    super, und ich habe meine xcard erst kürzlich verkauft...

    naja...

    VDR#1: TT FF 1.3 | Duron 2600+ | 512MB RAM | easyVDR0.62 | VDR1.4.7 | DolbyDigital 5.1 per ac3dec |ATRIC IR-Einschalter | GraphLCD | NVRAM-wakeup | WakeOnCall über FritzBox | PicoAV Board 1.1 | Atmolight mit Ikea Diodern.

    Without a licence, an author, some documentation it's not really usable/useful...

    Who wrote the driver? ....

    I dont know sigma driver very well so ll make some speculations

    1. The current driver is based on Sigma SDK. The Sigmas one is based on the same SDK but much more older version. So Im expecting that the current driver has more functionality.
    2. The current driver is using hotplug to load microcode into chipset. You can extract microcode from windows driver and use it very well. The Sigmas driver is using old version of microcode, so Im not sure that it can play divx3 or maybe something else.
    3. The structure of this driver is modular, so It is possible implement drivers for all PCI-board from Sigma with single interface. I have enough reverse-engeneered material to create driver for any Sigmas board (like NetStream, Ventura2000 etc) but I dont have that hardware and I cant test board-specific code. This is the only reason why the drivers for other cards are not made.

    If the license is finally GPLed and you need some help in testing and adapting to different boards/chips, let me know ...

    Currently the em840x driver is disabled in svn, and it doesn't compile when being activated.
    AFAIK there are much more em840x(Activy) users around here than em847x users, so it would be very nice to have this one working ...

    P.S. Is your email address correct Master Yoda ? I didn't get an answer to my question some weeks ago :(

    Support of em8400-based cards is under development. But I need help from owners of that cards. There is new module sigma-test.ko added in opensigma project. it conserns users of all Sigmas-boards (based on em8400 and em8470 chipset)

    Please, read README about usage of that module

    Hi, I tried new driver
    It works fine, on x32 bits system.
    Need demux mpeg2 file, and test with mpeg2 video stream:
    cat file.mpv > /dev/sigma/video0

    I will try port mplayer from realmagic driver to open-sigma, but I do not know if I can...
    My knowledge of C++ not fine...

    Helau, what you think about?
    :)

    The mplayer part of em84xx is based on the fmp library, and does not communicate directly with the driver.
    The perfect solution would be to write a new library for the open source driver, but I do not have the time to do something like that.
    Also the current solution with the old fmp library and realmagic84xx driver is working for me good enough ...
