| Post subject: | Recordings fail, bttv problem? |
My 0.15 backend has been working flawless for quite a while now, but in the last week, I've had a number of recordings end up as just 29MB files that obviously don't contain any video. I'll reboot, it'll be OK for a few recordings, then the same thing occurs. My syslog is full of a lot of: Code: VSYNC HSYNC OFLOW RISCI Sep 23 08:00:18 mythtv kernel: bttv0: reset, reinitialize Sep 23 08:00:18 mythtv kernel: bttv0: PLL can sleep, using XTAL (28636363). Sep 23 08:00:18 mythtv kernel: bttv0: timeout: drop=27 irq=879438/879438, risc=2713c03c, bits: VSYNC HSYNC OFLOW RISCI Sep 23 08:00:18 mythtv kernel: bttv0: reset, reinitialize Sep 23 08:00:18 mythtv kernel: bttv0: PLL can sleep, using XTAL (28636363). Sep 23 08:00:19 mythtv kernel: bttv0: timeout: drop=27 irq=879438/879438, risc=2713c03c, bits: VSYNC HSYNC OFLOW RISCI Sep 23 08:00:19 mythtv kernel: bttv0: reset, reinitialize Sep 23 08:00:19 mythtv kernel: bttv0: PLL can sleep, using XTAL (28636363).

I don't think I've installed anything that would have caused any dependancy conflicts, nor have I made any other changes. I'm using a Pinnacle PCTV Pro card. Thanks for any input... -Mike |

well I don't see why this would cause the problems you are having, but if you haven't made any other changes to the system I would check and repair your database if needed. there is a sticky on how to do it. |

Whoa, pretty much ALL my tables needed to be fixed...I'll see if this helps. Is this something that should be done regularly via cron or at boot time? Thanks! |

This is usually a sign of some kind of unclean exit or shutdown. - Does your box have a UPS and appropriate software to shut it down in an orderly fashion if the power fails? A UPS is cheap insurance against problems like this, not to mention hardware damage. - Do you have other people in the house who are likely to power off the sytem without doing a clean shutdown? If education doesn't help you may want to disable or block the power button. This can also happen if you suffer backend software crashes, but I can't remember the last one of those I saw. |

I know we lost power over labor day weekend, and my wife bumped into the power switch by accident last week, but I've disconnected it since. Might have to get a UPS just in case, especially for the xbox-frontend (hard to run fsck without a keyboard  ) Maybe that was the problem...it correlates well with when I started seeing these problems.
Thanks, Mike |
