OK, so I think I figured out part of the problem. In the mythfrontend setup screens under hardware decoding settings I had checked several times to make sure I had the PVR-350 decoder marked. However, since adding the new card the PVR-350 comes up as video1 not video0 as it did before. I still have video16 set for the encoder output. I realized this after finding a multi megabyte file under /dev named video16. Guessing that this output was increased by one I changed that value to video17 and now I have smoother video output and sound going out the PVR-350 card once again. But now I am still getting this error when trying to record two shows at the same time: error reading from: /dev/video0 read: Device or resource busy I found one thread where the the same minor numbers were set on the device files but that is not the case with my system. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Mar 24 14:30 /dev/video -> video0 crw------- 1 mythtv root 81, 0 Mar 24 14:30 /dev/video0 crw------- 1 mythtv root 81, 1 Mar 24 14:30 /dev/video1 crw------- 1 mythtv root 81, 17 Mar 24 14:30 /dev/video17 crw------- 1 mythtv root 81, 24 Mar 24 14:30 /dev/video24 crw------- 1 mythtv root 81, 25 Mar 24 14:30 /dev/video25 crw------- 1 mythtv root 81, 32 Mar 24 14:30 /dev/video32 crw------- 1 mythtv root 81, 33 Mar 24 14:30 /dev/video33 crw------- 1 mythtv root 81, 49 Mar 24 14:30 /dev/video49 Is there something in the database that needs to be changed to get the second card working? -- Scot L.
