[mythtv-users] Playback problems...

[Darren Black]

For some reason unknown to me at the moment, I am now unable to watch
a program which is recording the whole way thru... It seems that
playback stops at the point where recording was at the time I began
playback.

Coinciding with this problem, I am no longer able to watch the mpeg2
streams which myth has recorded using the Windoze dsmyth filters... No
video stream is provided it seems. There are no problems once the
video has been transcoded however.

Here's a console output from mythfrontend while trying to playback an
ongoing recording:
