I have an Athlon SMP machine with two M179 cards. I'm having trouble
when MythTV tries to use both cards at the same time. I've done the
following debugging:
modprobe ivtv
(fine)
cat /dev/video0 > test0.mpg
(fine)
cat /dev/video1 > test1.mpg
(fine)
(Can even cat both devices at the same time...)
mythbackend
(fine)
Watch TV (/dev/video0)
(fine)
Record something on /dev/video0, watch live TV (/dev/video1)
(error!) The recording works just fine, but live TV throws 'Input
Errors':
>From the backend:

Here's my modules.conf:
# ivtv modules setup
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias char-major-81-1 ivtv
options ivtv ivtv_debug=1 mpg_buffers=90
options tuner type=2 # NTSC tuner
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 tuner
Argh! Anyone else run into this problem?
Thanks for any help...
Woody
