[mythtv-users] frontend bug on program change

Hi,
i'm having a very annoying problem of myth frontend stopping (not crashed,
as i can escape to the menu & then click to resume live tv no probs)
whenever (like 100% of the time) the program changes (on the same channel) -
i have myth 0.20.2 ubuntu 01 installed on ubuntu 7.10 with hauppauge
nova-t-500 & conexant cx88 tuners (issue exists when tuners tested in
isolation), and i'm watching dvb-t streams in Sydney Australia.
I didn't get this problem with 0.20.1 compiled on gentoo, is anyone else
getting this issue?

I initially thought the issue was with EIT & disabled that (i remember old
drivers for the hauppauge caused issues), but that was a no go, i have found
2 messages in the logs:

either "LiveTV forcing JumpTo 1"
or "NVP: Prebuffer wait timed out 10 times"

i could see some older posts similar but with no resolutions..

any ideas ?

thanks
david

I do not have solution, but I have same problem. Earlier that happened 
in every channel, and very often, almost every show change.
Now, after several updates (trunk), it has gone better. Only happens in 
couple of specific channels, and maybe one or two times a day.

I noticed, that if I turn off "extra audio buffering" in tv-playback, It 
started freezing much more, so maybe you should try that.

I see just same messages in log. I think this is not very common bug, 
maybe just some dvb-regions related.
