I am getting the following error 2 to 5 times a week on my backend/frontend system:

Code:

Playing the same video does not reproduce the error. But the a different episode of the same tv program usually triggers the freeze. It could also just be the first show that is watched after the system has gone though an extended period of inactivity.

The line in the log that always precursor to the freeze is is always:
Code:
mythrender_vdpau.cpp:610 (CheckOutputSurfaces) VDPAU: Added 2 output surfaces (total 4, max 4)


always 4/4 surfaces

Within 5 minutes mplayer crashes and the frontend is semi unresponsive. Note that the backend seems total unaffected and in-process and future recordings are oblivious to the the frontend issues.

Performing a sv restart frontend or a pkill X brings back the frontend without issue as one would expect. However when myth front plays the next video, the video plays fine, but the mythfrontend has no sound and reports that the sound device is not available. The sound device is the HDMI output from the video card, which is a new ZOTAC GeForce GT 730 passive 1GB 64-Bit DDR3.

Xymon reports a relatively high temperature for the GPUs at the time of the freeze based my system, but these GPU temperatures are only mid range on the nvida temperature scale. The jump is from 29C to a max of 38C.

Rebooting the system corrects the sound problem, and the issue goes away from the next 24 to 72 hours.

I saw a thread that indicated some AMD boards set the minimum PCI bus to a level that starves the video cards, thus I bumped the minimum frequency up to the recommended minimum frequency in the thread. Not sure if this reduced the frequency of the issue or not.

The problem is now happening in on my shows now... :(

After a video freeze, the audio is not available became the device is still locked by the previous mythplayer.

Player(7) is the mythplayer that had the video freeze.
Player(0) is the mythplayer launched after the freeze that does not have sound.

Player(7) is still throwing errors in while Player(0) is playing

The logs are after a freeze when the freeze was corrected via a remote sv stop frontend, sv start frontend.

This sounds an awful lot like the same problem I'm experiencing.
viewtopic.php?f=21&t=24276

Will have to check the logs next time it occurs and see what they say.

Mine just froze again. I had been watching Live TV on the same channel for about an hour or so.

I don't think it's related to "VDPAU: Added 2 output surfaces" because I see those all the time in my logs without a freeze. But definitely the same problem.

I'm also pretty sure that it started two updates ago, prior to that did not see this problem. Have been using the same hardware for a year or more.

What is your video card?

The two shows that freeze seems to occur the most often in of are Ellen (wives daily recording goto) and the latest Sleepy Hollow died in two different spots on when viewing on two different days.

Video card is NVIDIA GT218 [GeForce 210]

I doubt that it's related to a particular program, mine just randomly hangs,
doesn't matter if its a recording or live tv.

I was able to get the audio back after a freeze. Somehow there is an extra mythfrontend process hanging around after reseting X or the fontend.

/usr/bin/mythfrontend -d --syslog local6

killing the oldest mythfrontend freed the ALSA HDMI device

Ok thanks. I will have to look for that. I am wondering where that is coming from?

One would think that if you restarted the frontend service It would kill the first one. Before starting another.

I was able to find that svc restart was not the way to go. I wrote a script that found the frontend pid and killed it. The normal action is to restart the frontend when it dies so that was a quick way to restart the front end.

Since then it seems to happen about once a week. I have noticed one thing that I find odd. Every time the time out occurs it's alway after it's been pulling weather data in the background. I find this very odd. But the last 3 times it's frozen. The log is identical. See below.

I can't see that making a difference (other than a little additional cpu usage). I'm going to disable background updates and see what happens just to see.

After crashing every other day for two weeks, it has not crashed for two week straight now. Very odd.

As you can see from the log it starts Waiting for video buffers several times before it actually fails.
2016-03-04T11:00:27.714351-05:00 the 16 minutes, 19 minutes, 38 minutes and then at
2016-03-04T12:00:10.397865-05:00 times out an hangs.

Any ideas anyone?

Here is a restart script:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
sv stop frontend
pkill /usr/bin/mythfrontend
sv start frontend


I went on a business trip and naturally the pvr broke hourly. Texting commands to the spouse from memory via a with phone both auto correct and auto casing made everything super complicated. After coming back home, I noticed the USB receiver for the keyboard, which was on an extender was knocked of the shelf and on to the ground. I re-positioned the extender back on the shelf and the hourly crashing stopped. Speculating that some lockups could be noise be received on the usb receiver. Still by far my most consistent lockup is at the 5 minutes mark in a show when the pvr has been inactive for an extended period of time. The second most common lockup is at the transition from regular programming to a commercial and vice versa.

Odd is it an RF or IR receiver ?
Was there a potential source of EM noise near the receiver?

Here is my 8.4.0 script that was rock stable unfortunately it did not work for me in 8.4.1.

tscholl, kingofspain, did either of you find a solution to the frontend lockups? I just upgraded this morning from 8.1 to 8.5.1 and already experienced it once. My log contained:
Code:
2017-12-22T15:06:49.055633-06:00 mythfrontend[2512]: E Decoder mythplayer.cpp:3503 (DecoderGetFrame) Player(1): Decoder timed out waiting for free video buffers.


I also have a Geforce 210 and did not have this issue in several years with LinHES 8.1. Have either of you tried downgrading the nvidia driver (if it's possible) to see if it helps? I would consider upgrading the video card if it only happens on the 210.
