<br>
- PVR-500 drivers work for both encoders in two cards using linux
2.6.13/ivtv-0.4.1, in linux 2.6.32 only first encoder produces MPEG
data, the other three produce... something else.
<br>
<br>
Short version:
<br>
- Attempted to upgrade an older mythbox (kernel 2.6.13/ivtv
0.4.1/working for years) to current codebase, along with some hardware
upgrades. Collapsing two mythboxen into one, so I have extra hardware.
<br>
- I have three PVR-500s, Revs D492, E587, E787. All working a week ago.
<br>
- Problem occurs with as little as one PVR-500 in PC, I have tried each
of the three individually with same results.
<br>
- In new PC, using 2.6.32, video0 works perfectly. video1 seems to set
up alright, and dmesg looks normal, no errors.
<br>
- When I do "cat /dev/v4l/video0 > foo.mpg" it produces a usable mpg
<br>
- When I do "cat /dev/v4l/video1 > foo.mpg" it produces many more
bytes, and not an mpg.
<br>
- Same effect if I add another PVR-500, video2 and video3 also fail.
<br>
- However, if I reboot with kernel 2.6.13, and build ivtv-0.4.1, and
install those modules, everything works fine.
<br>
- No module options, both kernels use the same /dev structure and same
device nodes, and install the same firmware file.
<br>
- Seemingly identical conditions except kernel version and driver
version.
<br>
<br>
Long data:
<br>
<br>
Here is the logs for 2.6.32, two cards installed. Only the first
encoder of four works. (video0)

Also notable, the pixel format for each tuner is listed differently,
the working one is MPEG, the non-working one is HM12. Setting the
pixelformat with v4l2-ctl doesn't seem to affect it, no error but it
stays as HM12. I can change the resolution successfully though.
