I have an HVR-1600 on a Pentium 4 2Ghz machine here running Ubuntu 7.10. Overall it works great. Good picture/sound etc running mplayer or vlc on /dev/video0. I do see some unknown command messages from the cx18 driver in the syslog though. Also, It gets a little choppy running LiveTV with MythTV. I think it is a problem with my MythTV setup though since mplayer and vlc seem to play the stream OK. But I thought I would post to you guys to see if you had any suggestions. And to give you some proper kudos. Thanks for the hard work.
I see this in the syslog: [ 2452.422049] cx18-0: Unknown cmd 9b [ 2452.422056] cx18-0: Unknown cmd 9f [ 2452.422058] cx18-0: Unknown cmd a1 [ 2452.422060] cx18-0: Unknown cmd 9d I get this message in the mythtvbackend when it stutters. MPEGRec(/dev/video0) Error: select timeout - ivtv driver has stopped responding. Here is some relevant info.
