[mythtv-users] MPEGRec(/dev/video0) Error: StartEncoding - giving up

[Alexandre Gagné]

Hi everybody !

  I bought the Hauppauge HD-PVR.

  I have compiled the "hdpvr driver", and the mythtv-trunk.  I can
record from the HD-PVR from the command line (cat /dev/video0 >
test.ts).

  My installation of MythTV seems to work too.  But when I place a
recording, it is unable to start it.  Here, what I have in the log file.

  The first time I compiled MythTV I removed many options, and thought
it was the reason why, so I recomplied it by disabling nothing, but with
no success.  My version is:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
MythTV Version   : 20100
MythTV Branch    : trunk
Library API      : 0.22.20090220-1
Network Protocol : 44
QT Version       : 4.4.3
Options compiled in:
 linux release using_oss using_alsa using_arts using_backend using_dvb
using_frontend using_hdhomerun using_hdpvr using_iptv using_ivtv
using_joystick_menu using_lirc using_mheg using_opengl_video
