[mythtv-users] RE: PVR250 and Empty Mpeg files

[Ryan]

Richie (et al),
	I am experiencing the same problem with my setup.  Mythbackend runs as 
root, and all permissions are fine.  I say that because the problem is 
intermittant.  Of three programs that were scheduled to record today, 
one recorded fine, one recorded the correct duration but on the wrong 
channel, and the third claims to have recorded (the program shows up in 
the watch recorded file list) but there is only a 0kb file in the 
directory.  Mythfrontend was not running during the time all three of 
the programs were scheduled, so I think I can eliminate that from the 
culprit list.  I have been running with a PVR250 since myth 11, and this 
is the first release I have had this issue (at myth 13 currently).  I 
did not compile with debugging options, but I can if the backtrace might 
help.  If anyone has some idea, or Richie, if you fix it , please post 
to the list, since you are not alone.  FWIW, I am running on an Athlon 
1G (no fancy shmancy XP or MP) with 512M RAM, 160G HDD, Nvidia FX5200 
(again no fancy letters after), PVR-250, on Mandrake 9.1 with stock 
Kernel.  HEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!
