[mythtv-users] mythtv ringbuffer errors

Using Fedora Core 2. MythTV 18

I have one of these Roslyn cards as well.  I have not gotten it to
work with the current version of Myth.  I have had some success with
the tvtime. You will need the current version of the cx88 drivers +
firmware for the card, extracted from the Windows drivers to get the
MPEG encoder working.  The endocoder outputs to /dev/video1. 
www.plutohome.com has a version of the cx88 blackbird drivers that are
supposed to have IVTV wrappers so MythTV will have minimal support.  I
have not gotten them to work as yet and I don't know what cards they
have tested with..  Also, there is no sound support as yet for this
card.

If you need more help let me know.  The more people working on this
card the quicker it will work with MythTV.

Cheers,

SuperSlug
