[mythtv-users] Latest CVS reporting "backend still changing state, waiting"

[Justin Walther]

I'd sure like to know about this one too.  I too am experiencing this
with .16 on FC3.  It seems to occur at the top or bottom of an hour
and happens more frequently the more recordings I aquire.

[root at mythbox ~]# grep waiting /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
2005-01-07 11:30:02 backend still changing state, waiting..
2005-01-07 17:00:02 backend still changing state, waiting..
2005-01-07 18:30:02 backend still changing state, waiting..
2005-01-08 16:00:02 backend still changing state, waiting..
2005-01-08 18:00:02 backend still changing state, waiting..
2005-01-09 10:30:02 backend still changing state, waiting..
2005-01-10 14:00:02 backend still changing state, waiting..
2005-01-11 11:30:02 backend still changing state, waiting..

It causes the backend to no longer record anything.

Thanks,
Justin
