Hi, I rolled back ivtv to 0.3.8 and loaded the firmware from my CD:
HcwFalcn.rom (md5sum: 5f5fa240ada73c3565f5f7de4c7b5138) symlinked to ivtv-fw-enc.bin HcwMakoA.ROM (md5sum: 3a4803384f749d644ee1f1ca9dcb12fa) This second file is the same as the one Alan mentioned in his video distortion post, though it is unclear whether it is the one causing his problem or curing it. It worked for me earlier with ivtv 0.3.7x. dmesg shows ivtv loading with the following error: Allocate DMA encoder PCM audio stream: 455 x 4608 buffers (2048KB total) ivtv: Create encoder radio stream tuner: type set to 56 (Philips PAL/SECAM multi (FQ1216AME MK4)) by ivtv i2c driver #0 cx25840 2-0044: invalid ioctl 40046403 cx25840 2-0044: invalid ioctl 40046404 cx25840 2-0044: invalid ioctl 4004646e cx25840 2-0044: invalid ioctl 40046403 cx25840 2-0044: invalid ioctl 40046406 cx25840 2-0044: invalid ioctl 40046406 eth1394: $Rev: 1312 $ Ben Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> eth1394: eth1: IEEE-1394 IPv4 over 1394 Ethernet (fw-host0) ivtv: Initialized WinTV PVR 500 (unit #1), card #0 (same for second unit) mplayer plays the stream from video0 generally with better quality than I was having with the 0.5.1 setup, although my weak channel is still much worse than it was on my old setup (and very much worse than feeding the signal directly to the tv). MythTV crashes out of Live TV without playing, and gives the following error: Connecting to backend server: 192.168.1.5:6543 (try 1 of 5) 2005-12-19 14:59:45.096 Using protocol version 22 2005-12-19 14:59:45.172 TV: Attempting to change from None to WatchingLiveTV 2005-12-19 14:59:45.186 Using protocol version 22 2005-12-19 14:59:45.296 GetEntryAt(-1) failed. 2005-12-19 14:59:45.297 EntryToProgram([EMAIL PROTECTED] Jan 1 01:00:00 1970) failed to get pginfo 2005-12-19 14:59:45.297 TV Error: LiveTV not successfully started 2005-12-19 14:59:45.297 TV Error: LiveTV not successfully started Wondering what I need to do to get mythtv to play with the downgraded ivtv?
