Post subject:  R5A30.2 backend keeps crashing

Hi all,
I'm having trouble with R5A30.2 crashing, I installed mbemon to see if it would help. last night the machine crashed so i checked the logs that it talked about in the program and found three,mebmon.log, mythbackend.log, and mythbackend.log-1, that have info about the crash. Here is mbemon:

This is a small portion of mythbackend.log-1 that shows the machine having trouble recording ER, the file is much bigger but contains more of the same kind of info, I think this is one of the files that mbemon is talking about but I have no idea what it's telling me any suggestions?

You're a bit short of details.

What type of capture card are you using?
Have you upgraded your drivers?

The card is a pvr 500 and I'm using the drivers that came with the install.

There was a known and long standing DMA bug in the ivtv drivers which has been fixed in the newest releases. The messages in your log file seem to indicate a corrupted MPEG2 stream which would fit with this. Try upgrading the ivtvt drivers to 0.4.7 following the directions on the CompileIvtv page on the wiki. I believe that R5A30 has a new enough kernel to allow this. You will need to replace every occurance of 0.4.6 in the instructions with 0.4.7 if I don't get chance to update them first.

If you haven't done a lot of custom upgrades to the system (adding packages via apt-get and the like) upgrading to R5C7 or later might also be in order. If you decide to do this, please see R5C7 or R5D1 upgrade hints before you start.
