I updated my 0.24 pvr to 0.25 today and i found a nasty bug in 0.25
(mythtv-backend-0.25-280_v0.25_beta_55_g814e880.el6.x86_64)
Background : I use iptv (m3u file) and have around 7 tuners created ..6
for recordings and 1 for free livetv
After my upgrade the first time i went into livetv i had a black screen
and after xxx seconds i was thrown back to the menu.. In the past this
would happen and i got a error saying that he couldn't buffer etc. so i
wasn't alarmed and just thought.. he beta.. this could be the same ignore
it.. So pressed the livetv again and voila there the livetv was..
So i played a littlebit with the new setup.. went to the epg to see if the
crash problem that i had was fixed.. and it looked like everything was ok
there.. so i programmed some new recordings.. ans looked in the recordings
and there they where.. so far so good i thought.. Nice update..;) I
deleted the recordings(while they still where recording) because it was
just testing..
But then it came.. I thought lets get back to livetv and for some reason i
couldn't get in.. I thought that is strange.. So i looked around in log
etc. and found out that for a strange reason all my tuners where still
busy.. BUT mythbackend/frontend was saying they were free..
So i looked at my storage area to see what the last files where that were
created.. maybe there was something there.. And there it was.. The last
files where still growing.. and lsof was saying mythbackend was the one
using it..
So i restarted the backend and confirmed that there were no files in use
anymore.. and it wasn't.. So i started a livetv again and it was running
great and the storage area file was created and growing... But when i
stopped the livetv.. the file kept growing again.. So i started a livetv
again.. and there it was a second file was created and that was growing
also.. including the first one.. To be sure there were no recordings going
on i check the fronted recording again.. and it wasn't..
So to test my theory i started livetv again to see if a 3th file would be
created.. and yes it was and still the first 2 were growing larger and
larger.. To test allitlebit more i started a recording from an epg and
deleted it again.. mythtv/recording was empty but the file was there and
growing.. So now i had 4 files growing and nothing was beeing used on the
box..
I was curious and started livetv 3 times more.. and there it was 7 files
growing.. info center saying tuners are free and everything else failing..
no more livetv possible etc..
To stop the process i restarted the backend again and all files were
released again.
I did they above 3 times more and every time i had the same outcome..
