jumping frames, out of order, and frontend segfaults
|
|
I'm using mythtv 0.20-0.2 with a Hauppauge PVR 150 on Kubuntu 6.10
with an AMD AM2 3000+ cpu and 1 GB ram.
Recently I noticed the picture seemed jumpy during playback. I
eventually realized that what was happening was future frames were being
shown out of order. For example, if a person was about to nod there head,
you would see a flash of where there head was about to me, a moment later
they would move there head there.
It's been getting worse and yesterday the frontend crashed for the
first time. I got a couple of errors in my system log such as this:
May 13 18:52:08 myth kernel: [1923098.337467] mythfrontend[20651]:
segfault at 00002aaab4cf9250 rip 00002b419792fb90 rsp 0000000044881a60
error 4
May 13 20:38:47 myth kernel: [1929491.029774] mythfrontend[21294]:
segfault at 00002aaaafdd7b00 rip 00002b17cd87b270 rsp 000000004307eed8
error 6
There are a lot of errors in the backend log like this:
[mpeg2video @ 0x2b288497cfd0]end mismatch left=584 DEFA9

Another symptom has cropped up related to being out of order. Several
times I've got near the end of a recording and realized I'd fast forwarded
past the last scene. I rewound to a spot I knew was before the scene, say
27:50 and watched to the end but didn't see it, just a commercial. Then I
rewound again and saw a different commercial at the same time index. This
has happened several times.
It has even jumped forward a few times during the rewind.
A few days ago, I thought the problem might be related to load and
commercial flagging. I disabled auto commercial flagging in the frontend
setup and disabled auto skip of the commercials since they weren't being
flagged.
However, last night it was still flagging commercials. Thinking
backend might need to be restarted before the change took affect, I
restarted it this morning. However, the it kept showing commercial flags
in the queue.
I manually killed the mythcommflag job and the load started dropping
dramatically. Then it popped up again and I had to manually kill it
again.
How do you disable commercial flagging? Any other ideas as to what
could be causing the frame ordering issues?
