Hi Robert, Well, last night's recordings mostly failed again: 8PM - 1 30 minute show - recorded fine. Recording info says 30 minutes long 10PM - 2 30 minute shows. Both failed. One is 18 minutes, the other is 19 minutes. 11PM - 1 30 minute show - looks good 11:30PM - 2 60 minute shows - both failed - One is 22 minutes, the other is 25 minutes 12:30PM - 1 60 minute show - failed. Info says 37 minutes. Looks like I've got more problems than just the settings we played with yesterday. However, a question - Did I need to restart the backend server to get those changes to take effect? I didn't do that. I'll try that this morning as a test. Here's the failure messages in dmesg" ivtv: ENC Stream 0 OVERFLOW #57: Stealing a Buffer, 512 currently allocated ivtv: ENC Stream 0 OVERFLOW #58: Stealing a Buffer, 512 currently allocated ivtv: ENC Stream 0 OVERFLOW #59: Stealing a Buffer, 512 currently allocated ivtv: ENC Stream 0 OVERFLOW #60: Stealing a Buffer, 512 currently allocated ivtv: ENC Stream 0 OVERFLOW #61: Stealing a Buffer, 512 currently allocated ivtv: ENC Stream 0 OVERFLOW #62: Stealing a Buffer, 512 currently allocated ivtv: ENC Stream 0 OVERFLOW #63: Stealing a Buffer, 512 currently allocated [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ Thanks, Mark _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
