</span>TTBOMK there is no current collection/reporting of that information for<br>
the HDHR devices. There is a patch pending review that would (optionally,<br>
at elevated verbosity) report such statuses at the conclusion of a recording.<br>
You might want to patch your installation and confirm it works in your<br>
environment. The ticket is <a href="https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/11565" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/11565</a></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks for the response. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS for the backend with the mythbuntu ppa's. I ended up starting a virtual machine with the same OS (14.04 server). I then followed the instructions at the URL here:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User:Dekarl/Testing_patches_on_Mythbuntu">https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User:Dekarl/Testing_patches_on_Mythbuntu</a></div><div><br></div><div>After I got the source, I downloaded the "hdhrstreamhandler.cpp" patch file from the URL in the ticket. I just copied the file over the existing file and continued onto the rest of the "Testing_patched_on_Mythbuntu" site. I finally installed the proper package on my test virtual machine. The package that uses the newly patched file is installed with:</div><div><br></div><div>$ dpkg -i libmyth-0.27-0_0.27.5+fixes.20150930.2ad3158-0ubuntu0mythbuntu3_amd64.deb</div><div><br></div><div>It will install a file to...</div><div><br></div><div>/usr/lib/libmythtv-0.27.so.0.27.0</div><div><br></div><div>This is the file that is the patched version of the hdhrstreamhandler. I then copied that file to my real mythbackend and edited the init script so the mythbackend line reads:</div><div><br></div><div>LANG=$LANG exec /usr/bin/mythbackend -v record --syslog local7 --user mythtv --daemon<br></div><div><br></div><div>A quick reboot, and it's now putting the stream stats into the debug log. </div><div><br></div><div>I'm sure there's a better way to patch the file because when myth updates, chances of this file getting overwritten and undoing the stream stats are pretty high. I just wanted to throw this out there so if anybody else wants to do it, you know how to.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div></div></div></div>
