Thanks ..<br>
<br>
increasing the size of the /cache partition fixed the problem...<br>
the ringbuffer now works fine.<br>

<br>your ringbuffer size below your partition size.<br><br>Kevin<br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">mythtv-users@mythtv.org</a><br><a href="http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users">
