Has anyone else had the issue of problems with ivtv and their system
being up for awhile. After a fresh reboot ivtv records shows
flawlessly, no artifacts or anything. But if it's up for a while, it
will start to record artifacts into the recordings. It's the same
things, ever few seconds a line in the middle, looks like a bunch of
blocky squares runs aross the screen in the middle. Also ever few
seconds, but not the same time as the line, a big block in the bottom
right cornor, round in shape but a bunch of big squares grouped
together. If i reboot and the recording picks up or something, it
stops. But once it starts doing it it does it for all recordings
until i reboot. Even if i just restart mythbackend and frotnend that
doesn't take care of the problem. Anyone have ideas?
Sounds like possibly a heat or a grounding/shielding issue. Here's how
to tell if it's the driver or the hardware:
- stop mythbackend
- modprobe -r ivtv
- modprobe ivtv
- start mythbackend
If this clears up the problem without a reboot, then it could be a
driver issue. If not, it's more likely a hardware issue.
