Hello!
I recently bought a PVR-150MCE. After initial failures I succeeded in
getting capture from composite video/audio inputs to work. My kernel is
2.6.15 and my success was with ivtv-0.4.1. I thought that would be the
end of my troubles...
Then when I tried to set the inputs again using ivtvctl, /dev/video0
froze, and I now get the "warning: Encoder mailbox not found" error
whenever I load the driver. Cold reboot doesn't make any difference.
After trying the patches to the source suggested in Hans's earlier
postings in this thread to no avail, I upgraded to 0.4.2. Still no joy.
I wonder if maybe the card is faulty - unfortunately (?) I don't have an
XP installation on which to test it. I've read the howto,
troubleshooting page and looked in the lists - so would be grateful for
any ideas of where to go.
Tony
System details: debian sarge with home-built 2.6.15 kernel.
