What is freezing? Is it the encoder/decoder card or mythtv front end.
My mythtv frontend crashes and freezes periodically. I found this nifty
script somewhere save it somewhere chmod it. Then link it to a remote
button in .lircrc. I modified it slightly for my purposes so you may
want to make sure everything seems kosher.
It either kills the frontend or starts it depending on its status. Push
the button twice and it effectively restarts the frontend.
------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
PROG=mythfrontend
STATUS=`ps -e | grep mythfrontend | grep -v grep | wc -l | awk '{print
$1}'`
if [ $STATUS -eq 0 ]
then
( $PROG & )
else
ivtvfbctl /dev/fb0 -nolocalalpha
killall $PROG
rm -y /cache/cache/ringbuf1.nuv
fi
exit 0

Purely a wish-list item, but I'd like to see the reliability factor go
up a bit before 0.5 and
inclusion in the kernel. Maybe this could become a goal after we're
fairly satisfied with
the feature set.
I'm currently rebooting my box every night to avoid daily lockups. Even
so, they still
happen every now and then. My wife gets all confused when that happens.
:) I work
on it so much that she doesn't know if she should call me or press the
power button.
I'd love to see a 100+ day uptime on my Myth box one day.
