Re: [mythtv-users] Problem: Mythfrontend thinks there are no recordings
I get this whenever mythfrontend doesn't have permissions to rad the files - check whether mythfrontend is suid root, or whether the user you're running as has sufficient priviliges. Jeroen A very strange thing just happened to my MythTV setup.All of a sudden, when attempting to view the listing of recorded shows, mythfrontend reports Sorry, there are no recordings.It worked fine a few days ago when I watched a new recording.Then I went away for the weekend and when I came back, this happened. My setup: Myth .18.1 from apt-get repositories Fedora Core 3 Installed using Jarod's guide Here is what I've tried: - I can use MythWeb to list them, and even delete them. - Nuvexport sees them and allows me to convert them. - The files exist in the /var/mythtv folder. - An experience Linux friend of mine used Ethereal to sniff the traffic between the frontend and the backend, but it looks like they are talking. - There are no error messages in the console window even when running if very verbose mode. - Backend log reports nothing. - I've restarted both frontend and backend and then rebooted and still no luck. - Deleted all shows from the recorded table except one show that I've had in there for about 1 year and it still says the same thing. Has this happened to anyone else?Any suggestions for troubleshooting this one?I am desperate here!

Yes, fat32 is unable to handle files over 4GB. I use XFS, and can record files 4GB easily, without my backend dying. It's still running for now, no crashes yet...

Re: [mythtv-users] mythbackend mysteriously dying
I kind of figured out why my mythbackend dies (I think).It is indeedhard drive related, but not because of disk failure, but because of file size limit.Mythbackend always dies when the recording filereaches 4GB. Interesting. May I ask what filesystem you are using? Jeroen___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

[mythtv-users] mythbackend mysteriously dying
Hi all, I have installed myhttv 0.17 on my Gentoo system using the (standard) mythtv-0.17-r1 ebuilds there. Everything seems to work fine, but occasionally (3 times during the two weeks that the system was up and running) my mythbackend has crashed, without leaving any trace in the (default) logs. I'll try and set mythbackend to log all, but maybe someone here has an idea what might be going wrong. Also, my video recordings seem to miss a couple of frames every now and then. My system specs are: P4 3.0 GHz PVR350 Gentoo, kernel 2.6.11-r4 Does anyone have any clue what might be going wrong? Thanks, Jeroen ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
