Alex,

Yes, I get that too. Do you happen to be running Fedora Core 4 (or specifically, was mythfrontend
compiled with gcc 4?

The std::bad_alloc problem seems to be related to the aspect ratio calculated in NuppelVideoPlayer.cpp. I'm wondering if maybe the new compiler or runtime is treating inf/nan (floating point) differently...

Thanks,

Mike

Gambit, just to add to your question (without offering any
solutions...) I just recently started using firewire via a 6200 on a
slave backend on my system.  While I don't experience any issues with
channel changing at all, I do get the same 15 second timeout that
you're seeing - particularly while trying to watch live TV through the
firewire.  Additionally, I will get some recordings that cause the
frontend to crash.  They're not zero-size recordings, but something
gets "corrupted' to some degree which causes Myth to freak out when
trying to view them. They give this error on the frontend logs:

"terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what(): St9bad_alloc
Aborted"
Interestingly, they can be played back successfully using mplayer
manually.  Also, they playback just fine in the small "preview" window
in Myth on the recorded shows screen.   After searching the mailing
lists, I know I'm not alone in experiencing this either.

Anyway, I too am searching for solutions to both of these problems as
I think many (most?) 6200-firewire users are experiencing them.  Does
anyone know if there's been any development recently on anything
firewire related? (or if there's anything in the pipeline?)

Possibly the show you are trying to record has protections enabled (or

use test-mpeg2 to try to manually record it into a temporary directory

Ouch! Seperate shows are encrypted? I thought they just encrypted the channels.
Sorry for replying to myself, but I know it isn't seperate encrypted
programs. I have
been able to record the same program on the same channel. Does anyone
know of a way to have the driver (er... what is this called in linux?)
reset itself after each show? Maybe that'll do it.

BTW: I have tried gscanbus and that doesn't work. :-p
