[mythtv-users] mythbackend unresponsive and stop recording

[Jürgen Sachs]

Hi,

I am using myth from git trunk.
Since a few weeks I have issues with mythbackend.
When I enter watch recordings, after showing the spinning wheel a while
no recordings are shown.
if I exceute "mythbackend --printsched" at command line, i get:

If I try to watch tv, I get "All tuners are busy"

A "/etc/init.d/mythbackend stop" does not stop mythbackend
I could stop it using "killall mythbackend". Possibly I need to issue
this command 3-4 times.

"/etc/init.d/mythbackend start"
will start mythbackend again and it will run for a while, usually less
than a day.

doing a "tail
-fn100 /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.20120703005025.464.log" (The only
logfile in the log dir), only give me 3 days old logs....

Any hints how to look at this ?

Os is openSuse 12.1 but also happens on 11.3(or4)

Thanks
Juergen
