<p>Look at your kernel log and you'll likely see your USB3 is crashing. I have not yet found stable USB3 drivers for Linux (stick with USB2).<br>

<div>I figured I would post this to the list in the hopes it would help somebody else as much as me, as most of the similar results I found trying to solve this problem were old threads on this list.<br>
<br>
</div>
My HD-PVR was running just fine on my old X58 Core i7 920 system. I just upgraded to X99 on a Core i7 5820k. An my HD-PVR went nuts on the new machine.
<br>
<br>
</div>
First ... some migration tips:<br>
</div>
- Don't forget to make sure your Storage Directory has proper permissions for user and/or group (depending on distro) mythtv<br>
</div>
- Don't forget to include your change channel script if you're controlling a converter box with a blaster like I am. If the script isn't there, there is no error what-so-ever... just silent failure. That one was a PITA to figure out.<br>
<br>
</div>
So ... it would work but hard lock up the HD-PVR, typically in less than 5 minutes, but sometimes taking 15-20 minutes. I tried the usual myriad of Google suggestions with mixed success:<br>
</div>
- Overheating? No. I keep it fairly chilly in the winter.<br>
</div>
- Crap capacitors in power brick? No. Was working just fine previously.<br>
</div>
- Try using irqbalance? This actually helped double the time to lock but did not fix it.<br>
</div>
- Try using a USB2 instead of USB3 port? This actually helped double the time to lock but did not fix it.<br>
</div>
- Try disabling USB3 on the motherboard? I haven't done this. And REALLY don't want to unless it is the full on last resort.<br>
</div>
<div>- Try upgrading firmware of HD-PVR? I havne't done this. I don't have immediate access to a Windows box. I believe I'm using 0x1e<br>
</div>
- Make sure you're not using an old kernel? I tried 3.16.5-gentoo first. Horror show. I am now using 3.17.6 ... which seems to greatly improve things. In my first test I got up to about 40 minutes before lock up. I'm in the second test now.<br>
<br>
</div>
The logging from mythfrontend, mythbackend, and modprobe hdpvr hdpvr_debug=7 aren't particularly helpful. The HDPVR in debug would return:<br>
<br>
config call request for value 0x800 returned -110<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Right before that happened you'd get a steady stream of calling for buffer 1 ... but immediately before that error you'd get call for buffer 1 immediately followed by call for buffer 2. And that is, as far as I can see in the blur of those calls going
by, the only time that happens... right before the error.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
In mythbackend you would get:<br>
<br>
"Poll giving up 2"<br>
"Device error detected " <br>
<br>
</div>
I welcome all suggestions/advice/debug tips. It seems most likely to be a kernel issue in the driver and/or xhci. My old X58 system was on kernel 3.10 ... but I cannot downgrade that far as I need at least kernel 3.15/3.16 for critical patches for the soundcard
on my Asus X99 Pro motherboard (ALC1150 Intel HD).<br>
</div>
<br>

Probably not going to like this answer, but I ended up having to blacklist the xhci driver, which in my case was not a big deal as I don't *need* usb3 on that machine. I tried a couple different aftermarket usb cards (PCIe) to see if that would help, but as
soon as the xhci driver got loaded, my troubles would begin. Haven't tried in a while, but its been working well for the past few months, so I haven't wanted to screw with it.<br>
