet.unipi.it) Received: from localhost (luigi@localhost) by labinfo.iet.unipi.it (8.6.5/8.6.5) id JAA01613; Sat, 16 Jan 1999 09:31:38 +0100 From: Luigi Rizzo Message-Id: <199901160831.JAA01613@labinfo.iet.unipi.it> Subject: matrox video capture driver ?

When I click on the camera icon, the image stops (which I assume |is freeze). When I click on File->Save Image a dialog box pops up that |says "No frozen image to save." The same thing happens with Save Image |As. In other words, I cannot find a way to save an image. Hmm. Click the camera icon again. Then while the image is frozen, pop some window in front of fxtv, and then pull it away, revealing the fxtv window again. If you don't see that last image you saw when you froze fxtv, then fxtv probably never got the signal (SIGUSR1) from the driver that said the frame was captured. Note that I'm running stock 3.0-RELEASE here as well (3.0-R bt848 driver and XFree86 3.3.2). Likely though we have different H/W (capture cards, etc.) |2) To try to save a video stream, I select File->Save Video As ... and |the FXTV Save Video Control dialog pops up (the tv window goes black). I This is consistent with the above. Whenever the video window is partially occluded (or when capturing video/images), fxtv depends on getting "Frame Done" signals from the driver. Doesn't seem your getting these. Thus your window isn't being updated. |Left behind is an mpeg_encode.core file, a zero length take.AVraw file, a ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yep. This is consistent with the above. |3) I am using WindowMaker 0.50 as a window manager. When I click on the |Resize button (or use Btn3Down), the tv window becomes larger and appears |to be working fine. When I click on Resize again, the entire screen goes |blank with only the mouse indicator showing. The mouse is live and the |indicator changes as I move it around the screen (ie into text mode when |it passes over an xterm window). If I move it to the very bottom of the |screen in either the right or left corner (not in the middle however), |everything will reappear with the tv window back in the smaller size. I |can do this repeatedly with the same behavior. Strange. Sounds like an X server bug. I don't see that here, but I'm running a different video card and X server. |4) Btn1Down (or z or Return etc) in the tv window will turn the entire |screen blank and freeze the mouse indicator. Clicking again will leave the |screen blank but display the mouse indicator again, which will redisplay the |screen by using the method mentioned in symptom three. Btn1 down does a full-screen zoom. It switches down to 640x480 using the XFree86 video mode extension. Sounds like that is broken or misconfigured as well. Try using Ctrl-Alt-+ and cycling through all your video modes. Make sure everything seems to work OK (you shouldn't see any blank screens). And check the "Screen" section in your /etc/XF86Config to make sure you have 640x480 configured. |5) I do not have anything connected to the tuner, so I'm not sure this is |a problem. None of the methods for changing the tuner seem to work. I |select the tuner as input (TUNER IN shows on the tv window), and try |KP_ADD/SUBTRACT and the arrow buttons on the tool bar display. The channel |indicator stays at zero. Eventually I will start getting beeps (perhaps |to indicate there is no tuner input?). Zero? Hmmm. Try: > fxtv -xrm "Fxtv.cableStationList: 3 4" -xrm "Fxtv.tunerMode: cable" Now try to KP_ADD. |My intended application is to grab frames from a robot-mounted camera as |it wanders around my house. Sounds pretty cool! Let's me know how the above goes, and let's see the output of: > fxtv -debug startup so we can get to figuring out why you aren't getting frame done signals.

Also, I notice that X switches the desktop off into space even if you give it 0,0 for the viewport origin in this case. At any rate, it's fixed. A patch to tvscreen.c is attached. If you fetch the fxtv port, untar, do a "make patch", then apply this patch, and finally "make install". |> > fxtv -xrm "Fxtv.cableStationList: 3 4" -xrm "Fxtv.tunerMode: cable" |> |> Now try to KP_ADD. |> |Still reads only zero.

