It is a user space driver, not a kernal v4l driver. <br>
<br>
It seems like it should be possible to use the test app with
mythtv. I think there is a external recorder option in 0.28 that
may work with this?? I am really interested in getting this
working as my hdpvr 1 will sometimes decide to have a couple of
days problems (lockups needing power cycling, 0 byte recordings,
etc...) followed by many weeks of no issues....<br>
Does anyone know the status of 0.28? Is it stable enough to be
used? or is the external recorder option something that can be
back ported to 0.27?<br>

Can't speak to the external recorder option, haven't used it
myself. As to the status of 0.28, my household has been running it
for a couple of months now with *no **real issues.<br>
<br>
* I'm actually about a month behind master right now, haven't had
time to push any recent updates from my test system(s) to the
house's network.<br>
<br>
** Had a issue with a few isolated easily avoidable things, but
they've been resolved in master, just haven't fixed them on my
system yet.<br>
