frontend hangs when starting to watch live TV on PVR 350
Hi,

After a few days of trying to get it work, I'm stuck :(

The video for linux drivers should work, they're compiled in the kernel and
started.
Mplayer plays TV, the cat /dev/video0 > file records a nice file with sound.

When trying to watch live TV, the frontend doesn't move anymore, and there
Is no live TV to be seen anywhere. Backend output is like this:

Starting up as the master server.

/var/log/messages says:

I haven't got a clue why I get the sound messages, the ALSA driver works
just fine when inserting the modules,
And outputs sound when tested with xine.

Does anyone know what I'm missing here ?

Thanks,

You don't have the card type set as 'Hardware MPEG Encoder' in the capture
card setup.
