#1153: Live TV : "Error was encountered while displaying video." -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: ljr Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: mythtv | Version: Severity: medium | -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- When entering LiveTV and sometimes when in LIveTV at the changeover point for the next show this error message is displayed. "Error was encountered while displaying video."
Sometimes if you leave LiveTV mode and go back in it will start to work again, sometimes you have to do this 4 or 5 times. Sometimes it never seems to want to show LiveTV. The frontend longs suggest its some sort of issue with the ring buffer file being created :- 2006-01-28 21:18:46.114 RingBuf(/data/video/record/1025_20060128211843.mpg): Invalid file (fd 17) when opening '/data/video/record/1025_20060128211843.mpg'. 4 retries remaining. 2006-01-28 21:18:46.190 Video timing method: USleep with busy wait 2006-01-28 21:18:46.618 RingBuf(/data/video/record/1025_20060128211843.mpg): Invalid file (fd 17) when opening '/data/video/record/1025_20060128211843.mpg'. 3 retries remaining. 2006-01-28 21:18:47.030 NVP: Prebuffer wait timed out 10 times. 2006-01-28 21:18:47.122 RingBuf(/data/video/record/1025_20060128211843.mpg): Invalid file (fd 17) when opening '/data/video/record/1025_20060128211843.mpg'. 2 retries remaining. 2006-01-28 21:18:47.626 RingBuf(/data/video/record/1025_20060128211843.mpg): Invalid file (fd 17) when opening '/data/video/record/1025_20060128211843.mpg'. 1 retries remaining. 2006-01-28 21:18:47.870 NVP: Prebuffer wait timed out 10 times. 2006-01-28 21:18:48.130 RingBuf(/data/video/record/1025_20060128211843.mpg): Invalid file (fd 17) when opening '/data/video/record/1025_20060128211843.mpg'. 0 retries remaining. 2006-01-28 21:18:48.634 NVP, Error: JumpToProgram's OpenFile failed. 2006-01-28 21:18:48.634 NVP, Error: Unknown error, exiting decoder 2006-01-28 21:18:48.710 NVP: Prebuffer wait timed out 10 times. Since scheduling a recording works fine (even the TV show you wanted to watch live) its clearly not an issue with physical disk space or a permissions thing. Both the frontend and backed are running as the same unprivileged user "mythtv". There is nothing of interest in the backend logs as far as I can tell related to this.
