I have had (and, to some extent, am still having) a similar issue with my HDHomerun that might be relevant here as well. I found many issues in the underlying FFMPEG code where a digital stream could be captured (in my case with the HDHomerun) but it was corrupted somehow. This resulted in lots at least one divide by zero and several different potential null pointer references in the FFMPEG code. I reported it both on the Myth TRAC system and ultimately to the FFMPEG people but I'm not convinced the message was completely received.
<br><br>The issues all boiled down to a lack of checks on valid date in the FFMPEG code.<br><br>In my case, the problem manifested itself generating previews. This could crash the frontend and even the backend (when generating previews for MythWeb, for example). I'm assuming that if I tried to play the files they might crash as well?!? Also, I suspect the commercial flagging would probably have died on these files as well.
<br><br>Just a thought. <a href="http://cvs.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/2889">Here</a> is a link to the TRAC issue if anybody is interested.<br><br>--<br>Mike<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/16/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

Hello, thanks for your reply<br><br>> Although I'm running SVN (currently 12477, previously a build from<br>> 114xx time), I've never had a problem with recordings on five<br>> terminating (I record NBA and X Games coverage and Law & Order
<br>> whenever it's on). I'm using the Sutton Coldfield transmitter for<br>> reception with KWorld DVB Xpert cards - could it be a transmitter or<br>> card specific problem?<br>><br>> Have you turned on full 'recording' logging? Have you run a new
<br>> channel scan after upgrading to 0.20? Can you record from five using<br>> other software such as kaffeine without incident?<br><br>I have done a full channel scan and recorded some random channel Five<br>programsall day with Kaffeine with no problems. So I guess that the
<br>hardware is fine.<br><br>I haven't turned on full "recording" logging but I'll give it a go.<br>I'll run it from a terminal as well to check on the Sys out.<br><br>Cheers.<br>/ken<br>_______________________________________________
