Hi, I have pvr150 and I am using ivtv from the kernel (2.6.22.1) at the moment. The problem is that I received pretty often this (but I saw no problems in my recordings ... I think):
Sep 9 17:10:53 jingle kernel: ivtv0: All encoder MPEG stream buffers are full. Dropping data. Sep 9 17:10:53 jingle kernel: ivtv0: Cause: the application is not reading fast enough. or this (much more often): Sep 11 19:53:05 jingle kernel: ivtv0: DMA TIMEOUT 00000001 0 Sep 11 19:53:45 jingle last message repeated 4 times Sep 11 19:54:53 jingle last message repeated 7 times Sep 11 19:56:02 jingle last message repeated 7 times and my computer becomes unresponsive after some time (X, ssh, etc). only reset "helps". these are the last lines from syslog (before reboot), which brings me to the conclusion that ivtv locks down my box. I just compiled 2.6.22.6 but I saw the first message right after reboot: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/packages# dmesg | grep Dropping ivtv0: All encoder VBI stream buffers are full. Dropping data. ivtv0: All encoder VBI stream buffers are full. Dropping data. ivtv0: All encoder MPEG stream buffers are full. Dropping data. ivtv0: All encoder MPEG stream buffers are full. Dropping data. ivtv0: All encoder VBI stream buffers are full. Dropping data. it is probably same ivtv version in this kernel as in 2.6.22.1 ?? should I use ivtv from ivtvdriver.org instead of kernel version? I saw a few discussions on the list about DMA TIMEOUT, but I am not sure whether this was solved? I am asking this because the ivtvdriver homepage says: --------------- This release does NOT contain the ivtv driver proper, as that is now part of kernel 2.6.22. It does contain test tools, utilities and the ivtv-fb and saa717x drivers. --------------- that means that ivtv is not in the downloaded file? so I should expect no changes after compiling it? Thanks a lot. M. _______________________________________________ ivtv-devel mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-devel
