[mythtv-users] Unable to capture with Myth 0.17

[Jay]

I had similar problems with my 250-MCE card. Reboot your backend. When it is completely done loading, restart mythbackend. 

 

The problem seems to be that mythbackend is starting before modprobe ivtv is finished. I haven’t figured out a way to stop this from happening, but the restart of mythbackend before anything else seems to make it work.

Subject: [mythtv-users] Unable to capture with Myth 0.17

 

I had a perfectly working Mythtv 0.16 installation running on my FC2 machine. I am using IVT 0.3.2d to support my PVR-150MCE PAL. I am using a XBOX as frontend.

 

About a week ago I took the big step and upgraded both the FC2 backend and the XBOX frontend to Myth 0.17 and ever since I have not been able to capture any streams though Myth. However capturing manually with “cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg” and tuning with ptune works perfect. 

When Myth is recording a scheduled program there is no indication of an error in mythbackend.log, but all I end up with is a 0 Byte file. When I am trying to watch live tv with the front end I get “Couldn’t read data from the capture card in 15 seconds. Stopping.”.

There are no problems with playing previously recorded programs with the frontend.

I have tried to reinstall the IVTV driver – With no luck.

All I did was upgrading Myth using apt-get.

Are there any other preparations that needs to be done to do the upgrade??

 

I am very close to downgrading to 0.16 again, but I really would like 0.17 to work…

Btw. How do I downgrade Myth??

 

Thanks - Martin
