While you are looking for pci cards with native FreeBSD drivers don't forget to also look at webcamd, http://www.freshports.org/multimedia/webcamd which should let you use many of those usb dvb (and atsc?) tuners that are also supported on Linux since webcamd essentially runs Linux usb v4l/dvb drivers on FreeBSD in userland: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-C_USB_Devices http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-S_USB_Devices http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-S2_USB_Devices http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_USB_Devices http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATSC_USB_Devices (and there are also analog usb video devices that may work tho those are probably less interesting nowadays: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Video_via_USB ) Another advantage of webcamd is it provides essentially the same /dev/dvb/adapterX (resp. /dev/videoX for analog) interface as on Linux so software from Linux can be used with less porting effort, and indeed I have used at least the mplayer, kaffeine, and vlc ports with webcamd and usb dvb tuners (and w_scan and szap-s2), and of course :) also my vdr ports that I posted a Call for testing for not too long ago: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2010-November/011392.html (and others have used mythtv too.) I'm in europe so I can't test atsc (and know little about it), but at least theoretically what is supported of that in e.g. vdr (or mythtv?) should work with webcamd too, here are two related threads I found on the vdr list: http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2010-October/023777.html http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2010-October/023793.html Tuners I have personally tested: - dvb-s2: PCTV 452e Sat HDTV Pro USB driven by: /usr/ports/multimedia/webcamd/work/webcamd-0.1.18/v4l-dvb/linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/pctv452e.c Seems to work alright for me now, including for (fta) dvb-s2 hdtv. (The same driver appears to also support TechnoTrend TT-connect S2-3600 and TechnoTrend TT-connect S2-3650 CI so those have good chances of working with webcamd too; note this driver is imported from the Linux s2-liplianin dvb tree because it's still(?) not in mainline Linux v4l-dvb.) - dvb-s2: TeVii S660 driven by: /usr/ports/multimedia/webcamd/work/webcamd-0.1.18/v4l-dvb/linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dw2102.c Seems to be very picky wrt on which usb controllers it actually works, (like it made even Linux' `lspci' hang on an onboard ATI SB700 until I unplugged it again, and you can find reports on the web of other users having problems too) - and even after I found a pci usb card that it works on with Linux it still wouldn't do anything useful on FreeBSD with webcamd. - dvb-t: MSI DIGIVOX Duo and LC-Power LC-USB-DVBT driven by: /usr/ports/multimedia/webcamd/work/webcamd-0.1.18/v4l-dvb/linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/af9015.c (btw variations of this chipset seem to be in a lot of at least the cheaper dvb-t tuners currently being sold here.) The MSI DIGIVOX Duo needs a workaround (patch) I described in this posting: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2010-December/011509.html and even with that applied only one of its two tuners can actually be used or I get stream corruptions. The LC-Power LC-USB-DVBT is a single tuner device and works as is, but note there is/was different older(?) hw sold under the same name that is not af9015(6) but ec168 i.e. it would be driven by /usr/ports/multimedia/webcamd/work/webcamd-0.1.18/v4l-dvb/linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/ec168.c which _probably_ will also work but I haven't tested it. (hdtv also not tested as there is none broadcast via dvb-t here, but I see no reason why that shouldn't work too where it's available.)

Where? > Has anyone got any experience with this? So far, support for DVB-C cards is scarce in my experience. However, the multimedia/webcamd port brings hope, but only for usb tuner (so far). I haven't got anyt usb tuners (DVB-C) that work with it yet, but I'm still looking.

I've been think of putting something new on one of my test boxes (for htpc use). I've never used Freebsd before but a friend of mine used to rave about it. I'm wondering if anyone is successfully running VDR along with the Linux V4L drivers for dvb devices? Also, if lirc is used for accessing serial or usb based remote controls? If so, is there any work on the user end to get this stuff running? I'm not in any need of a desktop or gui as the box is dedicated to testing dvb/media replay. For that matter, there's no keyboard, mouse, etc. connected either. I typically access the box only through SSH, with the boxes audio/video output over HDMI. Does Freebsd have support for Nvidia VDPAU hardware decoding? If so, how well does it work? I prefer to install OS + software onto sdhc cards or usb flash. I appreciate any insight since I'm completely new to Freebsd, and apologize if this is not the correct mailing list for such questions.

Does Freebsd have support > for > Nvidia VDPAU hardware decoding? If so, how well does it work? I Yes, vdpau is supported with x11/nvidia-driver and MythTV has an port option to enable vdpau. I just talked to Jürgen yesterday and he is currently looking for vdpau testers for the VDR port. So it should be working with VDR but someone needs to confirm that with nvidia hardware. XBMC also supports vdpau but needs ffmpeg with enabled vdpau - but i already have a patch for that. So overall vdpau support is there but you need to compile the ports yourself with VDPAU option enabled. > prefer to install OS + software onto sdhc cards or usb flash.

It seems it has been recently implemented in the Linux kernel 2.6.33 [1], but it's in the KMS driver, so will it need to wait for a KMS implementation on FreeBSD too? I don't really know how this is supposed to work, but can't it be just hacked in the snd_hda driver? I know this is implemented (and working well I suppose) with the radeonhd driver, but... radeonhd segfaults on my computer, and I need the radeon driver anyway. :) For now, when I try to play a video with the HDMI sound output, it plays the video too fast and with no sound at all, like described here [2]. The snd_hda driver does strange things. Anyway, if I can be of any usefulness to have it implemented on FreeBSD, like for testing it, I will be glad to, of course. :) Thanks! Pierre G.
