-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 My MythTV box is set up with a PVR-350 and a PVR-250MCE. The latter has been acting up lately (garbled encoding); I've tried replacing the passive heatsink with a chipset heatsink/fan and that appeared to work for a while, but now it's misbehaving again.
I figured I'd give the Plextor TV402U a shot. I downloaded the Linux driver from their website, installed it, and got captures working at the command line without much fuss. I then set up MythTV to use it. I had some database corruption that needed fixing (the table with the input device types had multiple FireWire entries, probably from running a CVS ebuild in the past), but once that was fixed, MythTV was playing live TV and recording from the TV402U. With both the PVR-x50s and TV402U configured, though, after (maybe) one successful recording from a PVR-x50, they won't do any more recording. If a file is successfully recorded, it won't be indexed and scanning through the file will produce garbled output. More frequently, though, you'll get a zero-byte recording. The TV402U keeps working properly. Has anyone else noticed similar behavior? (Config: Athlon XP 2400+ on an FIC AU13 (nForce2) with 512 MB RAM and a GeforceFX 5200. I've observed the same behavior with MythTV 0.18 and 0.18.1. Currently-installed driver versions are ivtv 0.3.3k for the PVR-x50s and wis-go7007-linux 0.9.4 for the TV402U. The underlying system is Gentoo, running Linux 2.6.9.) _/_ / v \ Scott Alfter (remove the obvious to send mail) (IIGS( http://alfter.us/ Top-posting! \_^_/ rm -rf /bin/laden >What's the most annoying thing on Usenet? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCl29RVgTKos01OwkRAlNEAJ4meMmyiS+sPYI/MSXYP3drMsdsSQCbBfOQ 3vkEYpFFEEU7Qy5wqjZUapw= =kN3r -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
