Hi, I'm seeing similar behavior. Changing channels causes a freeze so it needs a push on the reset button.
For me it happens when I just use mythtv to change channels. Changing channels up to 50 times triggers it for sure here. But only if mythtv does it. If I change channels with "ivtv-tune -f ???" it *doesn't* freeze. I've written a little script that changes between my configured channels with ivtv-tune and it changed channels every 5 seconds for hours without problems, while I did "cat /dev/video0 | xine -" at the same time, seeing the channels change. But when I change channels in mythtv it freezes "for sure" within 40-50 channel changes. I did the "ivtvctl -D479" before the many channel changes, and /var/log/messages is here: http://home.morch.com/misc/noindex/ivtv_messages.txt I haven't actually schduled any recordings, but I'm assuming this is the same problem. uname -r reports 2.6.20-16-generic - but I'm not sure if that is the same as 2.6.20.16 or 2.6.20 ubuntu rev. 16. I haven't been able to find a ubuntu 2.6.21 kernel package for ubuntu and would like to avoid compiling my own kernel, but if this is the problem, let me know and I will. I realize that ivtv's README says: "Kernels 2.6.20 and 2.6.20.1 should not be used due to a bug in the cx25840 firmware loading routine.", but it seems to get past the loading stage fine... Peter I do think I'm running with 0.10.5. I installed Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn (which gave me a slightly older version), downloaded, make-d and installed 0.10.5, removed ubuntu's .ko-s, did a depmod something-or-other, and now dmesg says 0.10.5. P.S.: In order to distinguish whether it was the front or backend that got it to freeze, I tried installing a frontend on another machine and then changing channels on that front end, and yes, the *backend* - with the ivtv card - froze. > mysql -e 'select * from settings where value="VbiFormat"' mythconverg +-----------+------+----------+ | value | data | hostname | +-----------+------+----------+ | VbiFormat | None | NULL | +-----------+------+----------+ > ivtvdmesg [ 14.405847] ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== [ 14.405850] ivtv: version 0.10.5 (tagged release) loading [ 14.405852] ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.20-16-generic SMP mod_unload 586 [ 14.405853] ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info between [ 14.405855] ivtv: the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines, along with [ 14.405856] ivtv: any module options, when mailing the ivtv-users mailinglist.
