I was seeing buffer prepause when attempting live tv playback. It would pause if mythbackend was started using /etc/init.d/mythbackend init script. It looks as though there's an issue when started via 'su' .

so I created an alias in ~/.bashrc


alias mythbackend='mythbackend -v channel,record,playback --daemon --logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log --pidfile /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.pid'

Then start as mythuser.


The buffer prepause occured if I ran the init script as root or myth user.



I get this very same problem sometimes on my epia box when I try to autostart mythbackend
after a reboot.

I kill the mythbackend process and restart manually ... if I recall "/etc/init.d/mythbackend stop"
followed by "/etc/init.d/mythbackend start".

I don't know the exact cause ... but the restart has never failed to solve the problem.
