A new pvrusb2 snapshot is available. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT UPDATE. Feature-wise the driver looks the same, but a lot has changed under the hood. The goal here was to improve the capture stability. I think I've succeeded - I can no longer cause the video to corrupt. In addition, a stress test written by Hans Verkuil for ivtv which previously failed on this driver now works. I've been working on these changes for a while. I hope you all like the results.
I am not going to print the summary of changes here - it's too lengthy. Instead I invite you to see for youself by looking here: http://www.isely.net/pvrusb2/history.html#pvrusb2-mci-20071116 Please let me know if you see any new problems with this snapshot. Being that there are a large number of changes, the risk for breakage is considerably higher this time. But I do believe this is an overall improvement; I've been beating on the driver here and it's time for others to play. Please try it out. I have been testing with vanilla kernel version 2.6.22.10. I did verify successful compilation of the driver all the way back to 2.6.12 (as usual) but I have NOT tested any of those versions. I also verified correct compilation under 2.6.23.x. I have no reason to suspect there might be problems in other kernels, but one never knows...
