[mythtv-users] Myth thinks it started recording, but never did.

[Robert Macaulay]

My myth backend recently got "stuck" recording liveTv. It was like it
missed the exit. My tuner0 was recording shows serially for about a
day. During this time, no other shows were recorded.

Myth version
mythtv-0.20.1-157.fc6.x86_64   0.20.20060828-4

The tuner cards are all working perfectly. In the mythbackend logs
that I have(low verbosity, sorry), I have the following sequence of
events. All the live tv recordings are there and playable. Non of the
scheduled recordings actually seemed to record though. In the
following log, it shows that it started recording Colbert. Its not in
the recorded programs though, and the logs never show it stopping the
recording.

I've restarted mythbackend now, so it will probably stop happening.

One last piece of data. I have 3 ivtv cards, and a HDHR. The HDHR
recorded a HD show last night. The logs show a start and a stop for
the show. The only thing I've recently done is delete and re-add all
my cards. All have no problem though in liveTV mode. And there were a
few scheduled recordings that happened after that reconfigure prior to
the liveTV stick. It seems that just the scheduled recordings that
were started after the tuner got "stuck" in liveTV recording mode were
the ones that never really started.
