[mythtv-users] Issues with Comcast firewire, SF bay area

[Justin Moore]

Hey,

Has anyone noticed a huge number of NULL packets in the Comcast firewire
stream starting around 4/16 or 4/17? I used to see file sizes around 5 - 6
GB/hour, but now that's up to about 16 GB/hour and it's all NULL packets.
I've also had problems with MythTV getting a lock on the firewire signal
because it doesn't get enough non-NULL packets before the timeout to
actually get the lock.
- Has anyone else seen this? If so, has your version of Myth been able to
cope with it? (I'm still running 0.24.1-5 on Fedora 14, but
http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7205 hints that it's still broken in
current versions.)
- If you haven't seen it, by any chance have you noticed the size of your
recordings balloon by a factor of ~3?
Symptoms may include hit-and-miss recording, 0-byte recordings, an increase
in firewire timeouts on recording attempts, and bloated recording sizes.
I'm down closer to San Jose, FWIW.
Thanks,-j
