Although I have been running 0.24-fixes for a while, I recently hit a
problem on upgrade to 0.24, two frontends would play back all recordings
( including those in the LiveTV group), but would time out on livetv.
I traced it back to both these frontends had the path to the Livetv
folder mounted exactly as the backend, using cifs on /media/1501 and the
ringbuffer tries and fails to play from the direct path,
(/media/1501/livetv/...). When /media/1501 is not mounted the frontend
is passed the url for streaming and all is well.
I use storage groups for everything now, but had to mount /media/1501
for Mythgallery to access pictures. Took me a day to work out why livetv
stopped working (doh !)
Not sure why this doesn't actually work, as the clients should have been
able to access the files directly. However as you can no longer force
streaming .....
