[mythtv-users] ME6000, Jarod FC1, PVR350, *DMA ERROR*

[bishop]

Hey Folks,

First off, is there a happy link to known bugs in the .14 mythtv site 
code?  I'd like to check off the ones I'm seeing, and know if time had 
been available to look into them for .15 .  I'm not expecting someone 
else to do my bidding and suddenly fix everything; I'm patient to wait 
until someone else with some real coding talent has the same itch. 
Heck, I'm all but banking on it!

What I'm seeing:

1)

It looks like my DMA error has followed me to my Via 600mhz box too.  I 
think it was in live TV viewing.

(I wandered onto the scene after trying to test the desktop sharing - 
the 5th attempt to connect from vin/realvnc client to the kde sharing 
server looked like it passed, but the screen was blank.)

> ==> /var/log/messages <==
> Apr  6 01:54:20 otnemem kernel: ivtv: DMA read error. Result=0x00000002

That's the last word sent over syslogd to my other box when the tv 
screen goes solid green and everything locks hard. It's the familiar 
green screen with the hard lockup that makes me think I inadvertantly 
blundered into Live TV.

It's been downgraded from a classic Jarod FC1 install:
> ivtv-kmdl-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl_37.rhfc1.at-0.1.9-25.rhfc1.at
> ivtv-0.1.9-25.rhfc1.at
> ivtv-firmware-2.02.023-3.at

The bios on my me6k is the defaults, except I disabled the PXEBoot until 
I actually have a PXEboot config in my dhcpd.

2) Don't hit FFWD or REWD while viewing recorded programs.  It advances 
the position and then locks.

3) Does commercial skip skip while viewing, or while recording?  I think 
that a commercial skip setting set off #2 today.  The hard lockup 
moments into a futurama show today was barely into a commercial, and the 
OSD showed information suggesting it recognized it as such (I was a 
bonehead, no digicam shot, sorry).  The playback died exactly 30 secs 
in.  Significant?  Dunno.

Anyway, I'd be grateful if I could look up these little glitches in a bz 
or something, and know if .15 (no rush, but) would deliver new code for 
areas where these bugs may be coming in.

I want my MythTV...
