A mail order company contacted me about offering a Linux htpc with Myth and the Hauppauge PVR USB 2. But the problem is that with much usage the PVR USB 2 keep crashing with messages like this: 2007-04-17 13:30:03.709MPEGRec(/dev/video0) Error: select timeout. Unplugging it and re-attaching it solves the problem. However, they want to sell this as a consumer product and so it has to be 100% rock solid. I've got the latest drivers built with Ubuntu.
I assume it's a driver issue, because once Myth reports this problem, I can't even cat the /dev/video0 anymore and have to unplug/reinsert it to get it going again. I'm running on ubuntu 6.10 with the latest drivers from the stie. Do you know if the drivers are supposed to be solid and stable, or if this is a known issue? If the drivers aren't 100% ready for prime time yet, is somebody working on fixing any issues? I'm a c++ coder, though I don't know anything about the code in the pvr usb2 drivers. If these are driver bugs, is there somebody willing to work with me on resolving them?
