Recording 7am to 9:05. Mythbackend.log shows recording started
6:59:31 and finished at 9:05. Mythweb shows it as 2 hours 5 min.
Problem is that it is only 1:06:35 long, which you can see when you
pause the show, and which my wife kindly pointed out when the show
quit on her.
The filesize at 6.7GB and 6.1GB/hr agrees with a show of 1:05.
Mythbackend.log shows the show started at 6:59:31 and stopped at 9:05,
like it should but it actually had stopped being written to the disk
an hour before. Mythfrontend.log shows she started watching at 8:44
so the damage was already done. Nothing at all in the frontend log
between the start of the show and 8:44. mysql.log shows updates to
the show length until it hit the 6.7GB final size that corresponds to
1:05 length. Here are the last two log entries for this show in
mysql.log
40 Query UPDATE recorded SET filesize =
'7245844676' WHERE chanid = '1071' AND starttime =
'2008-08-26T07:00:00'
080826 8:14:36 40 Query DELETE FROM inuseprograms WHERE
chanid = '1071' AND starttime = '2008-08-26T07:00:00' AND hostname =
'myth_desktop' AND r
ecusage = 'recorder'
I don't understand the inuseprograms entry but there are several as
the show goes on so I take it it is not unusual. The filesize is the
final filesize for 1:05 length.
Anyone have a clue what happened? This on top of the KQED problem
isn't going over very well. If this kind of thing keeps happening, I
may end up back with Dish Networks and no mythtv.
