[mythtv-users] ERROR: file I/O problem in 'safe_read()': Invalid argument

2005-04-04 Thread Andrew Meredith
Hi Folks,
I know there has been a lot of discussion about this problem already, 
but I have yet to see any workarounds or indeed solutions.

This is the issue some of us find when watching in LiveTV mode. All is 
well for a period of time and then the backend crashes out. Restarting 
the backend and requesting LiveTV again sets things back on course until 
the next crash.

For me this is the only remaining critical issue.
I can, sadly, recreate this issue at will .. I just have to watch TV for 
about 20 mins or so, maybe less.

Can someone in the know please give me stuff to check for, I am eager to 
help fix this.

PS The subject line is the only clue you get from the mythbackend log
   (even in -v all mode) that something is amiss.

There currently isn't a fix for this problem. I am in the same boat as
you. It is the only thing keeping mythtv from being wife ready. The
best work around to date is to ceate a large livetv buffer. I have
mine set to 10gb. Then remember to change channels every once in a
while and to pop out to the menu before going to bed or leaving for
long periods of time.

I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
