[mythtv-users] tuner stopping recording

[Kevin Hjelden]

I've got a dual tuner system (ATI TV Wonder VE = /dev/video0 connected 
to Comcast Cable on "Television"; TurboTV = /dev/video1 and only 
composite works, DirecTV connected to it). I don't think that part 
matters, but intermittantly, the TV Wonder will stop recording shows and 
get stuck on one show. Basically it will get like 2k into the file and 
get stuck. I can't delete the file using mythweb. I have to restart 
mythbackend then delete the file and it works fine again for a day or 
two and then the error will come back. I've logged the output of 
mythbackend by running `mythbackend > mythlog 2>&1`. Here is what I 
think the culprit is:

2003-10-28 17:30:00 Changing from RecordingOnly to None
2003-10-28 17:30:01 Found changes in the todo list.

2003-10-28 18:30:02 Started recording "Seinfeld" on channel: 1043 on 
cardid: 2, sourceid 1
2003-10-28 18:30:02 Changing from None to RecordingOnly
Can't open video device: /dev/video0
strange error flushing buffer ...
open video:: Device or resource busy
2003-10-28 18:30:02 Changing from None to RecordingOnly
strange error flushing buffer ...

Also, there are a ton of these lines in the file, they seem to be 
generated all the time.

ran out of free AUDIO buffers :-(

I'm running SuSe 8.2 (?) and a copy of mythtv cvs from a few weeks ago. 
If anyone has any ideas about this, let me know. It's kind of annoying 
to have to get some shows on the internet :(

Thanks,
Kevin
