Installed the latest media-video/vcr package (for my gentoo-pvr), and it worked beautifully, except the video was upside down. I searched the web and found entries for a similar bug being fixed in Debian, but nothing about gentoo. So, I browsed the cvs and found references to a "flipped vcr fix" that was put into the package and then subsequently removed. So I sent an email to the fixer who had provided the patch for debian and he told me that I had to do the following in capproc.cc // RO patch to fix mirroring memcpy(tmpframe + i*c_bpl, z + (i)* o_bpl + o_x_off, c_bpl); //memcpy(tmpframe + i*c_bpl, z + (o_y_end -i -1)*o_bpl + o_x_off,c_bpl); So I did an emerge unpack, and then modified the source, and then did an emerge-compile, and -install, and -qmerge and it works great! Apparently the old code was there to deal with a weird issue in avifile which has subsequently been fixed. It would be wonderful to see this in the vcr package. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build a box with a bttv card (Mine was an ATI TV-Wonder) 2. Install gentoo 3. Install vcr 4. Try to record some TV Actual Results: Video upside down Expected Results: Video rightside up
I hate to shoot yet another bug your way, liquidx, but: 14 Sep 2002; Seemant Kulleen <seemant@gentoo.org> vcr-1.09-r1.ebuild files/digest-vcr-1.09-r1 : Fix for flipped vcr output submitted by gentoo@liquidx.net (Alastair Tse) in bug #7919. Moved patches to one patchfile and it now resides on ibiblio instead.
do you know which version of avifile you are using?
bug reporter? i don't have a tv tuner anymore, so i can't test it. if you could let me know which version of avifile you have installed, i can make sure since which version this was fixed.
hello Dave? could you let me know which version of avifile you are using?
i just added 1.10 ... try that out please ... it uses latest avifile :)
thru some limited testing, seems to work fine now. closing
