R5A12 -- IVTV_IOC_G_CODEC:: Bad address

KnoppMyth R5A12
PVR-250 (grey remote)

I just installed R5A12 last night (did a fresh install as opposed to an upgrade from R4V5). Everything appears to be working fine except LiveTV (and likely by extension, TV recording, but nothing on my schedule has come up yet)

When I try to watch LIveTV, I get a black screen, and I hear a lot of hard drive activity. Here is a snippet from /var/log/myth/mythbackend.log:

Code:

Error getting codec params
IVTV_IOC_G_CODEC:: Bad address

The entries go on like that until I finally have to kill the frontend (I couldn't stop it any other way than that or rebooting the system)

I am using my /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv file from my previous installation (R4V5), so I am not sure if that may be a proble. Here is my /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv file:

Code:

alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
options ivtv debug=1
options tuner type=8
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 tuner
add above ivtv lirc_dev lirc_i2c

And here is what "dmesg | grep ivtv" gives me:

Code:

I am not sure if this is a KnoppMyth issue or a ivtv issue, though it was working perfectly under R4V5.

Please advise. I look forward to hearing from you.
