IT is that your sound card conflicts with your printer on irq 7. I solved it by moving my soundcard to a different IRQ, reboot and bingo. Test it w/o rebuilding your kernel if you like by booting with -c and moving it that way. PS - your printer will work better after that too. PPS even if you don't have a printer, the printer port is on irq 7. I (probably like you) assumed t was no problem as DOS lets you user irq 7 for both. The catch is that DOS uses polled mode and basically ignores the printer so you can get away with it. FreeBSD doesn't do this (even if you set your printer to polled mode explicitly!) Peter Incidentally - since the LINT file puts a sound card on 7 it gets confusinng for a newbie - howabout moving it in LINT and putting in a comment NOT to use 7?

Try the listing of online radio stations. Some work for me. Others fail in various ways, most ofter the "can't open audio device" problem. I have a guess. /dev/audio can't be opened twice. If you "click on" the "listen" button on one of these radio station pages, you first get a commercial from audionet. This plays always. Then, it goes to the on-line feed of the radio station and bombs with the "can't open audio device" error. My guess is that the device is not closed from the first cut somehow. When it tries to open it for the second "cut", it bombs with that error. It may be that the close is too slow and that the open for the second part comes before /dev/audio is closed. Sometimes I have been able to try again for the second part and get it to work, even after getting the error message. If this seems to be a widespread problem, perhaps we could send a common e-mail to the realaudio folks about it. I have done this regarding problems with the realaudio encoder for FreeBSD. While they haven't fixed it yet(I think), they have responded several times, sometimes at their own instigation. That's hopeful. -Jim Durham From owner-freebsd-multimedia Mon Jan 13 23:04:49 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id XAA19748 for multimedia-outgoing; Mon, 13 Jan 1997 23:04:49 -0800 (PST) Received: from bmccane.uit.net (bmccane.uit.net [208.129.189.48]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id XAA19729 for ; Mon, 13 Jan 1997 23:04:44 -0800 (PST) Received: (from root@localhost) by bmccane.uit.net (8.8.4/8.7.3) id BAA03519; Tue, 14 Jan 1997 01:04:32 -0600 (CST) Date: Tue, 14 Jan 1997 01:04:30 -0600 (CST) From: Wm Brian McCane To: multimedia@freebsd.org Subject: Bravado Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-multimedia@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greets, I have been looking at several different video editing boards, (Miro DC20, Bravado 1000, Matrox Meteor) and I think I have decided on the Bravado 1000. I "borrowed" these from a friend which sells them, and I was happiest with the Bravado. Now for the important question. Is there anybody out there using this beast under FreeBSD. I had thought about contacting TrueVision through their Web page and asking for the programming information. Then if it's not too complex I was going to modify the Meteor driver to drive it. I will mostly use this in Windows95, because it comes with Adobe Premiere 4.2 which does a nice job, but I would love to be able to do a simple capture to disk/display from disk under FreeBSD.

What happens is that the sound output would be garbled. I discovered that when I give the card its own IRQ, things work fine. Is this right? In the LINT config file, conflicts is specified for sb0 so I assumed it to work. Both machines had the lpt on 7, which conflicted. Then one day when I actually tried to use the parallel port, the machine would hang every now and then. So, anyway, what is the deal here? Are you just not supposed to share IRQ's in certain ways? Or is this just a bug?

Make a mountain out of a molehill, it sounds like. The vic sender is a data source for some tests and at least part of the problem was a misunderstanding of the operation of the little interior window (i.e. vic says it's sending out 30fps, but that's not what it shows). It was prompted by various test receivers asking "can't you get the bitrate higher?" When I crank the slider up to max, it peaks at around 280Kbps, so I have to answer "no" and they go away thinking "what a puny machine". Now that the question has gotten the spotlight on it however, I'm wondering if it's just that vic can't figure out a reason to put out more data. Perhaps that's just all that's changing, since it's just a camera pointed at a lab. I am ignoring the case when there's no one there --- the data rate drops to 175K or less when it's just staring at static monitors. The 280+Kbps rate is with people moving around, waving arms, etc. Maybe I'll hook a vcr up with an action movie and see what happens... -- Alan Batie ------ What goes up, must come down. batie@aahz.jf.intel.com \ / Ask any system administrator. +1 503-264-8844 (voice) \ / --unknown D0 D2 39 0E 02 34 D6 B4 \/ 5A 41 21 8F 23 5F 08 9D From owner-freebsd-multimedia Thu Jan 16 14:28:09 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id OAA18016 for multimedia-outgoing; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 14:28:09 -0800 (PST) Received: from server3.syd.mail.ozemail.net (server3.syd.mail.ozemail.net [203.108.7.41]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id OAA18008 for ; Thu, 16 Jan 1997 14:28:07 -0800 (PST) Received: from oznet02.ozemail.com.au (oznet02.ozemail.com.au [203.2.192.124]) by server3.syd.mail.ozemail.net (8.8.4/8.6.12) with ESMTP id JAA01918; Fri, 17 Jan 1997 09:28:03 +1100 (EST) Received: from nrkg.ozemail.com.au (slsyd14p30.ozemail.com.au [203.108.5.190]) by oznet02.ozemail.com.au (8.8.4/8.6.12) with SMTP id JAA12943; Fri, 17 Jan 1997 09:21:03 +1100 (EST) Message-Id: <2.2.32.19970116221926.006acdf8@mail.ozemail.com.au> X-Sender: nrepin@mail.ozemail.com.au X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.2 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Fri, 17 Jan 1997 09:19:26 +1100 To: Wm Brian McCane From: Nick Repin Subject: Re: Bravado Cc: multimedia@FREEBSD.ORG Sender: owner-multimedia@FREEBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk At 01:04 AM 14/01/97 -0600, you wrote: >Greets, > > I have been looking at several different video editing boards, >(Miro DC20, Bravado 1000, Matrox Meteor) and I think I have decided on the >Bravado 1000.

