> Can you provide mythfrontend, mythbackend, and dmesg output for this
problem? Default verbosity should be fine for now, but please don't edit
the logs, make them from backend and frontend startup-- so restart the
backend and start capturing the log, restart the frontend, start livetv,
and wait for the problem to happen. Then get dmesg, and post all of the
above here.
Robert,
I am not sure I know how to capture the dmesg output, can you give me an
example of the command you need me to execute and I will do that.
Also, I think I've learned more about this problem than when I initially
reported it. I believe what is going on is when watching live tv the
stream is written to a file and it is actually the file that is being
watched; at least that what I understand based upon reading the various
threads. Further, the problem seems to occur when the file is changed ie;
when one show ends and another starts. So, it is not just on the hour but
also on the half hour if a show stops and another starts on the half hour.
If the above is correct then I believe what is happening is some sort of
delay while one file closes and another is opened.
Last, the severity of the problem has become much less since I wrote th
original ticket. Now, rather than getting the error message "Error: Video
frame buffering failed too many times." as the one program ends and
another begins I just see a brief 1-2 second stutter in the display. For
example, live tv may pause for 1-2 seconds and then resume without any
further issues until the next transition from one show to another.
John
