I upgraded to SVN head about a week ago. Then I started noticing
missed recordings. I haven't been through the logs yet - I just
wanted to know if others have noticed this. Symptoms:
- Bug is intermittent, when it fails:
- Recordings are listed in the status screen as being recorded/
tuner in use
- Recordings never show up in the playback list
Can you run your recording with "-v record,channel" until
it does this again? Then send me an excerpt of the log that
includes all the messages from the last successful recording
and say 10 minutes into the failed recording. (I want enough
so that the EIT Scanner would normally change the channel.)
My guess is it gets stuck on some channel due to the same type
of problem that might make LiveTV or a recording not work.
I have been leaving a fair amount of debugging on for a while now. I
just had to find time to go through the logs.
132k of logs from last Monday night are online at: http://
www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~willu/mythbackend.log.2005-10-24
The logs have been trimmed a little:
- times between 7pm and 10pm.
- I've removed all corrupted packet and continuity count errors
from DVB#2 (cardid 3)
As a way to find which programs in this log:
All scheduled programs get a "Started recording:" log entry,
whereas only those that actually started recording also get a
"Prog title:" entry.
Here are just those log lines: (forgive the housemates some of their
questionable taste...)

The South Park recording does seem to start late (note the 6 minute
gap between the 'Started Recording' and the 'Prog title' log entries
for this show).
Also interesting is that the recordings that work are all on card 3.
Cards 1 and 2 are FusionHDTV Lite cards - they normally work much
better than the 3rd card
Card 3 is a VisionPlus HDTV (Twinhan chipset)
looking in my kernel logs around that time I see a whole lot of lines
like this:
Oct 22 18:28:03 dundood kernel: bt878(0): irq FDSR risc_pc=0f64f008
I'm going to switch the eit binaries back in, and see if I can figure
out when my cards die.
Be well,
Will :-}
