this is now the second morning i've come down to find my mythtv box running from an overnight recording.<br>based off the 'backend status' on the web admin page, the recording is getting stuck when it tries to process the commercial flags.<br>
<br>i did a bit of investigation on google when the first recording failed; and it sugested that 'mythcommflag' has frozen and you can use 'killall' to kill it and this would clear the job. so i tried toto that on this 2nd failed recording, but mythcommflag was not running when i tried to kill it.<br>
<br>the only thing that has changed between working and now is I was having issues with the repo's since i built it (PPAs were always offline). so i manually removed them from the repo list, and then added them back in from the .deb (??) package from mythbuntu site. i then performed an update (not a distro-upgrade though) which appeared to of worked fine.<br>
<br>the first job is long gone, i deleted that as i didnt know better. However this second failed recording is still queued for processing.<br><br>can anyone shed some light on this? i guess viewing the logs will be next, but not sure where im looking to view them (still fairly new to mythtv and linux in general)<br>
