[mythtv-users] 0 byte recording RingBuffer problem

[Jarle Thorsen]

Sometimes I end up with 0 byte recordings and I am now trying to figure out 
why. I'm running -fixes rev 18339 on a backend/frontend machine.

Below is a backend.log for one recording that ended up as an empty 0-byte 
recording. Any hints on what might be wrong, or additional log entries I 
should look at would be appreciated!
