I know what's wrong, and i will work with Torfinn to get an updated pvrxxx driver. For those interested what is actually wrong: MythTV opens the device, and starts polling it. The current code does not start the encoding when polling, only on read. It should also start encoding when polled before the 1st read. regards, usleep > 4) I have made an alternative /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mythbackend (attached). > It would be nice if the mythtv port could use that.
