OK, maybe I sent everyone on a wild goose chase. Somebody tell me if
this makes sense:
- Start X, Mythbackend, Mythfrontend, and start to play live TV, all is
fine.
- Watch memory and it grows to almost max, but mythfrontend doesn't
increase.
- Stop movie and memory returns to normal.
- Start liv
Forgot to mention this: yes, I have about a gig of swap drive setup on

Here's some additional data. Actually, I don't see mythbackend or
mythfrontend growing at all. It only happens while playing (movie or
live tv). Thanks for the help, can I provide any more data?

I'm having a problem with mythfrontend freezing, well, actually it locks
up the entire computer. It can play live TV for 30 to 120 minutes
before it freezes. The same thing happens with recorded movies. It
seems to be memory related.

do it is to run:

When I tried to modprobe ivtv-fb at boot (rc.local), it freezes the

the way, which driver and firmware are you using? Thanks,

Thanks for the replies.
John at Netdirect - I was talking about the "Use PVR250/350 output" in
Mythfrontend's setup, so I'll look at you instructions a bit later. I
was following that thread earlier until I realized it was FC related.
It seems that every time I attempt to apply FC instructions t
I have not been able to get the on-screen menus to appear on the tv-out

driver and firmware are you using? Thanks,

Uuuhh, this may be way off target, but you may want to consider this:
>Installed the ivtv 0.3 driver and it seems to be much better
- ivtv 0.3 is generally considered bleeding edge, you may want to
consider 0.2x

I just took a quick look to see what that error was about. Here's what

I run mythfrontend and the program works fine, except the cursor

I assume it's talking about the encoder hardware on your capture board.
I think the process is something like:

No, hardware wouldn't be my first guess, but, I've seen lots of posts
about early WD drive failures, so, maybe it is. Here's some info:
1. Look for mythpostohfkoL on your machine

- This file does not exist on my machine, but, I'm in the US. Does that
make a difference?

I don't have this problem and I'm no expert, but you asked, so:
1. It's probably related to frame buffers or video drivers for your
specific board.
2. I have friends that claim linux can't be locked up unless you're
doing something with frame buffers.
3. I've seen various posts from earlier ve
If you have a video camera, you can test the remote. Start the camera
recording, point the remote control at it, and press buttons on the
remote. The infra-red signal from the remote will be recorded on the

I did this patch several weeks ago and made all the mistakes. I ended
up rebuilding the kernel and all the modules. However, somebody
suggested doing the following (I wish I had thought of this!)

I seem to recall something about the black and white thing. If you
record in ntsc and the ivtv driver is forced to pal (or vise versa) it
would do this. But I have to admit, I'm not sure how you would get that
combination.

Hi, I'm having difficulty getting menus to display on the tvout of the
pvr350. If I turn off the tvout feature and just use the computers
monitor, it works fine.
I started with the release versions of ivtv and the suggested firmware:

- Firmware - pvr_1.18.21.22168_in
I've no clue what your problem is, but I did some poking around (it
sounded interesting). Here's what I found:
- DirectFB is a video driver layer (direct frame buffer), similar to
MS-DirectX (or at least that's how they describe it)
- It should be compatible with V4L (video for linux)