The net effect is that their products tend to become orphans after the OS's move on e.g. Targa 2000 EISA products are capable and now cheap, but no longer supported under current version OS's by current Truevision drivers. This forces you to upgrade Truevision hardware in tandem with OS upgrades. The same situation is likely with the Bravado 1000 - I would be surprised if you can get adequate hardware doc from them to support Un*x development as they appear committed to Windoze and the Adobe Premiere style of editing. The good news is that the Bravado is based around the Zoran JPEG/PCI chipset ( see http://www.zoran.com/jpgaplct.htm#enduser ) as are a number of other capture boards. Drivers for these are likely to be similar using the same PCI interface chip and similar design philosophy (eg no onboard frame buffers, etc). A reference to the Zoran JPEG chip (ZR36050 referred to as MIRO_36050) is present in a Linux patch (linux/drivers/pci/pci.c) so there may be a Linux driver for Miro in development that could be ported. We are developing a FreeBSD driver (modification of Meteor driver?) for yet another Zoran-based video/audio capture board that will be tailored more toward real-time disk-based editing (no rendering) - FreeBSD or Linux are the only OS that make sense for a particular application we have in mind. I'm not sure whether the driver source will be released (for reasons out of my control) but, all going well, binary drivers should become available for FreeBSD.

The driver is in pretty good shape right now. I have tv working and vic working with the bt848 driver. Whats left is to clean up the code and do a short write up on the ioctls implemented, and test furthermore the driver for about a week to ensure that there are no real nasty hardware bugs . If all goes well not this Friday but the next one I will release the driver. So folks don't buy any Smart Video Recorders III for FreeBSD till I finished testing the hardware.

To really see the video, you have to click on the icon and a real window comes up. The icon window is only updated once per second (or whatever is specified by the -U option). > > Now that the question has gotten the spotlight on it however, I'm wondering > if it's just that vic can't figure out a reason to put out more data. > Perhaps that's just all that's changing, since it's just a camera pointed > at a lab.

The h.261 compress/decompression algorithms in vic are very memory/cpu intensive. You can see this by setting the bandwidth sliders and fps sliders all the way up (with a low ttl), then transmit a small window with a lot of motion (TV commericals switch images about every 3-5 seconds -- great test). Vic will keep up at about 30fps. If you change the size to a normal window the bit rate will go down and you will not approach the maximum fps or bandwidth. Mpeg has the same problems as h.261, just a little more pronounced -- although there is hardware assist available for mpeg these days. One could make a few modifications to the meteor driver for vic to avoid one memory copy of the input frame and it might be able to keep up at normal size, 30fps -- I have never tried this. -Jim From owner-freebsd-multimedia Fri Jan 17 07:44:04 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) id HAA09562 for multimedia-outgoing; Fri, 17 Jan 1997 07:44:04 -0800 (PST) Received: from tyger.inna.net (root@tyger.inna.net [206.151.66.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id HAA09557 for ; Fri, 17 Jan 1997 07:44:01 -0800 (PST) Received: from dolphin.inna.net (jamie@dolphin.inna.net [206.151.66.2]) by tyger.inna.net (8.8.3/8.7.3) with SMTP id KAA14900; Fri, 17 Jan 1997 10:55:45 -0500 (EST) Date: Fri, 17 Jan 1997 10:43:56 -0500 (EST) From: Jamie Bowden To: Jason Bennett cc: multimedia@freebsd.org Subject: Re: /dev/audio In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-multimedia@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk You have to use auplay with auvoxware.

Probably doesn't make any difference (shouldn't be probed), but something to try. The PAS's sound blaster emulation is the only thing that makes me wonder. 2) Low DRQ on SoundBlaster isn't set -- typically set to DRQ 1. Did your sb0 line in your kernel file look something like this?: device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr 3) Your SB16 MIDI port is 300. This is typically set to 330. This is irrelevent to cating to /dev/audio -- just a difference I noted. Other than that, no clues. Good luck on solving your problem.
