Hi all,<br>
<br>
I have been fully enjoying the mythtv experience after 2 years for
trying to get it working (part time with VERY wrong hardware). the Wife
forked over some money for a new computer for me and mine (P3 1gig)
became the BE along with a dvico fusion dvbt card. <br>
<br>
Once it was all going with a lot of help from people Off list (thanks
again guys) the WAF is very high. high enough to get a second dvbt card
so she doesnt miss any shows due to confection.<br>
<br>
I have installed the machine to Jarrod Wilsons FC3 guide (thanks Jarrod
for the guide) and i am now using a HP e-vectra as a front end, again
using JW FC3 guide.<br>
<br>
Now come the problem, which is more annoying than anything.
Occasionally when watching a program on the frontend that had been
recorded previously, it seems to fault somehow.<br>
<br>
I have searched the list and it was said that the commercial marking
jobs can do this. So i turned off the jobs for all recordings. (we
don't keep the recordings anyway). this didn't seem to fix it.<br>
<br>
Again i went back to the forum and another suggestion was when the free
space in recording drive was low this would happen. But it has happened
again the other night while recording Startgate Atlantis (of all
things). the recording wok great up till a point then it ands and sits
there for ages and then myth craps its self and goes back to the FC
desktop.<br>
<br>
SO i didn't get shitty with it and delete it i ave keep the recording
and now on a day off i have killed the automatic start of the backend
and frontend and started them up in terminal sessions. (again a
suggestion off the list)<br>
<br>
here is what i got:<br>

Now i thought that i would get a bit more information than this.<br>
the two are connected via a 100meg switched network.<br>
<br>
has anyone got any ideas?<br>
<br>
If there i any log files to look at, I must be looking at the wrong ones.<br>
<br>
<br>
thanks for your time.<br>
