I have my Master Backend & Frontend working quite nicely with .18.1 and<br>
wanted to add another machine. This second machine works fine as <br>
a remote frontend. <br>
<br>
But I wanted to slap another tuner in this remote machine and use it<br>
also as a slave backend (I'd put both cards in the Master If I had<br>
the slots).<br>
<br>
Problem is, with that backend running, there seems to be a problem<br>
with ring buffers:<br>
<br>
2005-12-08 00:00:07.405 RemoteFile::Read() failed in RingBuffer::safe_read().<br>
2005-12-08 00:00:07.621 RemoteFile::Read() failed in RingBuffer::safe_read().<br>
2005-12-08 00:00:07.837 RemoteFile::Read() failed in RingBuffer::safe_read().<br>
2005-12-08 00:00:08.053 RemoteFile::Read() failed in RingBuffer::safe_read().<br>
Couldn't read file: <a href="rbuf://192.168.192.7:6543">rbuf://192.168.192.7:6543</a><br>

<br>
Just shutting down the slave backend cures the problem.<br>
<br>
Is there anywhere written a more complete description of which configuration<br>
items are done in which machine's setup? The main Myth docs seem to <br>
breeze over this bit.<br>
<br>
Where do ringbuffers reside when there are two backends? locally<br>
on each machine, or on the master only?<br>
<br>
How do you keep ring buffers from getting in collision if they are<br>
all on the Master?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Also, why does the mythfrontend log always say:<br>
"Realtime priority would require SUID as root." <br>
even when mythfrontend IS suid root?<br>
