I am ready to start working with it again but I thought I would wait until I went with the new svn version that allows for storage groups.
<br> Both tuners would work fine for about 70 minutes(roughly) then both would stop getting data although Myth would show them as still recording. I could stop the backend, plug and replug firewire(many times usually) and get it going by using your script but I could never record four one hour shows in a two hour timeframe. It worked great for two shows on a one hour time frame though. What do think was going on?
