<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm running 0.16 Myth on a Fedora Core 1 box
and a Hauppague PVR-350. I have been running Myth with little
incident for several months, but </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm having
difficulty Editing Recorded programs. Every time I attempt to edit a
recording, I hit my Menu button on my remote to bring up the OSD. When I
select Edit Program, the recording and my front end lock up. After a
restart, the program that I was attempting to edit comes up black with audio,
and then kills my frontend. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>After
restarting *again*, things seem to be fine. This occurs every time I
attempt to edit a program.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To troubleshoot this problem, I consulted my
backend log to make sure nothing funny was going on there. There were no
errors. I checked the recorded database for editing flags that were set to
1, there were none. This is what the frontend logs show when I attempt to
start Edit mode (my actions are in brackets):</FONT><BR></DIV>
