[mythtv-users] Major problem with Myth .13

Sun Dec 14 10:16:03 EST 2003

I too am having similar problems. IVTV 1125A is installed. Myth* is .13
PVR-250, shuttle an35n ultra mobo, athlon xp 2200, fedora
2.4.22-1.2115.nptl_23.rhfc1 kernel.

.12 was working perfectly.
Ivtv cat capture test works just fine.

GDB backtrace: http://octane.theidiots.org/etc/backtrace.log
Mythbackend.log: http://octane.theidiots.org/etc/mythbackend.log

I hope I did everything right. I also hope I am not just crying wolf and
that this is just a stupid error on my part.
