Sorry I didn't reply quicker. I'm really having a bad day today. Multiple problems have suddenly happened (nothing to do with pvrusb2), including a pending massive disk failure on my mythtv backend no thanks to Seagate and their crappy firmware. (Two replacement Western Digital drives are now on order and I have to quickly back up the remains of the still-working degraded RAID array before a second drive fails - and there is another drive in there with the known-bad firmware so it's just a matter of time...) I might be unable to progress on the pvrusb2 driver tonight because of this. But I digress. Anyway, Mauro is trying to unify the mailing lists. There a new list, linux-media which is hosted at vger.kernel.org. Anything involving the previous 3 lists (video4linux, linux-dvb, v4l-dvb-maintainer) is theoretically instead supposed to be discussed on the one new list. Of course, for now it's just ANOTHER list and since now lots of stuff is being cross-posted the net effect is just the opposite :-( I already started this discussion on linux-media and Mauro has posted a reply describing what you really need to do for this. (Plus there's another pvrusb2 change I have to implement to make this possible and right now I'm not sure how to do it.) You may want to go find an archive for it and read the thread. Just find the most recent post from me and backtrack from there. -Mike -- Mike Isely isely @ pobox (dot) com PGP: 03 54 43 4D 75 E5 CC 92 71 16 01 E2 B5 F5 C1 E8 _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
