Hi *,
I have quite annoying issue with freezing LiveTV.
Symptoms:
After launch of LiveTV after some time I get "pause". Usually it is
after 30min...1-2h.
When freeze occurs I can bring up OSD and OSD shows progress of LiveTV
buffering but playback time is constant. Behavior is in fact exactly the
same like paused LiveTV. Pressing pause/play changes nothing. Solution
is only quit LiveTV and enter again.
I was tested various SVN versions counting that maybe it is bug and
maybe issue is resolved in newer SVNs.
Indeed in new SVNs I have impression that it happens more rare, but
unfortunately it is still present.
Now I'm on 0.21-stable SVN 17166.
As problem is quite annoying for family - do somebody have idea how to
minimize this effect.
My setup:
-Knoppmyth r5f27 upgraded to 0.21 via src compile
-BE is 0.21-fixes SVN 17190, 3xPVR250
-FE is MiniMyth 0.21-fixes SVN 17166 on Abit An-M2HD (nv 7050PV based).
CPU is AMD X2 4400.
Update:
For nailing issue I launch mm via console.
Observations:
-during play of LiveTV I'm getting mped2video errors on FE, every few
sec error.
-however playing this exactly record from LiveTV recordings group is OK
(no errors).
So potential issue place might be:
-hw (i.e. errors on NIC caused by bad behavior of ivtv)
-software (myth running LiveTV introduces errors on BE HDD-FE path).
Currently I don't believe in first one as my BE can simultaneously
record from 3 PVRs and do network transfers for 3 FE without issues (to
be sure I will verify it again).
So it looks rather like software issue.
Do You have idea how to further track this issue ?
