[mythtv-users] HDPVR, 0.23-fixes: encoding errors

[Steven Sartorius]

Hi,

I just recently bought a Hauppauge 1212 HD-PVR and I set it up this weekend on a system running 0.23-fixes:

MythTV Version   : 25144
MythTV Branch    : branches/release-0-23-fixes
Network Protocol : 56
Library API      : 0.23.201000617-1
QT Version       : 4.4.3
Options compiled in:
 linux release using_oss using_alsa using_backend using_directfb using_dvb using_firewire using_frontend using_hdhomerun using_hdpvr using_iptv using_ivtv using_joystick_menu using_lirc using_mheg using_opengl_video using_opengl_vsync using_qtwebkit using_v4l using_x11 using_xrandr using_xv using_xvmc using_xvmc_vld using_xvmcw using_bindings_perl using_bindings_python using_opengl using_vdpau using_ffmpeg_threads using_libavc_5_3 using_live using_mheg

In trying to record I get a continuous stream of the following in dmesg:

usb 1-4: mythbackend timed out on ep1in len=2304/8192
usb 1-4: mythbackend timed out on ep1in len=0/8192
usb 1-4: mythbackend timed out on ep1in len=960/8192
usb 1-4: mythbackend timed out on ep1in len=0/8192
usb 1-4: mythbackend timed out on ep1in len=5376/8192
usb 1-4: mythbackend timed out on ep1in len=0/8192
usb 1-4: mythbackend timed out on ep1in len=5248/8192
usb 1-4: mythbackend timed out on ep1in len=0/8192

The log for mythbackend shows the following:

I get the same messages regardless if I'm recording using SPDIF or analog audio.

This seems to be the same issue that people were dealing with late last year on 0.22 :

Just wondering if anyone has made any progress on this or if I've just wasted $200  :)

thanks,

Steve
