Hello,

I have a new MythTV box here that mostly works. It's running MythTV 0.19
with ivtv 0.7.0 on the latest FC5 2.6.17 kernel.

During playback, once every ten minutes or so, the playback will freeze.
At that point, the following message appears in the syslog:

Sep  1 23:06:22 tourbillon kernel: ivtv0 warning: DEC: Decoder wants 0x00010000 
bytes, bad memory location 0x00010000.

Occasionally, I also see these, but I'm not sure if they're related to
the freezes:

Sep  1 23:07:27 tourbillon kernel: ivtv0 warning: DEC: Decoder Invalid type 
0x60220000?
Sep  1 23:07:27 tourbillon kernel: ivtv0 warning: DEC: Decoder Invalid type 
0x06475af5?
Sep  1 23:07:32 tourbillon last message repeated 35733 times

Each of these freezes can be easily fixed by briefly pressing Rewind,
after which playback continues normally again.

I'm using an Asus P5P800 SE motherboard with a 500 Gb Seagate Barracuda
7200.9 SATA drive. The box contains two Hauppauge PVR-350 TV tuners.

Any ideas? I've scouted around the mailing lists and elsewhere on the
Net, but most freezes people are suffering from are hard system freezes,
not soft playback freezes that can be fixed with one key on the remote
control.

It's not a huge deal, because it only happens on playback. If it happens
while I watch a programme that's being recorded, the programme continues
to be recorded all the way to the end. I'd be much more bothered if
recording were freezing up, but it's just playback.

Nevertheless, it would be nice to get it fixed. If anyone has any ideas,
I'd be very grateful.

I've already tried the fix documented here:

but that's for a different kind of freeze and doesn't apply to me.

Thanks,

Ian