The same thing happens with Save Image > |As. In other words, I cannot find a way to save an image. Randall, i experienced similar problems for a long time on all systems i have with a bt848. The reason is something i strongly believe to be a bug in the bt848 driver: when for any reason the DMA engine on the Bt848 experiences an underrun, the interrupt handler in the bt848 driver notices the problem and decides _not_ to invoke a wakeup() on the sleeping process. If you have this problem you should notice because with full screen captures you don't have one field and the channel numbers and other msgs remain partly visible (on the lines corresponding to the missing field). The reason i think this is broken behaviour of the driver is that the interrupt handler should call wakeup() even in case of errors, just report the problem to the application in case it bothers to check. DMA overruns are easy, especially when (as in my case) one is dumping to the video RAM of some slow card. cheers luigi -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO .

When to a "computer show" today. Kept the above in mind. Bought a YMF719 card for a whopping $14 plus 8% sales tax to put my AOpen AW37 our of FreeBSD's misery. Shopped until I found a card with a chip that specifically said, "Yamaha YMF719" on it. Also found new-in-box Kingston 32M 60ns parity 72-pin memory for $30 each. Now I'm stuffed at 128MB! Also used 4MB Matrox Mill II card for $45. Brand was "Axra". CD includes some Windows utilities from Yamaha. One demands a serial number and I can't find a serial number on the package that it likes. It works better than the AW37 not-Pro. But it needs a squelch. Plugged into my AR Powered Partners FreeBSD plays continuous static. Tried the card under NT 4.0 first, which apparently turns the card off when not actually intending to make noise. Don't think this card is up to the audiophile qualities of the AOpen/Crystal Semiconductor card. Other statements about 34dB S/N ratios on some cards bear a new level of truth. Without telling PnP anything special it was detected and appears to work (cat /usr/local/lib/exmh-2.0.2/drip.au > /dev/audio) But I think the dma assignment needs manual attention? Shouldn't it be "dma 1:3" as my AW37 said? This is -current as of 2-jan-99.

Makes sense. In Duane's case though, he's running a 66MHz mem bus and a VRAM video card; shouldn't be a problem AFAIK unless there's some other device on the bus stealing a lot of bandwidth. Alternatively, we may have a marginal signal. That again leads me back to your idea of "reporting the problem" to the application. It'd sure be nice to be able to tell the user in plain English (or Italian :-) why frames captures are failing. Sure beats getting them to turn on driver debugs and deciphering streams of "a058a018 10a38c8b" register dumps.

Are you sure yours doesn't have a tuner (maybe the driver just isn't detecting it)? It may not; I don't know anything about the newer Hauppauges.

So sounds like the bt878 isn't the issue as far as driver support goes; it's likely the tuner (assuming you have one). Check the Device Driver info in Control Panel in MSW95/98 if you have it installed. That should clinch it pretty quick.

Thanks... Now - I have another problem... previously, when I clicked on the image, it would reset my X server and become "full screen". Now it doesn't, but it selects a video mode that is about 1/3 screen size. Also, it seems to have some banding (that is, part of the image isn't quite correct, filled with verticle black bands.) I'm guessing I haven't got some mode defined in my X server that needs to be there... but, I thought I would mention it.

Thanks... | | Now - I have another problem... previously, when I clicked on the image, |it would reset my X server and become "full screen". Now it doesn't, |but it selects a video mode that is about 1/3 screen size. Also, it |seems to have some banding (that is, part of the image isn't quite |correct, filled with verticle black bands.) | | I'm guessing I haven't got some mode defined in my X server that needs |to be there... but, I thought I would mention it. Yep, that's it. Fxtv switches down to the closest mode it can find that's just-as-big or bigger than the full-size video image (640x480 for NTSC folks). You probably don't have 640x480 defined, but 800x600 or 1024x768 is, so it's using that. Now my guess is that the strange banding is due to a bug in fxtv where it sometimes tries to set the viewport of the virtual desktop to an invalid value. Xfree86 doesn't properly sanity check this and does strange things like switch to video memory that isn't even being used for XServer display. The fix to the latter is in a patch I posted to the list earlier today with a Subject: of "Re: fxtv". You might grab it and give it a shot. I'd be interested as to whether your banding goes away.
