[mythtv-users] Jerky live TV

[Graham Wheeler]

The recording directory is set to /myth which is only 1% used. The file
system that is full is the ring buffer, which is set to be 8Gb in the
settings. I would expect that to always be at 100% use (unless there is
some glitch which means that even though KnoppMyth made it 8Gb and set
the size in the config to be 8Gb I need to set the size in the config to
be less than that).

Your comments are unhelpful (as well as snide).

Actually you should have read the error message and...

...figured out that this filesystem is full, which is where
you have set MythTV to record to.

Please go over your settings, and change the recording directory.
And read the documentation: http://www.mythtv.org/docs
