[mythtv-users] saa7127 does not switch to PAL

[Hugo van der Kooij]

Hi,

I try to test the PVR-350 with 'modprobe saa7127 test_image=1' but I get
the output as NTSC according to my syslog:

Dec 29 18:52:37 saruman kernel: saa7127: video encoder driver unloaded
Dec 29 18:52:43 saruman kernel: saa7127: Ignoring new-style parameters in
presence of obsolete ones
Dec 29 18:52:43 saruman kernel: saa7127: video encoder driver version V

Dec 29 18:52:44 saruman kernel: saa7127: Selecting NTSC video Standard

Dec 29 18:52:44 saruman kernel: ivtv: i2c attach [client=saa7127[0],ok]

(The image is B&W so I guess it may be right.)

The use of ivtvctl does not help despite the indication I am using the
proper hex code:

[root at saruman database]# ivtvctl -s
ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUMSTD
        index       : 0
        ID          : 0x0000000000003000
        Name        : NTSC
        Frame period: 1001/30000
        Frame lines : 525

        index       : 1
        ID          : 0x00000000000000FF
        Name        : PAL
        Frame period: 1/25
        Frame lines : 625

        index       : 2
        ID          : 0x00000000007F0000
        Name        : SECAM
        Frame period: 1/25
        Frame lines : 625
