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

[Jon Fink]

So I found some more information about my problem playing back large
recordings (>4GB, 2hour)

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,
Jon
