Hi,

I recently upgraded from myth 0.15.1 to 0.18.1 and it all works very well, 
except two very irritating things:

1. The OSI information is 3 hours off, it always show what was on 3 hours 
ago and not what is currently running. In the Guide screen, all is well 
again.

2. The preview images are not created any more. In the master mythbackend 
log I see lots of messages like

while on the slave backend with the tuner I see

I think most strange is the line not enough video !

I have a split setup with a SuSE9.3 box running the master backend, a 
SuSE9.3 box a slave backend with PVR 250 and a SuSE9.0 box the frontend.

Both backends write via NFS to the same file location hosted on the 
master.

Could it be related to that ? E.g. that backends should have separate file 
storages ? I actually wanted the master backend to do all the streaming as 
the slave with the tuner is very weak and has no local HD

Thanks for any ideas !
