[mythtv-users] Re:Blips and skipping video starting last week

[David Vasquez]

Just wanted to give an update.  

My problem was related to a corrupted table
(recordedmarkup) as described in a thread titled 'Cut
video every 15 seconds'.

Ran mysqlcheck to fix the corrupted table and
everything is working again.

I have hit the exact same problem that you are seeing 
on my Shuttle SS40G in the last week - well, except 
for the Brittney part :-) 

I decided to check the list before trying to 
troubleshoot and saw your post before I even started 
to search. 

I haven't had time to dig into it yet other than a 
quick check that leads me to believe that the problem 
is on the recording side, not the playback side. I 
copied the files to another machine and tried to play 
it back and it still had problems. 

I'm seeing the exact same thing - pixelating and 
skipping - while recording w/ a PVR-250 to a 80G 
hardrive at 352x480 w/ a 3000/4000 capture rate. I am 
not transcoding either. DMA is enabled and I'm 
running RH9. 

My cable line-up changed sometime over the last week 
but I can't see how that would have any impact. I 
haven't made any other changes. I have old files 
which play fine but the newer ones have the problems. 

Hopefully I'll have time to dig into it this weekend. 
If you find anything please post what you find and 
I'll do the same. 

If we're having different problems, let me know that 
too.

----------- 

I have been using Mythtv with no problems for about 2 
months now. Last 
week, midway through VH1 Behind the Music: Brittney 
Spears, I started 
getting weird pixelating and the video would skip 
around. Darn her :) (I 
can't remember exactly, but I believe the video 
skipped backwards, making me 
think this isn't just dropped frames.) Ever since 
then, all my recordings 
are experiencing these hiccups and skipping around 
about once every 10 
seconds or so. Any recordings that were made before 
then are fine. 
I didn't change any settings before this and had 
installed the release 
version .12 about a week prior. I have a 200g 
harddrive with about 150g 
given to the partition for recordings. DMA is enabled 
on both the hard 
drive and the DVD-burner that shares the same IDE 
channel (The pundit only 
has 1 IDE channel) The hard drive is currently 43% 
full, but was much less 
full than that when the blips started with Brittney. 
The computer is an 
Pundit with a 2g celeron and a PVR250 set to 3500/6000

for capture rates and 
352x480 for capture resolution. I am not transcoding 
from MPEG2. 

Any ideas on what's going on? I don't really want to 
reinstall right now, 
but I don't know where to start since this isn't 
associated with any changes 
I have made.
