<div>Since I now have my production system on V30 I
thought I'd test the v30 <br>
</div>
<div>mythfrontend on my RP3 B+.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I used the standard Wiki instructions for
mythtv-light on the RP3. I <br>
</div>
<div>know it's subjective, but I think the playback of OTA
MPEG2 recordings <br>
</div>
<div>is a little smoother than it was on v29.1 It's still
not as smooth as <br>
</div>
<div>the Shield TV version of v30 Mythtv-frontend, but
it's close. When I'm <br>
</div>
<div>not in test engineer mode, I could watch it with no
issues.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, I did manage to do something that I've not
done is years, I <br>
</div>
<div>locked up the backend using the frontend. I clicked
on Watch TV and <br>
</div>
<div>the frontend never started playing any video. After
a couple of minutes <br>
</div>
<div>I Ctrl-Alt-F1 and logged in to reboot. But before I
messed with the RP3 <br>
</div>
<div>again I went to the Shield TV and it could not
connect with the backend <br>
</div>
<div>either. So I ssh'ed into the backend and looked at
the log. Nothing <br>
</div>
<div>unusual after the video started and nothing until I
ran "systemctl <br>
</div>
<div>restart mythtv-backend".<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Everything recovered nicely, but no record of why the
backend locked <br>
</div>
<div>up. When I use the systemctl restart it took about 5
minutes before it <br>
</div>
<div>completed. I don't know for sure because I had to
leave the room. Not <br>
</div>
<div>sure of the version that locked up, but I had updated
all mythtv <br>
</div>
<div>software yesterday. While I had the backend down, I
updated again today <br>
</div>
<div>with a new verision. <br>
</div>
<div>(30.0+fixes-autobuild.201901261750.f11c5ab~ubuntu18.04.1).
The RP3 <br>
</div>
<div>version is mythtv-light/stretch,now
30.0-3-g44fee4bc8a-0 armhf<br>

<div>i too upgraded my system to 30 today. while i do have rpi3
FE's, it wasnt the reason mine crashed.<br>
</div>
<div>git'd both the BE and primary FE this morning since centos
repo's haven't got 30 yet. All seemed to be working fine when
I tested in the afternoon but then the other half got her
fingers on the remote about 8pm and saw a segfault in mythBE
after she clicked into liveTV & then guide. nothing that
looks useful to bug yet, but i'll keep an eye on it&git
commits. See if i can get time tomorrow to figure out which
verbose options i need to start the BE with for more info.<br>

<p>I have not been successful with LiveTV on Mythtv. It works most
of the time, but you will have issues at some point. Since 99% of
my use of Mythtv is watching previously recorded programs and that
works almost flawlessly. I've looked for other Live TV solutions.</p>
<p>My main TV has a PC, RP3, and a Nvidia ShieldTV all connected to
it. I experiment with the PC and RP3. On the Shield I can run
Mythtv Frontend, and Kodi for recorded TV, and for LiveTV I can
run ProgTV or HDHR view. I've been more successful with setting up
a program that I want to watch live as a Recording and just watch
10 secs behind real time. I find that more reliable than Live TV.</p></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div style="font-family:monospace,monospace" class="gmail_default">I also never watch LiveTV (except the Dallas Cowboys game a few weeks back). *But*, I have 2 Shield's in the house running Kodi with the MythTV PVR Plugin that watch LiveTV all day long practically. Never an issue in over a year, so I cannot say LiveTV does not work, just in certain configurations I would obviously say :) </div><div style="font-family:monospace,monospace" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:monospace,monospace" class="gmail_default">-Greg<br></div><br></div><div> </div></div></div>
