[mythtv-users] Live TV stops after a few hours.

[Joe Votour]

I deleted the original message that started the
thread, so I'm replying to this one instead.

Anyway, I'm also seeing this.  I've seen it since I
upgraded to MythTV 0.17, but never saw it in MythTV
0.16.

What I'm running:
- Fedora Core 3 (setup as per Jarod's guide)
- Athlon 64 3200+ (but in 32-bit mode, I haven't had a
chance to install x86_64 Linux yet)
- PVR-250 and PVR-350 for capture
- nVidia GeForce 5200FX for display
- Recompiled the RPMs to have OpenGL vsync support
(but this is not the problem, it happened with the
stock release too)
- Using Bob de-interlacer
- Database settings for the cache are the default
(5GB, I think)

I can guarantee that I'm not running out of disk
space, since I have a 220GB partition which is used
for recordings and cache, and I'm at 169GB free.

I haven't been using the LiveTV feature too much
lately, which is why it doesn't bug me too much. 
However, I do hope that it is fixed, as LiveTV is an
important feature (and really, the whole reason I'm
using Myth - otherwise, I might as well just have a
VCR).
