Brian, Updated to ivtv-0.3.9. Same problem. Two 30 minute recordings just finished. Once came out 18:37, the other 19:52. Same messages in dmesg:
ivtv warning: ENC Stream 0 OVERFLOW #88: Stealing a Buffer, 512 currently allocated ivtv warning: ENC Stream 0 OVERFLOW #89: Stealing a Buffer, 512 currently allocated ivtv warning: ENC Stream 0 OVERFLOW #90: Stealing a Buffer, 512 currently allocated ivtv warning: ENC Stream 0 OVERFLOW #91: Stealing a Buffer, 512 currently allocated ivtv warning: ENC Stream 0 OVERFLOW #92: Stealing a Buffer, 512 currently allocated [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ Here's what I see with 0.3.9 at boot time. I've asked about the buggy firmware message on this list before before but never received an answer.

It may also be useless when recording one show but mythcomflag is running for a show that has just previously finished recording. This is strange since up to two days ago we never had any trouble at all! thanks, Mark On 9/23/05, Brian Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > A newer version might actually help.
