Well after working flawlessly for a month, my system stopped working this morning. I turned on live tv and after about 10 seconds it froze. Requiring a reboot. After several restarts and retrys I discovered the following on my console screen: ivtv: ENC IRQ OVERFLOW: #xxxx stealing a buffer, 1024 currently allocated This was scrolling down with xxxx being an ever increasing number. Any ideas? I tried rerunning mythtv-setup but it did not solve the problem. Nothing has changed in the past few days, and I was watching live TV all day yesterday and the day before |

Did you do a cold boot? Sometimes hardware gets foobared to a point where a complete shutdown will take care of problems like this. |

I think this is a bug that I read about recently. There is a workaround that has to do with settings, but I don't remember the details. I'll try to add the link back on this post if I find it. Someone else is also having a similar problem: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... 2642#22642 |

Look on the bright side, it's a useful skill to have.  I once won a bet by doing an entire procedure typing with my nose.
OBTW - useful information - remove that file and restart everything. When you're not watching live TV the /cache partition should look like this: Code: root@black:/myth/mythburn# find /cache -ls
2 4 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 May 31 2004 /cache 11 16 drwx------ 2 root root 16384 May 31 2004 /cache/lost+found 65 4 drwxrwxr-x 2 mythtv mythtv 4096 Apr 2 14:23 /cache/cache |
