Howdy.
I'm having a problem, and am still trying to narrow it down, but I thought I'd post the symptoms in case this is a know problem.
I'm using a PVR-500 with an AMD64 in 32 bit mode, kernel 2.6.11.7, and MythTV. The PVR-500 is in a master backend, and I am using a separate frontend to watch recordings.
With ivtv-0.3.2y, Myth will happily record programs for weeks on its own. However, if I watch a prerecorded program on the frontend (basically just pulling video over NFS), the backend will eventually (roughly three times per half hour) reboot. There are no error messages in messages or syslog.
If I move up to ivtv-0.3.4j, I no longer get the reboots. I've recorded two shows at the same time, while watching a different recorded one with the frontend at the same time, for over an hour, with no reboots. However, both live TV, and the recordings made during this time, can get into a horrible echo state, so bad you can not make out most dialog. It appears that the video skips a short bit, and then the echo starts, gets progressively worse, gets progressively better, and then is gone for a short while. Viewing the recordings on two different front ends shows that the echo is in the recording. It is not a simple single echo, like listening to the same audio through two different outputs where one is delayed, this is like yelling on a canyon, with roughly four decreasing echos. But with dialog, it sounds like a real mess.
I'll try different versions of ivtv tonight and see if I can find when the reboot goes away, and when the echoing starts, but it will take a while, since the reboot could take 20 minutes or longer.
If this rings any bells, I'd appreciate any info.
Thanks,
-Michael
