[mythtv-users] Odd PVR-350 FC2 Error: /dev/video0 Input/output Error

[Daniel Savard]

Skipping back to some of my suggestions. The modifications in the
modules.conf never aimed at solving your problem with the access to
the /dev/video0. But, it's a required change to avoid some problems
that may appear later with a mis-behavior of the ivtv driver. So, keep
your modules.conf as suggested if you still use ivtv 0.1.10, if it
happen you go back to ivtv 0.1.9, you old config will be required.

I guess you have a script in /etc/init.d to startup the mythbackend.
Can you look if the MYTH_USER is appropriately defined there? Just to
make sure it isn't trying to start the backend with a user with
unsufficient privileges. In fact, it should be root. Here, the scripts
may vary from what I have on my system, since I am running a Gentoo
distro.

I don't think so. It will be wasted time and may not solve at all your problem.
