I'm wondering if anyone is seeing the same problem as I'm having. I
have the cvs of mythtv as of Jan 25th, 2004. Also running ivtv 0.1.9
the latest release as of the 25th. My hardware is as follows:
2 PVR250MCE encoder cards
GF4MX440 graphics card
AMD 2500+ cpu, 512M ram, nforce2 MB
I have everything up and running fine
(mythtv,dvd,news,weather,video,music) and I can watch and record TV
fine.... at least for a while. When I leave the box after firing up
live TV and come back to it hours later (lets say 4-8 hours not sure how
long it takes for this to happen) the audio/video is choppy and behind
real-time by quite a bit. Now if I ssh into the box and check the cpu
w/ top, I see the mythbackend and mythfrontend are competing for the
CPU, mythfrontend using ~49% and mythbackend using ~49%. At this point
I always have to kill the mythfrontend process then restart it, and
everything is happy again until I start live tv and leave it on for a
couple hours again. It doesn't appear to be an ivtv problem since I get
no kernel logs reported while this is happening. I have tried turning
every conceivable option on/off related to TV and it seems to not make
any difference. Can anyone offer any suggestions please?
Thanks,
Shane
