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

[Mike Schlottman]

If I leave my knoppmyth box running while I'm not watching it, I will
eventually

 get the error "Error was encountered while displaying video".

 

I have not tried to narrow it down to happinging on certain channels,
but there

is a possability that the signal becomes weak or gets too much
interfierance.

 

Here is what I see in the myth backend log.

I have also begun re-starting mythfrontend using nohup so I can catch
the output

If I select OK. I get kicked back to the menu and everything is fine. I
guess th

is messages is a new feature to deal with some of the instabilities of
mythfront

end or the plugins.
