After the update, I cannot watch live TV. In fact trying to do so leaves my PVR 250 in an unusable state. mythfrontend --verbose gives the following output:
2005-02-12 18:34:33.561 taking too long to be allowed to read..
2005-02-12 18:34:38.561 taking too long to be allowed to read..
2005-02-12 18:34:43.562 taking too long to be allowed to read..
2005-02-12 18:34:43.562 Took more than 10 seconds to be allowed to read, aborting.
Couldn't read file: rbuf://192.168.93.106:6543/mnt/mythtv/ringbuf1.nuv
2005-02-12 18:34:43.588 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
2005-02-12 18:34:43.588 Decoder not alive, and trying to play..
2005-02-12 18:35:03.594 ReadStringList timeout (quick).
I can do the following just fine after a reboot or removing the ivtv module and reloading it.
$ cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg $ mplayer test.mpg
Once I start mythfrontend and try to Watch Live TV, further attempts to capture as above fail as does watch live TV. I notice that ringbuf1.nuv only gets to about 60k in size. After mythfrontend has been started and things break, a command like "mplayer /dev/video0" will stop buffering around 60k.
The only changes shown by ivtvctl -a before and after I try to watch live TV are:
-bitrate : 8000000
-bitrate_peak: 9600000
+bitrate : 4500000
+bitrate_peak: 6000000
ioctl: VIDIOC_G_FMT
Type : Video Capture
- Width : 720
+ Width : 480
-Volume = 58880
+Volume = 58950Can anyone offer suggestions as to how I can fix this? _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
