Re: [mythtv-users] Re: Problem Playing back long (2 hour) recordings

At a guess take a look at whatever file system you are using on that 
system.  If its fat32 your going to have to change to something else.  I 
think ext2/3 and reiserfs should work fine as well as the ones myth 
recommends that I don't remember off hand.   (I'll change to one of the 
recommended ones eventually, its just not something I've gotten to doing 
yet.)

It only occurs on my frontend machine which uses the CLE266 hardware
decoding for playback.  when I attempt to play the stream on a
different computer it plays fine.
Is there something about the xvmc hardware decoding in myth that will
make it stop playing a recording after about 7 or 8 minutes if the
total recorded size is  4GB (a 2 hour show).
I can't find any errors in the log to get myself pointed in the right direction.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hello,
I have mythtv setup with a backend machine capturing tv with a pvr-250
and then a frontend for running mythfrontend and watching tv, etc.  It
works fine for live tv and most recorded shows.
However, when I attempt to playback a longer recording (like from a 2
hour show), the playback cuts off after about 8 minutes or so.  I've
tried this for a few different recordings.  It seems the whole
recording is there as the file size is about 4GB for 2 hours.
Does anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks,
Jon

Actually, I just figured it out last night...

This is all happening on a frontend only machine using nfs for
mounting the recordings directory.  In my kernel config I had chosen
NFS v4 (experimental) and it was having issues with any file over 2GB.

Changing to NFS v3 client in the kernel fixed it.
