[mythtv-users] 0.00GB files...

[Michael Donohue]

Could you give some more details about the flags you pass to ivtv.  I've 
been getting 0 length files after the myth box has been on for a while.  I 
assumed it was just a bug in the ivtv driver.  Unloading it, and loading it 
again usually fixes it temporarily.

If there's an actual fix for the problem, I'd love to hear it.
