Description Jussi Eloranta 2011-01-22 05:58:03 UTC
Fedora 14 (up to date as of Jan 21 2011).
System info: Linux tv.localdomain 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.i686 #1 SMP Thu Dec 23 16:17:40 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
CPU: Core2 duo
Relevant HW: HVR 950 USB tv tuner and KWORLD UB-435 tv tuner (see lsusb.out and
             lsusb-v.out). HVR 950 has the correct firmware installed in
             /lib/firmware.
The problem(s) (see below) show up when using mythtv 0.24 (from rpmfusion).

1) There are bunch of i2c error messages appear right after boot when mythbackend
is started (see dmesg-right-after-boot.out). The mythfrontend is not able to 
show video from the HVR 950 USB device. If mythbackend is killed and restarted,
the two firmware loaded messages appear (see end of dmesg-right-after-boot.out)
and everything works correctly. I get video from both HVR 950 and KWORLD UB-435.
Both devices appear correctly under /dev/dvb/...

2) Now the strange thing is that if anything happens in any of the USB buses on the
computer, the HVR 950 will go out of whack again. Only 
reboot can cure this. For example, if I unplug one of the joysticks that is on a
different USB bus, this will happen. See dmesg2.out, which shows what happens
right after disconnecting another device and reconnecting it.

3) If I unplug the tuner USB devices and reconnect them, strange things will
happen. According to dmesg, the system discovers both of them again but I 
get only one dvb device under /dev/dvb. To get things going again, reboot is
required.

Note that these problems (IMHO) are related to the kernel drivers and not mythtv.

Forgot to add that at least in case 3) the system gets in such state quickly that lsusb will hang (in D state as seen by ps).

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 13:44:08 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
