I am unable to record any new shows. In mythweb, which I use as my frontend, the file size for these shows is "B".
I'm on the verge of reinstalling R5B7, but was wondering if anyone could help.
My tuner card is a PVR-150. Here is the output of "dmesg | grep ivtv"
Code: ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ====================
ivtv: version 0.4.3 (tagged release) loading
ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.15-chw-2 SMP preempt 586 gcc-3.3

ivtv: any module options, when mailing the ivtv-users mailinglist.

(several more ivtv warnings)

Oooo... Another case of the misidentified PVR-150!!!
There are directions I posted somewhere around here recently for patching and recompiling the ivtv driver to fix this. http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=9065 Please give them a try and report back. In the meantime please do a lspci -v and post the results for your PVR card. I'm guessing that instead of something like this:
Quote: 0000:02:0a.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)
Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc.: Unknown device 8003
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 18
Memory at e4000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 You're going to see: Quote: 0000:02:0a.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)
Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc.: Unknown device 0003
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 18
Memory at e4000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2
If you see that, and want to be doubly sure, turn the machine off stone cold (unplug it if you have to) and leave it that way for a couple minutes before rebooting. If the card is correctly identified after that it's definitely the same issue.
OBTW - the sizes are actually 0 bytes, the "B" is an artifact of the "human readable" file size reporting ( Bytes, Kbytes, Mbytes, Gbytes, Tbytes, ...) with leading zeroes supressed...

I was wondering about that... I actually have seen the posts about the misidentified card, but didn't know if it was the same issue.
The results of lspci -v are right on what you predicted.
Now for the fun part... fixing it.
Thanks for the help.

I patched ivtv as mentioned, which solved the misidentified card problem.
However, My recordings still do not show up correctly in Mythweb. There is a listing for the show, but no preview graphic and still the "B", which means 0 bytes (or close to it).
I'm probably going to reinstall, unless someone else has an idea in the next few hours.

I have a similiar problem, however, it only seems to happen when VLC is using the tuner. http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=9186

I don't do any streaming, so I don't htink the problem is related to VLC.
Still stumped, unfortunately.

I don't want to offend here, but the thread is ambiguous on one point...
Once this issue is resolved you should be able to see recordings, but only for NEW recordings made after the fix was implemented. In other words, the previous recordings are empty and nothing can "fix" them.
Just covering all the bases...

Apologies.
Actually, what I would do after making a given fix is try to record a random 30 minute show, which wasn't working.
I reinstalled, and the problem hasn't happened yet. Fingers crossed.
ivtv released a new version yesterday. Changelog says detection of PVR-150/-250 was improved.
