[mythtv] error in recording, log is filled with errors...

[Marc Kessels]

Hi,

sometimes when the backend tries to record a program, it puts this in my
log:
2005-11-05 21:05:33.040 scheduler: Started recording

etc....
in about half an hour it are about 1 600 000 lines!!! Although the
frontend reports a recording, nothing can be played. Restarting the
backend solves the problem. everything goes fine then.

my (obvious) questions are:
1. what is wrong?
2. how do I solve it?

my system design:
amd64 
Hauppauge capture card (bt848) (sound recorded using snd_bt87x) (used
for this recording)

Medion capture card (saa7134) not connected to any videosource

thanks in advance,
Marc
