Tried the slave backend route over the weekend with no success. First up I got the laptop loaded up as a slave. Then I ran a cat /dev/video/ > file for 4 hours which worked perfectly. Feeling optimistic, I set up a simple 30 minute HD recording which recorded for about 12 minutes and then locked up the HD PVR again. Recording stopped, blue light stayed on until I killed power to the HD PVR. No idea why the tuner works so well with cat but not with mythtv.

I did load lirc_zilog to try and use the irblaster from the HD PVR as a channel changer since I didnt have a 4 pin firewire cable. Any chance that that had something to do with it? Any new suggestions?

The recording started at 21:36 and crapped out at 21:49. Backend log looks like this:

There is a driver bug in the hdpvr driver used in LinHES 7.4. It's a race condition that has been fixed in recent kernels.

The symptoms manifest as a failure to latch and start, with the following seen in the logs every few seconds:

2012-09-17T00:00:19.945718-04:00 mythtv mythbackend[23351]: E RecThread mpegrecorder.cpp:1010 (run) MPEGRec(/dev/hdpvr): Device error detected
2012-09-17T00:00:23.347878-04:00 mythtv mythbackend[23351]: E DeviceReadBuffer DeviceReadBuffer.cpp:513 (Poll) DevRdB(/dev/hdpvr): Poll giving up 2

The fix is in linux/drivers/media/video/hdpvr/hdpvr-video.c, the function hdpvr_start_streaming(). The line that changes the device status to STATUS_STREAMING must be moved above the INIT_WORK call that sets up hdpvr_transmit_buffers().

Prior to this fix, I could almost never get an HD-PVR recording to succeed, now it works flawlessly. Because this is a race condition, not everybody will experience it, but with my particular hardware, it was hit almost every time.

Installing v4l-dvb from the testing repo should fix the driver bug neufeld refers to.

Well that is interesting! I wonder how long the bug has actually been there.

neufeld, did you file a bug report on Linhes? We should have that module updated and included as an update on 7.4 rather than forcing people to patch.

nvm; just saw this!

brfransen, would it make sense to move it to the production repo given the seriousness of this bug?

v4l-dvb has been pushed to production.

Does that mean it is no available in the non-testing repo or do I still need to get it from testing?

Production is non-testing. pacman -Syu should pick it up.

Good news and bad. Plan A was to try and get the HDPVR working again on the master backend. This was the system that the HDPVR was on with V6 and worked perfectly. I updated the v4l-dvb from pacman, rebooted, and tried a recording. Recording started but after a few minutes stopped recording and the HDPVR locked up.

Backendlog for the time of the recording looks like this

After that I went back to the slave backend solution and set that up with the HDPVR. After updating v4l-dvb, the slave backend has been able to record (3) half hours shows with no problems. No idea what the difference is between these two system that would create different results. Any ideas???

Per my previous note:

Normally when I see issues like this with HD-PVR it is due to the usual things such as:
1) audio connection - if audio on say s/pdif is not working well the recording will fail
2) USB bus contention
3) hdpvr power supply on the edge of failing (I've replaced two!).
4) flakey HD channel.

So if it works fine on the slave but not the master and assuming you used the same channels to record then (1), (3) and (4) are likely ruled out.

(2) is my best guess. It doesn't seem to take much to upset an hd-pvr. So I just keep them on a dedicated machine (ie the laptop I mentioned).
