[mythtv-users] video no longer available

[Rory O'Connor]

I'm not sure if this is a mythtv problem, or perhaps ivtv.  I got myth working with video earlier...but somehow in the process of trying to get my PVR-250 remote working the video has become unavailable.  Viewing the output of 'mythfrontend' it appears to be a problem with the decoder (see output below).  I was using ivtv-0.1.9 and tried downgrading to 0.1.7 but it's the same.  the ivtv modules are loaded and there doesn't appear to be any problems (i checked dmesg and /var/log/messages). The mythbackend.log doesn't say anything either.

Any help is appreciated!

my setup:
mandrake 9.1 with stock 2.4.21-0.13mdk kernel
hauppauge PVR-250 card
ivtv 0.1.7 driver
myth compiled from CVS snapshot

here's the output from 'mythfrontend':
