Hi Guys, I just started playing around with MythTV. It seems great. However, when I try to record live TV, I get the following errors after a couple of minutes:
IOBOUND = blocking in ThreadedFileWriter::Write() followed by many: NVR: Ran out of free AUDIO buffers :-( The system then becomes unresponsive (can't kill mythfrontend or mythbackend, mouse still works). I'm using March 30, 2005's CVS. I searched the mailinglists, and found individuals with similar problems, but unfortunately could not find a solution. I've tried: - Increasing the buffer size in RingBuffer.cpp - Almost works. Setting the buffer size to 4*1024*1024 causes LiveTV to randomly rewind at the beginning of recording. The audio also randomly hiccups. Setting the buffer size to anything larger causes audio underrun errors. - Enabling/Disabling aggressive sound buffering. - Enabling/Disabling frontend volume control. - Setting the binary as SUID. - Setting frontend sound device to both "ALSA:default" and /dev/dsp. My system is: Athlon XP 2800 Linux 2.6.11 Plextor ConvertX PX-TV402U-NA Latest ConvertX SDK ALSA 1.0.8 DMA is enabled on the harddrive. I considered trying to set the audio device of the ConvertX device (in mythtv-setup) from /dev/dsp1 to ALSA:?, but I'm not sure what the "?" should be. I tried: "ALSA:1,0" and "ALSA:hw:1,0", but mythtv-setup would not store those values. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need any other information, I'll get it to you ASAP. Thanks. nathan _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
