[mythtv-users] LIve TV and changing channels -- unstable
Hi there, using a DVB, diseqc switch, and pointed to two satellites. I've used verion 18.1 and tried some of the CVS versions (older versions that had LiveTV still working). If I change the channel 3 or more times, the backend 'forgets' to change the channel and the frontend gets stuck waiting for data that will never arrive. I typically have to restart both. Is this a typical problem with DVB or is there something more stable out there? I can record from different stations and it has no problems jumping to the right station to record...

[mythtv-users] Reproducible Backend Crash (0.18.fixes)
My master backend is crashing when the slave backend is terminated. This does not always occur but rougly every other restart of the slave backend will cause this segfault. I'm using: * http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/branches/release-0-18-fixes/mythtv * gentoo x11-libs/qt-3.3.4-r8 * gentoo dev-db/mysql-4.1.14 on both servers. The problem occurs in 0.18.1 as well (that's why i switched to 0.18.fixes) I've been trying to look into the code, but the PlaybackSock.sockLock attribute seems 100% legit. It's a private attribute only used by one class method. Oh, maybe the entire PlaybackSock instance is deleted when the slave backend terminates while some other thread is using it..

[mythtv-users] Scripts for shutting down and starting SBE on demand??
I got a NFS-rooted slave back end with two ivtv cards and i want the master back end to start and stop that computer when needed. i.e. 3 minutes or so before a recording is to take place. What i hope to achieve with this setup is the following: * Stability: the ivtv has a history of hard crashing the back end computer when it's been running for a month or so. * More computers - more PCI slots - more capture cards * energy efficiency I understand that the normal behavior of the master mythbackend is to start ALL slave back ends on startup and terminate them when MBE is shutting down. But i find that a bit, ehrm - inefficient (i censored out what i really think of it). So, before i start coding, i was wondering if anybody else has done something similar? (I'm lazy:) /Eric ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] Shutting down a slave backend crashes the master backend..
I've been trying to setup a system where slave backends will be started and terminated on-demand. The Slave BackEnds are diskless and they share the main video partition with the Master BackEnd over NFS. This way i imagine that i can save the MBE from nasty ivtv hardware crashes and such (they still occur, but only once every other month when the backend is running 24-7). I've had this setup since mythtv 0.15 or so, but then i didn't shutdown the SBEs and everything worked just fine. Now when i decided to start and sutdown the SBE on demand I noticed that the MBE always will crash whenever it looses connection with a SBE!!! This is the last thing the MBE writes to the log: Slave backend: htpc-P400 no longer connected Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy Then it crashes. I'm running the gentoo 0.18.1-r2 mythtv installation on a 2.6.11-hardened-r15 gentoo kernel (no selinux/pax/grsec though) MBE has a bttv card and the SBE has two ivtv (250350) cards.

When Myth stopped working I checked the mythbackend log that is out put on the screen and a saw repeating messages saying my hard drive is full or something to that effect. Being that machine was locked up a did a reboot of the machine. The Machine on which I run my backend is a headless pc that sits in my equipment closet in the basement. The only access I have to the machine is to VNC into in from my windows machine. When (and if) you get this machine up and running again - make sure that you have a sshd deamon running as well. As a small-footprint backup for vnc. After the reboot I can VNC into the machine only to see a blank green screen. Being that I can still Samba into the machine with the backend and see all the files. I suspect what has happen is that MythTV filled up my hard drive with some sort of error log file and now there is not enough hard drive space to start FC4 xWindows. Can someone tell me which file might contain this large error log, and how do I get rid of it? Typically such logs will be located under /var/log eg: Gentoo locates those files under /var/log/mythtv Or if I missed the point completely and you direct me how to fix this problem. Being that I am not a Linux guy I am sure I used some wrong term here to describe the problem. Please ask question if you need more detail. Are you able to temporily move some of the .nuv files to your Windoze machine and reboot? That might give the space you need. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
