[mythtv-users] IVTV_IOC_G_CODEC:: Bad address

[Nathan Allen Stratton]

I just installed a WinTV card using the bttv drivers on Suse 10. I can
watch tv on the card via SUSE TV apps, but have issue on Myth.

The card setup without issue and mythtv-setup even was able to correctly
scan the channels. However when I goto watch that input I get the
following on the mythbackend:


2006-01-27 15:14:32.529 adding: floyd as a client (events: 0)
2006-01-27 15:14:32.546 TVRec(4): Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
Error getting codec params

2006-01-27 15:14:56.218 Finished recording Unknown: channel 4002


On the frontend I just get a black screen and then after about 30 sec it
fails back to menu. On the console I get:
