Hello all, I just assembled my new PVR: EPIA EX10000EG, PRV 500. I'm running debian, kernel 2.6.20, ivtv 0.10.1, mythtv 0.20, openchrome cvs rev330.
All works well, except for live-tv and tv-recording. (minor detail;-) All recording from the PVR500 stutters about every few seconds visibly. It looks like the video is playing slightly too fast and then pauses to wait for new data. I tried disabling VBI, increasing the IDE pci latency_timer to 176. Nothing seems to help. DVDs play smoothly and recording with cat /dev/video[01] works well too. What can be causing this? I am out of options right now.. Regards, Bert Here are the log recordings: ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== ivtv: version 0.10.1 (tagged release) loading ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.20-1-686 SMP mod_unload 686 ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info between ivtv: the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines, along with ivtv: any module options, when mailing the ivtv-users mailinglist. ivtv0: Autodetected Hauppauge card (cx23416 based) ivtv0: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) ivtv0: loaded v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw firmware (376836 bytes) ivtv0: Encoder revision: 0x02060039 ivtv0: Autodetected WinTV PVR 500 (unit #1) tuner 0-0043: chip found @ 0x86 (ivtv i2c driver #0) tuner 0-0060: chip found @ 0xc0 (ivtv i2c driver #0) tuner 0-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (ivtv i2c driver #0) cx25840 0-0044: cx25843-23 found @ 0x88 (ivtv i2c driver #0) wm8775 0-001b: chip found @ 0x36 (ivtv i2c driver #0) ivtv0: Registered device video0 for encoder MPEG (4 MB) ivtv0: Registered device video32 for encoder YUV (2 MB) ivtv0: Registered device vbi0 for encoder VBI (1 MB) ivtv0: Registered device video24 for encoder PCM audio (1 MB) ivtv0: Registered device radio0 for encoder radio ivtv0: Initialized WinTV PVR 500 (unit #1), card #0 ivtv: ====================== NEXT CARD ====================== ivtv1: Autodetected Hauppauge card (cx23416 based) ivtv1: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) ivtv1: loaded v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw firmware (376836 bytes) ivtv1: Encoder revision: 0x02060039 tuner 1-0043: chip found @ 0x86 (ivtv i2c driver #1) tuner 1-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (ivtv i2c driver #1) cx25840 1-0044: cx25843-23 found @ 0x88 (ivtv i2c driver #1) wm8775 1-001b: chip found @ 0x36 (ivtv i2c driver #1) ivtv1: Correcting tveeprom data: no radio present on second unit ivtv1: Autodetected WinTV PVR 500 (unit #2) ivtv1: Registered device video1 for encoder MPEG (4 MB) ivtv1: Registered device video33 for encoder YUV (2 MB) ivtv1: Registered device vbi1 for encoder VBI (1 MB) ivtv1: Registered device video25 for encoder PCM audio (1 MB) ivtv1: Initialized WinTV PVR 500 (unit #2), card #1 ivtv: ==================== END INIT IVTV ==================== logs from mythfrontend: 2007-05-14 09:58:32.449 TV: Attempting to change from None to WatchingLiveTV 2007-05-14 09:58:32.581 Using protocol version 31 2007-05-14 09:58:34.264 DPMS Deactivated [mpeg @ 0xb73387f0]Parser not found for Codec Id: 94210 ! 2007-05-14 09:58:34.992 AFD: Opened codec 0xa89fd90, id(MPEG2VIDEO) type(Video) 2007-05-14 09:58:34.992 AFD: Opened codec 0xbad4ba0, id(MP2) type(Audio) 2007-05-14 09:58:35.181 Opening ALSA audio device 'default'. 2007-05-14 09:58:35.229 Mixer unable to find control Master 2007-05-14 09:58:35.230 Mixer unable to find control Master 2007-05-14 09:58:35.289 VideoOutputXv: XvMCTex: Init failed 2007-05-14 09:58:35.299 VideoOutputXv: XVideo Adaptor Name: 'XV_SWOV' 2007-05-14 09:58:37.585 Realtime priority would require SUID as root. 2007-05-14 09:58:37.588 TV: Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV 2007-05-14 09:58:37.635 Video timing method: DRM 2007-05-14 09:58:40.558 NVP: prebuffering pause 2007-05-14 09:58:41.198 NVP: prebuffering pause 2007-05-14 09:58:41.798 NVP: prebuffering pause 2007-05-14 09:58:42.238 NVP: prebuffering pause 2007-05-14 09:58:42.718 NVP: prebuffering pause 2007-05-14 09:58:43.221 NVP: prebuffering pause 2007-05-14 09:58:43.702 NVP: prebuffering pause 2007-05-14 09:58:44.228 NVP: prebuffering pause 2007-05-14 09:58:44.678 NVP: prebuffering pause 2007-05-14 09:58:45.159 NVP: prebuffering pause 2007-05-14 09:58:45.582 NVP: prebuffering pause 2007-05-14 09:58:46.102 NVP: prebuffering pause 2007-05-14 09:58:46.639 NVP: prebuffering pause 2007-05-14 09:58:47.079 NVP: prebuffering pause 2007-05-14 09:58:47.559 NVP: prebuffering pause 2007-05-14 09:58:48.039 NVP: prebuffering pause 2007-05-14 09:58:48.544 NVP: prebuffering pause 2007-05-14 09:58:48.999 NVP: prebuffering pause 2007-05-14 09:58:50.039 NVP: prebuffering pause 2007-05-14 09:58:50.943 NVP: prebuffering pause -- ----------------------------------------------- Bert en Selena www.bertenselena.net ----------------------------------------------- Only two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe, and I'm not sure about the latter.
