Post subject: | Bad recordings on some channels after migration to F5.5 |
Hi all, I recently migrated from an older backend machine running R5E50 to new hardware running R5.5. My migration had a few rough spots, but I was able to work through them with the help of this forum. In general, the new system seems to work. However I now have a show that consistently gets recorded badly. There's no preview image from MythWeb. And when I try to play any recording of this show, I get nothing but grey blobs. Often the front end (which I run on a Mac) hangs trying to play these recordings. Prior to the update to R5.5, the same show recorded fine. Note that I didn't change anything in the recording schedule for this show after the migration. The first thing I tried was recreating my tuner card definitions and doing a fresh channel scan. My tuner is an HDHomeRun, so I also updated to their latest firmware. But I still get the bad recordings. I've tried manually going to the same channel via live TV and I don't see a problem. But I haven't tried this at the time of the problematic show because I'm not at home when it records. Note that the show is on sub-channel 1 of our PBS affiliate, which has something like 5 sub-channels. There are definitely errors in the mythbackend.log that correspond to the recording problem: Code: 2008-12-16 14:59:41.851 Started recording: The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer: channel 1091 on cardid 1, sourceid 1 2008-12-16 15:08:00.410 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Monitor 2008-12-16 15:08:00.413 adding: mythtv as a client (events: 0) 2008-12-16 15:08:01.302 Using runtime prefix = /usr 2008-12-16 15:08:01.306 Empty LocalHostName. 2008-12-16 15:08:01.314 Using localhost value of mythtv 2008-12-16 15:08:01.357 New DB connection, total: 1 2008-12-16 15:08:01.367 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost 2008-12-16 15:08:01.383 Closing DB connection named 'DBManager0' 2008-12-16 15:08:01.384 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost 2008-12-16 15:08:01.389 New DB connection, total: 2 2008-12-16 15:08:01.391 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost 2008-12-16 15:08:01.397 Current Schema Version: 1214 2008-12-16 15:08:01.491 Tuning to 'MPEG Program 1' pnum: 0x1 without CRC check on PMT 2008-12-16 15:08:01.508 mpegts_read_header: could not find any PMT's 2008-12-16 15:08:01.509 AFD Error: avformat err(-1) on av_open_input_file call. 2008-12-16 15:08:01.510 Couldn't open decoder for: /myth/tv/1091_20081216150000.mpg 2008-12-16 15:08:01.511 NVP, Error: Could not open file for preview. 2008-12-16 15:08:01.516 Preview Error: Run() file not local: '/myth/tv/1091_20081216150000.mpg' 2008-12-16 15:08:01.528 Preview Error: Preview process not ok. fileinfo(/myth/tv/1091_20081216150000.mpg.png) exists: 0 readable: 0 size: 0 2008-12-16 15:08:01.531 MainServer: Failed to make preview image.

I guess I should have done a broader search. Looks like this is a known problem: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/m ... its/346930 Sure enough, I'm also trying to record from KQED 9.1 when I see the problem. |
