[mythtv-users] mythbackend in La-La land

[James Pifer]

Another update. It recorded for 8 minutes then died. I use mythweb -
Recorded Programs to track the progress. It stopped this time with 400
meg recorded. There was one error in messages with ivtv, but I don't
think this one is a big deal:
Jun  1 13:08:36 mythtv kernel: ivtv: Got DMA-done, but not expecting one

Guess I could look at upgrading my ivtv drives to the latest. Anyone
know the latest stable CVS version? ie, which ones should I download?

Thanks,
James
