Note that I was deliberately recording a show (The Simpsons), stopped the recording and was using Mythweb. Nothing odd in the logs, no errors... Just this. Note that it got as far as "Done recording" then died almost immediately. The restart was forced by my job that runs every minute.
Not sure about the binary packages... It did the same thing (though slightly more frequently) with 0.17 as well. Thoughts anyone? It still looks like a database problem to me, the failing seems to happen when the database is being utilized a lot (and watching "top" I saw usage of memory of the mysqld process spike a little higher than usual right before the crash). Could this be a mysql bug we're fighting?

Version 0.18.0 (not had time to do 0.18.1, but doesn't seem > like it fixes any backend or commflag bugs). try current cvs with debugging turned on and send a backtrace to the mythtv-dev list every now and then this seems to be happen to someone, but since none of the devs can seem to reproduce it, it's hard to fix. best to follow these instructions http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-21.html#ss21.2 who knows, the crashes could be caused by your binary packages themselves so, does it still happen with CVS with debugging turned on? also, look up the "ulimit" command you can set it so that core files are written to disk when a program crashes "ulimit -c unlimited" that way you can run "mythbackend -v all" and do a "gdb mythbackend core" or similar when it dies to make a backtrace even though you weren't using gdb to run mythbackend -- Risto Treksler Elkhorn Lodge Banff, Alberta, Canada _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
