[mythtv-users] Re: Problem playing back some recordings on remote frontend
Just a follow up to a problem I posted a few months ago... The problem I had was that if I tried to watch any recordings on my remote front end that were longer than ~90 min. (or 2GB as it turns out) the recording would get all pixilated and freeze for a few moments if I tried to skip or fast forward past the ~90min point. Skipping or fast forwarding would always work fine during the early part of a recording. I finally figured out that this problem was due to the fact that I was mounting the recordings using nfs version 2 (and the 'soft' option, if that matters). I should have read more carefully when I copied those options out of that nfs tutorial. I changed the options for the nfs mount line in /etc/fstab to: hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,nfsvers=3 and now the front end works great. -Obie ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I've run into the same problems and haven't found a solution yet. I've got some recordings which work perfectly find on the backend/frontend combination machine, yet have lots of problems on a remote frontend. Likewise, the bookmarks aren't even used for these recordings on the remote frontend and it always starts playing from the beginning even though I've verified that the bookmarks are used on the backend. This all worked perfectly fine in the 0.17 release. I'm considering downgrading until someone finds a solution or workaround.

It sounds like there are > some libraries out of whack on your FE machine. These are non-transcoded mp2 files recorded by Myth. I know the FE & BE were both up to date as of a couple of weeks ago, but I'll double check to make sure that is still the case. Thanks for the tip on the libraries, I'll see if there are any differences between the FE & BE. fwiw, I discovered that the strange inability to fast forward or skip past the 90~ minute mark on long recordings also occurs in xine. thanks, -Obie ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
