Subject: [pvrusb2] Hauppauge WinTV PVR-1950 not loading firmware
Message-ID: <1482896590.22649.4.camel@milwpc.com>

Hi,

I'm getting kernel ooppses related to pvrusb2 and v4l2 when attaching
the device to usb or hard cycling the power. The output of
/var/log/messages shows a greatly truncated list of messages. 

It was working for years. But now the device /dev/video0 produces
Input/Output errors using "dd". Previously I used:

$ dd if=/dev/video0 of=movie.mpg,?

and then played movie.mpg in vlc. Something suddenly changed early
2016. I've copied a known good copy of the firmware to the correct
location. 

The device is identified correctly when it is attached. But
/var/log/messages ends with?

"device is not a MPT device".?

I anticipate this is when the kernel throws an oops. I've tried
successive kernel updates, but the last four or five haven't improved
matters.

I don't know which details you wish to see, so to avoid spamming the
board with endless debug information, I'll just wait for a request.
I've tried with debug on and off for this device. No difference.
