Just tried your suggestions and got the following results
hit esc while it's frozen - does it lock up? No
hit 99 while it is frozen - does it segfault? Yes
does the hard drive light ever go crazy while it is frozen for the 5 or ten seconds before it goes back to the list of recordings? No
do you see messages like these in the frontend logs?
- Waited 2 seconds for data to become available, waiting again...
- Waited too long for decoder to pause
I get the following:
2005-02-14 18:03:27.775 prebuffering pause
2005-02-14 18:03:30.466 prebuffering pause
2005-02-14 18:03:34.001 prebuffering pause
2005-02-14 18:03:37.034 prebuffering pause
2005-02-14 18:03:39.815 prebuffering pause
2005-02-14 18:03:40.047 Waited 2 seconds for data to become available,
waiting again...
2005-02-14 18:03:42.951 Waited 2 seconds for data to become available,
waiting again...
2005-02-14 18:03:44.079 Changing from WatchingPreRecorded to None
2005-02-14 18:03:44.178 Changing from None to None
Any help to anyone?

Oh, and the "prebuffering pause" messages coincide precisely with when the
video freezes.

Hey guys, I have seen this kind of messages in my mythfrontend console everyday since cvs of wednesday last week and .17 version. I just get a total freeze then black screen. Is this normal or is it a bug? I haven't tried pressing 99 though. I will try it tonight. :D
Pressing ESC key does not do anything.
I have seen other messages such as:
1. no data from card in 1 second
2. ASSERT.h => something .......... tons of this
3. Transport Stream Continuity Error .........
There is another one which contains the string "Packet". But I couldn't recall. I'm sure it's bad. Packet error, Invalid Packet, Corrupted Packet, etc. I will try it again tonight.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Neil
