I'm getting lots of VBI errors recently. One particular one that pops up frequently is in dmesg is:
ivtv0 warning: Cannot obtain 1690835328 bytes for encoder VBI data transfer ivtv0 warning: Cannot obtain 1690835328 bytes for encoder VBI data transfer ivtv0 warning: Cannot obtain 1690835328 bytes for encoder VBI data transfer ivtv0 warning: Cannot obtain 1690835328 bytes for encoder VBI data transfer ivtv0 warning: Cannot obtain 1690835328 bytes for encoder VBI data transfer ivtv0 warning: Cannot obtain 1690835328 bytes for encoder VBI data transfer ... I have not been able to discern any rhyme or reason to why it appears. All I can tell you is my configuration... kernel 2.6.20-1.2952.fc6 ivtv 0.10.3 PVR-500 and PVR-150 low profile (3 tuners total) AMD 64 X2 ... and what I'm doing which is recording about 12 hour-long programs every day, usually in two simultaneous recordings (i.e. 2 simultaneous hour long recordings 6 times a day), as well as saving the closed captions for those programs to files using lt-zvbi-ntsc-cc . It doesn't happen every time, but it's become a daily (or every other day) routine to see those VBI errors appear in the logs and have to reboot the machine. I have some machines with nearly identical configurations (2.6.18 and 2.6.17 kernels with varying ivtv versions and a single PVR-250) that NEVER get these errors. They have run smoothly for months. At the very least, can someone answer this question for me: what am I dealing with here? Hardware problems or driver issues?
