[mythtv-users] Myth freezes on ff and rew

[Bill Fasbinder]

One thing of note:

I had tried to puase a recording again and was composing my last e-mail to this
group when the display released and reverted to a pause state. I was able to
unpuase and watch for a while. I, of course, tried to FF and again had the same
issue. Looking at dmesg output I see this:

ivtv: ENC: PGM Index at 0x0017e56c with 0x00000190 elements
saa7115: decoder disable output
saa7115: decoder enable output
ivtv: DEC: User stopped waitq.
ivtv: OSD: Last DMA xfer from 0xbf37a008 of 1376256 bytes failed with (-4)
offset = 0x00000000
ivtv: DEC: User stopped waitq.
ivtv: OSD: Last DMA xfer from 0xbf37a008 of 1376256 bytes failed with (-4)

Does that indicate anything to anyone?
