"connection is not responding" is the response I believe you'll see when the MVP runs low on memory, but... > But the problem happens well before we get to extreme numbers of > shows: > > # grep -c myth:// mvpmc-debug.192.168.13.9-20110418.out > 348 ...yeah, that's not many. (Was the log transcript you posted to the devel list edited, as it appeared to show the "not responding" error after only a few programs had been loaded.) So one possibility that there is something unusual in your mvpmc setup that is resulting in less free memory. You might want to telnet to it after a bootup and before attempting to load the recording list. Post the output of 'free' and 'ps'. Another possibility is that there is a parse failure in the parsing of the show structure, resulting in a hang. (Just a guess.) If so, then it should consistently fail after the 348th recording, and doing things to alter the available free memory should not impact the recording number that it fails on. Also deleting (or nuvexporting and deleting) that 384th recording should permit it to load the full list (or at least go much further). > The mvpmc debug shows mvpmc complaining that the backend was not > responding.

Here are some things I'd look into: -How solid is your connection to the backend? -Are you using wired or wireless? -Can you flood ping to/from the MVP without error? -Have you tried a bandwidth test using the file system browser (its a "context" menu option), and if so, what numbers did you achieve? -Do you have any playback performance issue when using the file system browser? -Take a look at the code (if you grok C) that is producing the error message and see what it is actually testing for. -Try other versions of the dongle. (If you are running a recent MythTV version, your choices may be limited.) -Try some of the other MythTV client functions, such as viewing the list of upcoming recordings, and see if they work. -Configure the database connection and try the database test (MythTV settings menu in mvpmc). -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefiting from Server Virtualization: Beyond Initial Workload Consolidation -- Increasing the use of server virtualization is a top priority.Virtualization can reduce costs, simplify management, and improve application availability and disaster protection.
