[mythtv-users] Front End Stop / Start Playing 1-2 Second Cycles -Two do it...

[Tortise]

If it helps anyone this seems to be a server CPU resource problem, for example shutting down the FE on the server seems to stop the problem.
Starting and stopping "System Monitor" also stops and starts the remote FE cycling stop/start playback.
I had understood an AMD2400 should be up to the job described, it seems not.
Time to upgrade the server / CPU I think, I have a Pentium 3000 I'll try.
Kind regards
David

  Actually the problem may be on the server (Also an AMD 2400 / 2.5G RAM / NVIDIA 5200) as rebooting the server is what seems to fix this.  The server FE still plays back smoothly still.  top suggests there is always plenty of CPU left.
  When present the staccato like stop start playback is seen in both LiveTV and also playing recorded programs.
  Suggestions or links how to advance this would be really appreciated please.
  Kind regards
  David

    Hi

    I have two frontends, an AMD 2400 / 2.5G RAM / NVIDIA 5200 front-end running on an upto date Mythbuntu 8.10 and a P3000 / 2G RAM / 7600 NVIDIA running same OS.

    After running some hours each develops this state where it stop / starts with about a 1-2 second cycle repeatedly of this playing live tv.

    However the FE/BE machine is fine as it will play without problem.

    Closing the FE / restarting does not fix it.  Rebooting does not fix it either.   Shutting down for awhile does seem to fix it, until it returns, which suggests a temperature problem to me.  The CPU is running 42 odd degrees and Mbd the same and runs this when well and when sick.

    However both FE get to do it, so a temperature problem seems less likely.

    I'd appreciate any pointers how to advance this problem?

    Kind regards
    David
