Re: [ivtv-users] ivtv/card crashing after some time

Tue, 11 Jul 2006 11:25:44 -0700

Hi

I tried now 0.4.6. It fixes also for me the channel changing issues from 0.4.5 but doesn't fix the crash problems.
I use the firmware referenced from the wiki under this link: http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/firmware/firmware.tar.gz

Now the dmesg output:

I noticed that one in a while this message comes up:

ivtv0 warning: ENC: (0) DMA Error 0x0000000b

Could this have something to do with my problem? I couldn't see a direct dependence between this message and the crashes.

Hi
 
Have you tried ivtv 0.4.6 . This is the newest version for you kernel and fix some issue the ivtv 0.4.5 had with changing channels. And do you use the correct firmware. This is important. Look here http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware. Every time you try a new firmware you must shut down your computer and take out the power for 30 sec. If this don't help you must post the dmesg message
Try dmesg | grep ivtv

I have a PVR 150 and a PVR 350 in the same machine. Both cards are
working but after some time they produce buggy videos. I can see some
artefacts and occasionally some previous frames that were skipped
before. At this point it takes at maximum 10 minutes and the driver/
card crashes. The errors are the following:

When playing the files I see this messages:

After the crash mythtv reports this:

Seek timeout: ivtv driver has stopped responding
All later recordings in Myth have a size of 0 Bytes

cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg also produces 0Byte files. Same with /dev/
video1
ivtv-tune doesn't throw any errors but also doesn't says "Signal
detected" as usually.

After a reboot both cards work again. Sometimes for a half an hour
and sometimes for about 2 days.

I tried every 0.4.x version of ivtv. I can't try 0.6.x or 0.7.x
because of the lack of dmraid support in the new kernels.
The best results I get with 0.4.0-r3 and 0.4.4. With this two
versions the average uptime is about 1 day. All other versions work
just for about 5 minutes.
I also tried different firmwares. The one thats actually in the
gentoo portage and the newest one downloaded from ivtvdriver.org. I
don't know the version numbers.

I had both cards working before in another PC with kernel 2.6.14 and
ivtv 0.4.0-r3.
Now its an ASUS A8V mainboard with an amd64 architecture with kernel
2.6.14.

I have searched a lot for this error but I couldn't find any solution
for this specific problem.

Any suggestions what I could try next?

I really don't know what to do and I NEED my MythTV.

Please help me!!!
