[mythtv-users] Error was encountered while displaying video. WithHD-3000

[Mathew Elliot]

I too get this problem - but only since re-formatting with ext3 file system.
I'm thinking because of the way myth now deals with liveTV recordings when a
new program is starting a new file is created for the new program. If the
reader tries to read this file before it's actually created/started writing
to it goes a bit crazy! I didn't have this problem when I was using xfs (I
don't recall having the problem anyway) however that stopped me downsizing
an LVM - so I reformatted with ext3 - and then it started. I don't think HD
performance is an issue as  

hdparm -t /dev/sda1

/dev/sda1:
 Timing buffered disk reads:  100 MB in  1.79 seconds =  55.92 MB/sec

Which should be plenty!

Will be rebuilding to a separate BE/FE solution soon and would be interested
if anyone can suggest a decent FS which has good LVM flexibility (i.e. can
be shrunk as well as grown!)

WithHD-3000

With the latest 19.1-fixes at every show break while watch livetv using 
my HD-3000 I get the "Error was encountered while displaying video".  
When watching from the pvr350 it works "ok" an occational lockup with 
livetv but not too bad.  I'm wondering if it might be hard drive 
performance related but really don't want to completely rebuild the 
system just for a test.  Currently I'm using a single  drive  that is 
dedicated to mythtv recordings.

Does anyone thing that that could possibly be fixed by striping the hard 
disks maybe a raid 10? 

Thanks
Jeff
