Comment (by mdean):
Please take all the discussion and "me too" posts to the users mailing
list. This ticket is already long enough that it will be hard for
developers to find the important/relevant information in the 30 comments.
The generic error message, "Error opening jump program file buffer,"
describes the final symptom of many different problems--the file MythTV is
supposed to play back in Live TV doesn't exist. This problem can be
caused by system or MythTV misconfiguration or, in some cases, MythTV code
failures.
Therefore, it is quite possible some of these "me too" posts are actually
seeing different problems (such as having incorrect file system
permissions, using NFS without disabling file system attribute caching,
having incorrect times on frontend or backend systems, having
misconfigured Input Connections, or many other problems with the
underlying system) and can fix their configurations. This applies
especially to those who have only NTSC (SDTV) channels and a single tuner
(because, obviously, they cannot have a case where they switch from SDTV
to HDTV channels).
Until we know it's a MythTV code failure, discussion should occur on list.
And, even once we find it's a MythTV code failure, we need to identify
whether it's the same issue that was reported here or if it needs its own
ticket. And, if you are not seeing the same issue as the original
reporter, posting to this ticket is not going to help you get your issue
fixed (as you won't get instructions on how to fix system misconfiguration
here and the developer who fixes this issue will be focused on the
originally reported issue).
In other words, having the message, "Error opening jump program file
buffer," in your logs messages does /not/ mean you are seeing the same
issue as the original reporter.
