There has been some time now I last wrote to the list. I've been busy trying to cooc up a new box for my self. Some time ago I had different kind of problems and someone suggested using ready made packages from. i.e. cachalot. I have now succesfully built a box for my self with fedora core 7 with cachalot and livna repositories. At first I had problems with getting DXR card to work with fedora core 7 but now everything is otherwise fine but wss signaling does not seem to work. Do I need to patch the kernel or em8300 or something to make it work? Or do I still have to compile the CVS version of dxr3? Any pointers would be preciated.
I have vdr-1.4.6-1 with dxr3-0.2.7. They are both installed via yum. I have also installed kmod-em8300 using yum (as everything else in the box). Kernel version is 2.6.22.1-41.fc7.

The WSS patches are included in the em8300 modules shipped in Fedora, and version 0.2.7 of the DXR3 plugin contains the WSS patch also upstream, no patchwork needed. Note that (AFAIK) you need an ADV7170 based DXR3/H+ for this WSS stuff to work, and it needs to be enabled in the DXR3 plugin's setup through VDR's OSD.

Thanks for the prompt responce. Did not have chance to check the card before now. It was not an ADV7170 based soI changed it to ADV7175. No luck though. Still no wss and tv must be changed by hand usint tv's remote. And I know the tv supports it because when using FF cards output it worked fine.
Any other hints? What should the parameters for adv717x module be?

Hm, so you have an ADV7175 based one currently? Sorry, I don't think that helps - again, as far as I know, the WSS stuff only works with ADV7170 based cards. The patched adv717x driver never even tries to set the WSS mode for any other DXR3/H+'s. I don't have any others than a couple of ADV7170 based cards so I can't test with anything else. It could be useful to ask on dxr3-devel or dxr3-plugin lists if someone can help out more.

There are no module parameters that affect WSS. Programs using the driver set the desired WSS mode themselves. The patched em8300setup program can be used for this too if you want to try out something.

I have both and I can confirm that the ADV7175 does not support WSS. If you're really bored feel free to compare the datasheets http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/48906/AD/ADV7175.html http://www.ortodoxism.ro/datasheets/analogdevices/168564552ADV7170_1_a.pdf
ADV7170 has WSS support "clearly" stated where as ADV7175 makes no mention of it at all.

Oh, sh.. So I either find a 7170 based card or use tv remote every time there is wide screen. Or set the mode to 4:3 (which I hate because of loss in picture quality)

I managed to find a ADV7170 card and now WSS works.
Thanks to who partissipated.
