Hi,

I can get the exact lines for you but it used be something with DMA and
encoder and a mythbackend restart helped.
Now it seems that it doesn´t help.
I´t seems like it can be to somelenght be provoked by pushing the box by
recording dual dvb-t streams and watch a third at the sametime as the
pvr-150 runs.

I´ll apply the latest drivers and report back.

Do you mean rebooting the PC running mythtvbackend, or restarting the
mythtvbackend process? If it is the latter, then it isn't DMA related
since the only way to get it running again after the DMA engine on the
card crashed is by rebooting the PC.

There are some fixes queued for a 2.6.22 dot release, but the easiest way
is to compile the latest and greatest version yourself.

Get these sources:
http://www.linuxtv.org/hg/~hverkuil/v4l-dvb/archive/tip.tar.bz2

Then either compile it all or run 'make menuconfig' first to select only
those v4l-dvb drivers you really need. Run 'make install' as root and you
now have the latest ivtv version.

If this does not help, then enable logging with 'ivtvctl -D479' and see if
that gives some useful logging.

If that doesn't help either, then use ivtvctl -D991 to get much more
logging and mail me the, say, 1000 lines before the capture stopped
working.

Regards,

      Hans
