[mythtv-users] chunks missing from recordings?

[Joe Borne]

I recently upgraded to the atrpms bleeding version in order to eliminate
some problems I was having with dvd's, transcoding etc. It did fix the dvd
problems, but not my transcoding issues. (I'll save that for another post)

The new behavior I am seeing now is that on occassion, a recording will have
pieces missing from it. They appear to be about 2-3 minutes in length and
bunched together in a particular spot, usually 30 minutes into the
recording. The recording will just jump forward 2-3 minutes and there will
be the sort of mpeg compression blocks you would see in a digital
transmission that was having signal problems. (I used to see this effect
when I had digital satellite and was having reception problems.)

It usually clears up and the rest of the recording is fine. I don't think
this is the transmission though because I am seeing it in recordings taken
from my STB with firewire and also in ones recorded analog by my PVR-150.

Has anyone seen this before and is there a fix?


Thanks,

J
