Greetings, I have an HVR-1950 75111 LF REV C3E9. I extracted the drivers from the Version 4.6 CD using http://www.isely.net/downloads/fwextract.pl.

Now my problems: 1. I use mplayer to play both analog and digital. When I issue: % mplayer pvr:// -tv driver=v4l2:input=0:device=/dev/video1:chanlist=us-bcast:channel=10 video and audio work perfectly for about 5 minutes. After that I get this invariably: Broken frame at 0xD5B040 Too many video packets in the buffer: (4096 in 7989804 bytes). Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed? For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option. A: 292.2 V: 281.5 A-V: 10.723 ct: 3.160 8358/8358 8% 1% 20.8% 362 0 >From there on I get a lot of broken frames and the signal never recovers again until I quit and restart mplayer. I'm not sure if this is due to my mplayer settings, I've tried different combinations of parameters to no avail. 2. The digital side is not working at all. The dvb-utils scan application fails to find any station. I'm using a channel configuration file I created for the HVR-950q: % mplayer dvb://VPT-HD Playing dvb://VPT-HD. dvb_tune Freq: 581028615 Not able to lock to the signal on the given frequency, timeout: 30 dvb_tune, TUNING FAILED ERROR, COULDN'T SET CHANNEL 2: Failed to open dvb://VPT-HD. azap fails to tune the channel too. Questions: 1. Any suggestions regarding the analog side? 2. Is there something missing on the digital side? The digital side of the 950q works perfectly and the 1950 works well on the other OS, so it's not an environmental issue.
