Hi. My MythTV box has been running for a long time without problems, but this is the second time this has happened in a few weeks. Lost quite a bit of the Olympics.
The recordings will be fine, then they're zero-bytes. I see this in mythbackend.log: *********************** WARNING *********************** ivtv drivers prior to 0.10.0 can cause lockups when reading VBI. Drivers between 0.10.5 and 1.0.3+ do not properly capture VBI data on PVR-250 and PVR-350 cards. 2008-08-17 19:00:13.430 MPEGRec(/dev/video0) Error: select timeout - ivtv driver has stopped responding 2008-08-17 19:00:18.964 MPEGRec(/dev/video0) Error: select timeout - ivtv driver has stopped responding 2008-08-17 19:00:24.498 MPEGRec(/dev/video0) Error: select timeout - ivtv driver has stopped responding (I see the above line hundreds of times) Rebooting fixes that, but that's not a good solution. Googling around and looking at the archives of this list, I see mention of turning off DMA on ivtv. I don't know how to do that, but this box doesn't do that much else and it's usually over 90% idle, so I don't know that it would do any good. I've seen other posts with this error in conjunction with other errors, leading to other causes (like directory positions), but the only messages I see are the message about the ivtv driver version, and the MPEGRec error. I find the ivtv drivers error curious, since I'm running ivtv 1.2.0. Any ideas? Thanks.
