Well, here is what happened.
Recorded an hour long show, about 4 gigs, ivtv default settings.
Here is what I suspect was the problem.
I have in the setup -> TV -> playback options...
PLayback Exit - I had set to prompt me.. prompt if I want to save location and
such.
so with that setting in mind, I came to the end of the video .. hit escape (I
hit espace to exit like 4 seconds before it actually ended... I was just in a
hurry to get out of myth for whatever reason).. so myth hangs there thinking.
top shows mythfrontend 97% cpu usage.. I'm guessing its trying to go thorugh
the stream and figure out where it is to prompt me to save location or
something...
I dont know what it was doing but after watching that 4 gig stream it was just
doing somethign 97% cpu usage.
so I killed it and the whole comp crashed.
No idea why.
on another note that may be related.
another hour long stream previous to this incident. I fell asleep as it
completled the video and of course it just exits back to the view recordings
menu, I found my computer crashed at this screen.
ANy Ideas?
are my files too big?
Ive got a athlon xp 1900 with a gig of ram and a Freestyle Hauppauge.
Thanks
Nick
