I have knoppmyth box running 0.18.1 version of mythtv that I am trying to get my second card working.
I have a pvr-250 and a pvr-350 card in the box, however only the 350 seems to be initializing. The detailed error I am getting is: vtv warning: Encoder mailbox not found ivtv warning: Decoder mailbox not found ivtv: Error locating firmware. ivtv: Error -12 on initialization I have already tuned the min_free_kbytes variable with no affect # cat /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes 16384 Hmm, looks like I may have the infamous "type 50" card? You may wish to email me directly in addition to the list and my list seems to be in an unknown state right now. Subscribed, but not getting the mail?
