I'm using a PVR 350 and from time to time either the sound or the picture is
gone/freezes. Therefore I wounder if it wouldn't be an idea to implement
some sort of reset option for the ivtvctl program.
Since it is difficult to provke the problem the best hint for now is when
replaying some mpeg2 recording from disk that ends abruptly i.e. because the
disk ran out of space when performing the recording. Furthermore, the driver
doesn't seem to be robust when performing byte reads from video16 and byte
writes to video0 while some other resouce tries to get access to these
streams, which in some cases can freeze the system.
Only workaround that works in both cases is a reboot either hard or soft...
It would also be nice to be able to quit the ivtv-radio program by writing
"quit" or something. The process is not impossible, yet anoying to stop from
within a multimedia center program. Would be nice to have a nice and clean
way to exit in supplement to ctl+c.
I'm running ivtvctl version 0.42 on a fedora 4 box with kernel
2.6.14-1.1656_FC4
lspci -v yields:
"
01:00.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC15 MPEG-2

Cheers,
René
