[ivtv-users] 0.6.x causes issues in MythTV

David Reitz Sun, 18 Jun 2006 20:20:14 -0700

Hello,

I know this isn't a MythTV list, but I'm pretty sure my problem is somehow, someway related to the ivtv driver (but please correct me if you think I am wrong!!). My setup is as follows:

MSI K8NGM2-FID motherboard (nvidia 6150 + 430)
Hauppauge PVR-350
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Fedora Core 2
mythfrontend 0.18.2.20051227-1 and mythbackend 0.18.2.20051227-1 (both running on the same machine)

So far, I have tried a custom built 2.6.16.20 vanilla kernel with the every 0.6.x driver I could get my hands on (0.6.0, 0.6.1, 0.6.2 and 0.6 tarball). Every time I get the following errors below in mythfrontend (this is the only thing I have to go on and it only happens when watching Live TV)... no errors that I have seen in dmesg output, so nothing good to report there, and nothing reported in mythbackend. If I go back to a custom built Fedora Core 2 2.6.10 kernel using ivtv 0.4.5, everything appears to work fine -- NO problems. I would like to get the new 0.6.x series working if possible since I need new features of the newer kernels. At this point, I'm considering downgrading to 2.6.15 and 0.4.5, but thought I would post here just in case someone else has run into something similar, or in case I actually have run into some sort of bug... Please let me know if you need any other information I haven't provided... I apologize for the long post! Thanks for taking the time to read!
