[mythtv-users] HDPVR and spdif issues

[Sébastien Bariteau]

Hello,

I`m currently trying to make my hdpvr (firmware 1.7.1) work with spdifwith
my newly upgraded MythTV 0.26 (as of today). I tried before with 0.25 and
it didn't work.

When I use v4l2-ctl to set the audio_encoding and the audio_input manually
and than do a cat /dev/video0 into a file, I get video and sound as it
should when I play it back with mplayer.

But when myth try to record after setting up the capture card to use spdif
instead of the back RCA I get things like this:

mythbackend[17373]: E RecThread mpegrecorder.cpp:1010 (run)
MPEGRec(/dev/video0): Device error detected

When turning on debugging with the hdpvr driver, I get this :

Aug 27 19:02:43 mythbox kernel: [92125.389290] hdpvr 1-3:1.0: streaming

Aug 27 19:02:46 mythbox kernel: [92128.151981] hdpvr 1-3:1.0: config call

I`ve tried to add the v4l2-ctl commands to my scripts that already takes
care of fixing the contrast issues with the latest firmware or try to do it
by hand before a myth recording to no avail.

Thank you for your time.
