[mythtv-users] All encoder MPG stream buffers are full. Dropping data.

[Kelly Shutt]

Here's output from /proc/interrupts.  The storage for my recordings is 
actually on the network device, and not local.  I noticed that IVTV and 
my network interface are on the same interrupt, so maybe that's 
contributing to the problem.  However, as I said before; I haven't had 
any problems like this to date and it just started doing it after the 
upgrade.  I've always had it on network storage without any problem.  I 
suppose I could try moving the ethernet adapter to another PCI port, and 
get it on a different interrupt.  That might free it up for things to 
transfer properly.

Yes, I have verified that my backup and optimization scripts are not the 
problem.  In fact they're scheduled and run well outside my recording 
times.  The issue is showing up at all times, no matter what is running 
on the system.  It's not just a once in a while thing, it's dropping 
like 25% of the data on every single recording.
