I'm getting the same problem too, i don't have mythtv so it shouldn't be that causing it.
It was a while ago that i last had the pc capturing from the card but from memory cat will keep running but stop reading any data. Killing cat and rerunning it doesn't make a difference, there will still be nothing read. Leaving the PC for a day or two and running cat doesn't get it to work (rules out heat issues?). I'm sure i tried unloading/reloading the ivtv modules but any time i tried it, it never worked properly and only way to get the card to capture was to reboot and it'll capture with cat fine straight after. Currently running cat /dev/vide0 now after turning the debugging on and will report back here. Currently going for just over 30mins and it's fine. cheers, Mike Hans Verkuil wrote: > > To be honest I haven't come across something like this before.
