Problem changing channels after upgrade to 0.25
|
|
I recently upgraded my Mythbuntu system to 11.10 and just last night I
decided to upgrade to the 0.25 branch using mythbuntu-repos (see below
for more information on versions, etc). Since the upgrade I have not
been able to change channels from one tuner to the same tuner which is
connected to a Dish Network receiver. When I attempt to do so the
system hangs for about 10-30 seconds and then usually returns back to
the main menu with "Error opening jump program file". This happens
every single time that I switch a channel from dish network to another
dish network channel. I also have 2 tuners connected to analog cable
and if I first switch to a channel from that source and then switch back
to a dish network channel everything works fine. In order to rule out a
delay in signal lock because of the receiver needing to change channels
I disabled the change channel script so that the receiver was constantly
broadcasting out of the composite display and this made no difference.
I have been doing a lot of searching and googling and I'm wondering if
this is related to this change:
https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/commit/4e8d935
From what I have been seeing there have been people that experienced
this issue with earlier versions of myth but never with 0.24 with the
exception of 0.24-fixes. My assumption is that this change was back
ported to 0.24. I also saw that in 0.22 the ringbuffer was changed to
10 seconds rather than the 2 seconds. My thoughts are that prior to
upgrading to 0.25 when changing a channel my system was taking longer
than 2 seconds to start writing the mpg file to disk but since the
timeout was 10 seconds this wasn't an issue but now it is becoming an
issue. I will admit I'm not a developer so I may be way off base but I
wanted to get some feedback on this issue before filing a bug report (if
that becomes required), etc.
System information:
2 front ends, 1 backend
Backend machine is a dual CPU AMD Opteron system with 8GB of RAM
(running 32bit) and is running Mythbuntu 11.10. Machine has 3 PCI
PVR-150 tuner cards installed (one is connected to a dish network
receiver and 2 others connected to analog cable). Hard drives are all
on a 3ware RAID controller with multiple RAID arrays configured (2 are
recordings directories and each of those are on their own dedicated
array). Both front end machines are Dell Pentium 4 systems. One has a
Nvidia GeForce 6200 and the other has an older Nvidia card. Both front
end machines are connected via 10/100 ethernet.
I can gather up applicable log files but I wanted to get an initial
opinion from the developer community and possibly get better direction
as to which log files I need to pay attention to.
