Hi everybody, My TV frontend has started to crash recently. It happens when I start to watch some recordings (say about 1 out of every 3). If I restart the frontend and try again, it will work. Once I had to restart twice.
Also, when I start some recordings on my desktop frontend (a beefier machine), it will play a split second of audio, pause for around two seconds, then play normally. I think this is related. Since the TV frontend has no keyboard or mouse, the power button tip here: http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/tips.php is the only thing that makes this problem slight annoyance instead of a WAF killer. My setup: Backend: 3 Freestyle's, 800 MHz Duron, 256MB RAM. 40 GB ext2 / drive, 160MB jfs /mnt/store/ drive. TV Frontend: MX440 vga out to Scan converter, 733MHz P3, 256 MB RAM, root mounted NFS from backend. Desktop Frontend: Athlon XP 2000+, 256MB RAM, 40 GB drive, Nvidia TNT2. All systems are running Debian Sarge. I have made four major changes to my entire setup recently, so I imagine that one of them is the culprit. (1) Updated to 0.18 (not 0.18.1 yet) (2) Upgraded TV frontend hardware from Celeron 433/TNT2 (3) Added 160MB JFS video storage drive to backend (4) Changed backend motherboard from a VIA chipset to a Sis chipset board. This fixed any problems I had with recording 2 programs at once. Any ideas? Mark
