I'm assuming that the error messages shouldn't be truncated like that? Is<br>
this an indication of buffer overflow / underflow?<br>
</blockquote>
those errors are typical to myth not writing to the file any longer,<br>
or taking a long time to write.<br>
<br>
There are two threads at play.<br>
The recorder, that capture the data from the capture card, and write it to disk.<br>
<br>
and the reader which serve data to the mythfrontend client.<br>
WaitForReadsAllowed errors are thrown when the reader has read<br>
everything that there is to read and has been waiting for too long for<br>
more data to be available.<br>
<br>
In the backend log, you will probably see where the bottleneck is.<br>
Either the capture card, or the disk taking a long time to write XXX<br>
bytes.<br>
