[mythtv-users] Waited 2 seconds... Still... Any more ideas?

[Stuart Hodges]

Hi,

	I appear to have two separate problems. The one below, that happens when 
channels are changing and appears to be the same as most of the posts in this 
thread and a backend or device lockup. Killing and restarting the frontend 
has no effect and there are no frontend messages. /var/log/messages says:

Jan  3 18:59:00 tiggy kernel: ivtv: ivtv_dec_timeout: lost IRQ; resetting...

Jan  3 19:06:41 tiggy kernel: ivtv: timed out waiting for firmware
Jan  3 19:06:41 tiggy kernel: ivtv: COULDN'T START PLAYBACK -16

	This log includes me restarting the frontend and it failing to work.

	Its running on a duron 1400 with plenty of disk space and the machine is 
doing nothing else, so its pretty idle. Running SUSE 8.2 (so I did the PIC 
thing to get mythtv to build).

	Thanks.
