Bug 130748 – media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-firmware-1 - broken url

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description th0th696 2006-04-21 09:17:28 UTC]

Judging from the tree download/windows, I think the new driver is available at:

http://bbti.us/support.htm

and possibly even:

http://bbti.us/download/windows/Technisat_DVB-PC_4_4.zip

Good lord forgot to post the problem ebuild:

media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-firmware


emerge linuxtv-dvb-firmware

Thanks for reporting this missing download. I contacted the guys from linuxtv and there seems to be a new download-location.
Ebuild will be updated in the next days.

You can work around this if you don't need the firmware which could not be downloaded if you set
DVB_CARDS appropriate to your hardware

example:
DVB_CARDS="ttpci tda1004x"

[Comment 3 th0th696 2006-04-23 09:38:30 UTC]

Just to make sure this would go in /etc/make.conf   ?

DVB_CARDS="pchdtv3000"   #or whatever the identifier is for the 3000

[Comment 4 Matthias Schwarzott 2006-04-23 10:12:00 UTC]

unstable (~x86) portage lists this for emerge -pv linuxtv-dvb-firmware:
DVB_CARDS="-dibusb-usb1 -dibusb-usb2 -nxt2002% -nxt200x% -or51132 -or51211 -sp8870% -sp887x% -tda1004x% -ttpci -ttusb-dec% -usb-a800 -usb-dtt200u -usb-umt -usb-vp702x -usb-vp7045 -usb-wt220u"

This are the values out of which you can choose.

For stable portage you also get the list but it is not so nice formatted.
-dvb_cards_dibusb-usb1 -dvb_cards_dibusb-usb2 -dvb_cards_nxt2002 -dvb_cards_nxt200x -dvb_cards_or51132 -dvb_cards_or51211 -dvb_cards_sp8870 -dvb_cards_sp887x -dvb_cards_tda1004x -dvb_cards_ttpci -dvb_cards_ttusb-dec -dvb_cards_usb-a800 -dvb_cards_usb-dtt200u -dvb_cards_usb-umt -dvb_cards_usb-vp702x -dvb_cards_usb-vp7045 -dvb_cards_usb-wt220u

Good deal, I inserted

DVB_CARDS="or51132"

into make.conf and everything went well. 

[Comment 6 Matthias Schwarzott 2006-04-23 12:50:02 UTC]

removed the not downloadable file from the ebuild.
