[mythtv-users] Crash with Live TV (PVR-250MCE)

[Jay]

Just kind of "bumping" if you will. This is frustrating me to no end, and I haven't gotten a response, but I did send it in the middle of the night (EST anyhow).

	Let me give you a little info: 
	OS: Fedora Core 3 (all packages up to date) 
	Tuner: PVR-250-MCE 
	MythVersion: 0.17 

	I followed Jarod's guide while setting up my current backend server. I 
	was previously using KnopMyth with the same hardware, and after a tweak 
	to ivtv, the tuner was working wonderfully. I was under the impression 
	that the latest ivtv had built in support for this tuner, but I am 
	having some issues. I have not installed LIRC, as I don't need it on 
	this computer (its a backend only). 

	MythTV itself is working just fine, until you try to view Live TV (it 
	did however Record a show this evening, although not on the proper 
	channel, and not with sound, but thats for a later time). Live TV will 
	actually start for about 2 seconds, then it hangs. When I launch it from 
	a terminal I get all sorts of error output (see below). After hanging 
	for maybe 30 seconds, I get dropped to the Program Guide. Then the 
	frontend crashes. This happens when running the frontend on the backend 
	server or from a remote frontend.  The backend however, stays up and 
	running. The tuner does not lock up, I can repeat this over and over 
	without having to unload any drivers or reboot. 

	The other thing I have noticed is that the color from the video feeds is 
	horribly wrong now, everyones skin is purple. 

	This: 
	# /usr/lib/ivtv/ptune-ui.pl & 
	# mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0 
	Works just fine. Although the color is horrible as mentioned above. 

	Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
