This was with the master backend, but I also have the problem with the slave backend. Actually it is worse in that it won't run more than a couple hours before disconnecting. >> though I >> usually see it as mythcomflag stops working.

I can compile with debugging, however it rarely aborts like this. Usually the slave backend just disconnects from the master, however it is still running and the logs (without any special verbose statements) don't seem to show anything particularly interesting (to me). The master backend usually just stops commflagging with nothing special that I can see in the logs. In these cases while running with debugging do I just CTRL-C when I notice the issue and post the entire debugging text or is it not useful if it isn't seg faulting or locking up? Thanks for the guidance. Bob C _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users [at] mythtv http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
