Hello Gareth,

I check that in my mythtv-setup but no it is not on.. Comm-check is done after the show is recorded. But thanks for the tip.. that was something i missed..;)

Do you have it auto-commflagging whilst recording, or set to commflag after recording. 

This is a setting that may have changed between the old and new machines, and would explain why you don’t have the issue with liveTV I think.

Hi guys,

 

Since a month now i have replaced my old mythtv box with a brand new one.. Because i watch allot of HD content and record allot of shows i decided that i needed to have a more powerfull and future proof machine so decided to upgrade not only mem and cpu but also to a GT430 card and SSD drives 2x Corsair Performance Pro Series 256 GB, S-ATA III.

 

But now the problem with this setup against the old one.. When i record a program like say House.. and i decided to watch after 20 minutes (so recording is still going on) to that recording so i can skip commercials etc.. the screen shocks every xx seconds.. The strange thing is that this is only happening during the record/watch fase.. if is go to livetv during the same recording i can watch it without any shocking.. and if the recording is done and i watch a program no problems either.. So i thought maybe it is an IO problem somewhere so i tuned my SSD according and looked at iotop/top etc. etc. but i can't find any bottlenecks anywhere.. It is so verry strange that everything is working as a charm only if i record something and watch it at the same time.. The strangest thing i find is that livetv (also a sort of recording/watching) isn't having any problems.. 

 

It is so strange.. And i hope somebody can help me figure out what is going on here..;)

 

Regards

Quint
