There didn't appear to be any "normal" time before that.
If you stop the recording with VBI errors and start another, does the new one also have the VBI errors? Recordings on other devices are unaffected, but if a device goes "bad" it will continue having this error on all other recordings attempted on that device until the system is rebooted. I don't even think removing ivtv and putting it back in fixes the issue, but don't quote me on that. Anyway, I would like to see a log that includes the period where the VBI capture is still fine. Weird problem. This time it was a 7:00 show and the first VBI error was timestamped 07:00:03. No errors before that, although I didn't have extra debugging turned on this time.

Cyrus p.s. Just a thought, is it possible that running ivtv-tune at the same time as a VBI or recording process is giving the device too many commands at once causing some sort of rare conflict? _______________________________________________ ivtv-devel mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-devel
