Comment (by Bob K Mertz <online@…>):
This issue is also affecting me since upgrading to 0.25 on a Mythbuntu
11.10 system. On my system I am using a total of 3 PVR-150 tuner cards
with 2 being connected to analog cable and 1 being connected to a Dish
Network receiver. Everything functioned perfectly on 0.24 (I was not
running 0.24 fixes) but now everything works but I exhibit the same
results with not being able to change channels directly from one dish
network channel to another (ie. on the same tuner). I can, however,
switch to a channel on an analog cable tuner and then switch back with no
issues. The error that I get on the front end varies between "Error
opening jump program file" or an error related to waiting for video
buffers. I have done a lot of googling on this issue and it seems that
there were reports of this error back in 0.22 and 0.23 but not in 0.24
until 0.24-fixes came out. I found that in 0.24 the ringbuffer time was
increased to 10 seconds because ''Several tickets recently have suggested
the default 2 second timeout is potentially too short for certain tuner
types and configurations and leads to unnecessary playback failures.''
This was then changed back for 0.25 and it appears this was something that
was backported to 0.24-fixes.
0.24 change:

0.25 change:

In my opinion I think that Ticket #9846 is the same issue as this.
I am going to attach my backend log file as well. Note that I have
removed a ton of device poll errors from the log since they continued for
the duration of the issue.

Additional information on my system: I am running a backend server with 2
front ends that both exhibit the same issues. The backend machine is
using multiple arrays on a 3ware 9500 PCI card and is a dual AMD Opteron
246 system with 8GB of RAM (running 32bit). Both front end machines are
connected over a 10/100 network.
