(S-1) The installer, by default, picked a 15 GB size for my
ringbuffer, but picked a 12 GB size for the /cache partition in which
it's stored. This means that, after 5.3 hours of sitting in Watch TV,
the machine blew up. (The disk thrashed -continuously- and the video
went completely black, while it logged "ENC stream overflow/stealing a
buffer" errors to at least three different logfiles at hundreds of
entries per second; given enough time, this would have filled up the
root partition, too.)
This is a subtle bug---some people might not see it for days or weeks
after installation, and many inexperienced users will have no idea how
to fix it or even what caused it.
Of course, most people will never see it at all because a PVR,
particularly MythTV, isn't really designed for live TV, and certainly
not for 5.3 hours of live TV.
Is this because the ringbuffer file seems to continually grow? I have
noticed this. Why does it do that? If you are not paused, surely the
file size should remain stable?
