Hi John,

I can at least confirm the (for me not so frequent) locking of the driver -
a system restart fixes the problem. The syslog then has (full log attached)
...

I have ivtv-0.2.0-rc3f with a 2.4.25 debian kernel and PVR-250 + PVR-350
running here.

Anybody else???

Martin

Betreff: [mythtv] FF/Rew causes MythTV to lock

Using a PVR 350-based combined frontend/backend, my system locks up when I
fast-forward or rewind (not skip forward/back) on Live TV and then hit
"Pause/Play".  Seems to lock up about 80% of the time doing this.

Anyone else having this problem?  Are there fixes or workarounds?

On a related note, why doesn't the 10-minute jump work when watching live TV
(only in recordings)?  If I could jump by 10 minutes at a time in the TV
buffer, I wouldn't need the FF/Rew so much.
