failed recording on hdpvr
Hello ,
I am trying to run down the cause of a failed recording on my Hauppauge
HDPVR. I was able to get it to record by doing "rmmod hdpvr" and "modprobe
hdpvr," but I'd like to see if there's something I can fix to prevent
reoccurrence. The log is below. dmesg has many statements like "hdpvr
1-6.4:1.0: config call request for value 0x2c00 returned 1" but it has
those even when recordings work properly.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Mary

Sadly, this seems to be fairly "normal" for HD-PVRs. Every few months I
run into a similar situation with one or the other of my two devices.
Another symptom is that the recording status light on the unit remains
on even though the computer is not actively recording.

Depending on what access I have, I either do what you did
(rmmod,/modprobe) or simply power the device off and back on, which has
the same effect.
