The Tekkeon MP1550 Black Mobile Power & Battery Charger is a single unit solution for charging your tablet/cell phone/etc. plus recharging your NiMh AA batteries. It is available from Newegg for $30 shipped. The item referred to in the thread you linked is no longer available (it was probably too cheap).

But how do you power the USB hub?

Found out from another forum that mplayer cannot handle ipv6 streams. So if you are trying this in Finland or somewhere else where ipv6 is used mp4player from mpeg4ip.sourceforge.net should be able to show channels. No idea if it works with tablet.

What does the CONFIG_MUSB_PIO_ONLY do? Does it disable anything?

Thanks.

it disables DMA support for USB ops, apparently due to a bug in the
driver/chipset. this is probably why usb throughput is so sucky.

Moin, I have it running on the desktop. Would it be possibe to use the desktop as a proxy so that other clients on the local ethernet could receive the stream? I tried bridgeing dvb0_0 and the iface that goes to the local net but can't get it to work. tcpdump on dvb0_0 shows multicast traffic, but tcpdump on the bridge shows nothing.
The idea ultimately is to get the stream to wlan and to pick it up on the N800.

Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks for that great tutorial.
Does anyone know if the osso-media-server is able to play sdp? Can I use this player to watch DVB-H?
Thanks,

Sam

I am wondering if there is any activity with this project? DVB-H is now an approved standard so it'd be great to try this out with diablo OS, as I have two different USB dvb-t sticks and a powered hub.

Well, why don't you give it a go? It should work. In fact, anything over USB should work as long as drivers (and firmware) works on ARM (armel (little endian)).

In this case the firmware is platform agnostic (because the kernel modules are open source), so if you can get driver to work on your USB stick with the Linux kernel in Diablo (or you compile your own one) you should be set.

If you load the driver then you also get your firmware loaded. It works for me using ExpressCard on Linux/AMD64. But in my case I had to extract firmware from Windows driver. Still, putting it in /lib/firmware solved it, and logs and dmesg are useful and informative.

The firmware is often distributed on /lib/firmware on Linux distributions (in my case 21 in /lib/firmware/dvb-*, 15 of which are /lib/firmware/dvb-usb-*). If they're not available in your Linux distribution you can even download them online or extract them from the Windows drivers. The package name in Ubuntu is linux-firmware.

Here some stations (public TV and public radio) are free to listen on DVB-H and DVB-T. But some (commercial ones) are not free. Then you need decoder. But say I had already DVB-T instead of analog cable (or DVB-C) then I could also use this for DVB-H or DVB-T. Irony is that some of those are free to listen/view on Internet, often on their own website.

Nokia N96 (N95 successor) also supports DVB-H, as does some Samsung phone. The latter was heavily marketed as part of a KPN subscription during WC2008 and OS2008. N96 came too late though; and afaik it has flopped, as it was compared to N95-2 too expensive to justify its costs (and in some ways it was not even as good). The trick with DVB-H is of course that it does not cost the ISP data over 3G.

The German text can be translated with Google or Babelfish or something. If someone has specific questions feel free to ask them and I'll do my best with my (albeit limited) German...

My congratulations Stefan.

I have got TVB-T usb stick, coming with XP Windows drivers.
How to check Linux compatibility
and please tell me how long does it takes things to work.

As DVB-H tests are under way and access is not restricted,
should I go now for one N800 / N810 ?

But I am afraid, without step-by-step manual
I have a little chance to succeed.
