I'm having a weird issue. I searched through the list before emailing, but have not found anyone experiencing the same kind of problem I am.
When recording from my PVR-500 (also
did it with a v4l software card, I have a 6200 box and firewire connected but
I'm still not using it due to it being buggy), it breaks the file into many
pieces seemingly at random. Sometimes they are 18MB sometimes 500MB or larger, etc. I
think it may have something to do with commercial flagging?
I'm not sure what exactly could be
causing this so let me post some info on my system:
Backend: Fedora Core 4, amd 1800+ with 512 ram, PVR 500, (also screwing around with Motorola 6200 firewire but its still buggy), gigabit Ethernet
Myth: 18.1 (installed about 2 weeks ago)
Ring buffer runs on a local pata drive mounted at /video with about 25GB allotted
Mysql is local to the backend
Recording/recorded video goes to a win 2000 server machine that is running a smb share of close to 600GB (over gigabit ethernet) in a raid 0 configuration with transfer speeds in the 100+MB range. Jumbo frames aren't on with this network. This samba share is mounted on bootup to /video/mythtv
I don't have any other slave backends or anything like that. Checked myth backend.log file and its not showing any errors or anything like that that would explain it. Thank you for any help in figuring out what it causing this frustrating problem. If I can't solve the issue, I'll just start over with a fresh install for myth 19.
