[mythtv-users] From the mythbackend.log I quote: "strange error flushing buffer ... "

[Douglas Peale]

I just upgraded to 10.10, and decided to try the analog tuner again.

With "Watch TV", it comes up on a digital tuner, so using the menu I switch to the analog tuner.
The screen goes blank for a while, then exits back to the menu.

The following is an excerpt from the mythtvbackend.log:

The tuner works with Zapping much better than before, giving about a second of silent black and white video before going black.
With "Video4Linux Control Panel" selecting preview gives about a second of clear color video with sound before going black with
noise.

I should mention that the analog tuner is the analog portion of an ATI HDTV Wonder card.

I am running the daily builds of 0.24, and will be happy to help debug the "strange error flushing buffer ..."
