[mythtv-users] MythTV backend crashing constantly

[Joe Auty]

Hello,

What sorts of troubleshooting techniques can I employ to figure out why
my Myth backend is crashing all the time? It happens so randomly that I
can't really get a strace in, and nothing terribly obvious is being
outputted to the logs:

2007-10-19 00:33:55.342 AFD: Opened codec 0x743600, id(MPEG2VIDEO)
type(Video)
2007-10-19 00:33:55.431 Scheduled 13 items in 11.1 = 10.98 match + 0.13
place
2007-10-19 00:33:55.432 AFD: Opened codec 0x7439d0, id(MP2) type(Audio)
2007-10-19 00:33:55.442 Seem to be woken up by USER
2007-10-19 00:37:44.448 Event socket closed. No connection to the backend.



What are some of the most common causes for random backend crashes while
idle, and what can I try to fix them? I recently disabled ACPI in my
kernel as this was causing machine instability, I don't know if this has
anything to do with my problem?
