[mythtv-users] Two 0,15 cvs problems

[Gerald Schepens]

I am having two problems, both with live TV. 

A bit about my setup: I'm using the ivtv 0.10 pre 3 CVS release drivers 
on my pvr350.  I have cable TV connected to the card (for which I'm 
using "tuner 0") as well as a cable box which is connected to the svideo 
input ("svideo 0").  Kernel 2.4.20-30_37.rh9.at.

The first problem: Video works at first when going into live TV.  I can 
change channels on the tuner without problems.  However when I switch 
between video sources (tuner to svideo or vice versa), the picture goes 
all screwy.  It seems to start in the middle of the screen, and wraps 
around, and the picture sort of appears but it's all distorted.  Exiting 
live TV and going back in fixes this.  Also worth mentioning that this 
problem occurs whether or not I use the svideo output on the 350 or 
watch on the monitor.  I also tried unchecking "deinterlace" under TV 
playback options.  I did some extensive fooling around with test_ioctl 
but wasn't able to get the tv display to go normal.  I even did a before 
/ after dump of test_ioctl -a, and there are no differences in the 
output.  I'm stumped!

The second problem: browse mode on live TV fails to show me correct 
information until I actually select a channel.  What I mean is:  I'm 
watching TV on the tuner.  I press Channel up (or down), and I get the 
browser.  Except instead of giving me the channel name, program name and 
description, I just get " - 40" for the channel name and something like 
( -1440 minutes)  for the program info.  Yet once I select a channel 
I've browsed to, the channel will change and the browse widgets will 
update with the correct information -- the proper channel description 
and program info appear.

Is this an obscure leftover from me messing around with my database 
under 0.14 with tv_grab_na_dd?  I have manually deleted all channel 
records and program records and then run the 0.15 version of 
mythfilldatabase set to use tv_grab_na_dd.

Anyway, any words of wisdom will be gratefully received.  Especially 
with the live tv messing up when I switch sources.
