No longer stumped. I replaced my Ethernet hub with an Ethernet switch and all my problems went away....
It seems that watching TV is a little more forgiving than watching
Recordings....
I have been watching this thread as I have had similar issues.
Watching Live TV on either of my two front ends works fine. Watching a Recording in Progress also seems to be ok.
When watching a previously recorded show the show will exit for some reason. (Not sure why.) It is not always in the same place. Going back into the same recording it will play beyond the previous exit and may exit some place else.
When pausing a previous recording for an extend time. The recording will play for 2 - 3 seconds after I press play and then exit.
I have save position on exit checked, however when the recording exits by itself the position is not saved.
This happens on both my front ends.
I have moved by cards in the backend to make sure that each of the two tuner cards is on a separate IRQ and that the network adapter is also on a separate IRQ. The frontends and backend are connected by wire with a D-Link Ethernet switch.
I also used to have problems with my NFS shares between the PCS. I changed them to use TCP instead of UDP and the problems went away? I think my switch may still be dumping UDP packets periodically, but I have not found a good way to debugging this.
Anyone got any advise on where to start looking???
"ifconfig" may give you some useful stats. Of course the other side (ie switch, or other PC on hub) also would be good to know, but hard to get.
