[mythtv-users] Failed HD-PVR recordings

Thu Jul 9 04:13:06 UTC 2009

HI Again,

Another update. Looks like the change to the latest HD-PVR firmware 1.5.6
has caused some recordings/Live TV (1 out of 3) to have no audio. Most of
the time it seems to be on certain stations, like TNTHD or HDTV.

So, I moved one of my HD-PVR back to the previous version I had, 1.3.5. Now
the audio returns. But when switching Live TV, the front end crashes more
often.

Anyone know why the latest firmware causes audio to disappear?

Seems like every time I have one thing fixed, another brakes.  Arrggg!

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Again,

This didn't take long for the error to reappear. OK, I got the /dev/video0
error again.

Below is the error from the Myth Backend log

Anyone know why this is coming out?

Is there any additional log data I can collect to help debug this?

I'm using the following:
