[mythtv-users] Incomplete recordings

[John Williams]

I have been having a problem with incomplete recordings occasionally.
I got a partial recording of Las Vegas last night. I think I deleted
some files using the watch recordings screen when this failed. I have
copied the messages from the mythbackend.log file. I searched the
archives and found someone recommending using swatch to at least watch
for the error and restart the backend. I'm not having much luck
installing it on my FC2 backend. I'm new to Linux and it will take me
some time. Has anyone figured out what actually causes the problem and
how to fix it. As it stands I've decided not to work with recordings
while a recording is going on.
