Description Steve 2016-01-15 19:31:15 UTC

Description of problem:
The Hauppauge HD PVR (USB)  will stop recording after between 8 and 20 minutes. In order to get it to work again the PVR has to be power cycled and the PC rebooted.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.3.3-300.fc23.x86_64

How reproducible:
Happens every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cat /dev/videonn >file.ts 
2. the cat command never ends and the file size stops increasing, and time modified remains unchanged after between 8 and 20 minutes.
3.  If you ctrl+c the cat command it will eventually stop, then error on I-O Error attempting again.

Actual results:
Stops recording after 8 to 20 mins.

Expected results:
Keeps running until no disk space or stopped.

Additional info:

There are no error messages in the logs at all.

Reboot to kernel 4.2.8-300 everything works as expected.

The cat command stopped recording at 14:45:44, the 14:58:01 is the ctrl-C of the cat command.

Debian team have identify the culprit.

https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2016/01/msg00410.html

you can test it with

[root@dominic-box ~]# cat /dev/video0 |pv -r > /dev/null

:

[root@dominic-box ~]# pkill cat
[root@dominic-box ~]# 

power circle the hdpvr and try again. will breaks within 20 minutes

I have two hdpvr, tested different usb cables/ports and both do the same with kernel kernel-4.3.x an above.

Thank you for your help

Tested new kernel yesterday.  Same issue.

[root@dominic-box ~]# rpm -qa kernel |sort -r

Comment 4 Laura Abbott 2016-01-27 18:24:31 UTC

Your best bet is to send a message to the maintainers of the driver

$ scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/media/usb/hdpvr/
Hans Verkuil <hverkuil> (odd fixer:HDPVR USB VIDEO ENCODER DRIVER,commit_signer:2/3=67%,authored:2/3=67%)
Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab.com> (maintainer:MEDIA INPUT INFRASTRUCTURE (V4L/DVB),commit_signer:3/3=100%,authored:1/3=33%)
linux-media.org (open list:HDPVR USB VIDEO ENCODER DRIVER)
linux-kernel.org (open list)

If you have the time, doing a bisect would be very helpful to identify which commit broke it. You can either do this on the kernel tree directly or try the scripts I wrote to package an RPM http://www.labbott.name/blog/2015/11/30/a-look-at-the-kernel-bisection-scripts/

Comment 5 Dominic Harvey 2016-01-27 19:25:37 UTC

Thank you but i am no developper at all.  i could try it but don't expect too much from me.
