[mythtv-users] Bad night of recording - everything hosed

Hi,
   Starting last evening we had a really bad night with recording. It
seems that the system was set up to record two programs in parallel
pretty much all through the evening. Additionally there were one or
two people viewing existing recordings while recording was going on.
AFAICT it appears that every program was recorded with some sort of
problem such that now it plays like you were doing a fast forward on
your remote.

   Uptime on the backend server is about 3 weeks.

   Looking at the logs, again starting last evening, I see this:

12:00 noon would have been a recording of Charlie Rose. 1:30PM would
have been a recording of Sensible Chic. Most likely the system was
doing mythcommflag on CR when the 1:30 show started, but there's
nothing very new about this. Further none of the programs recorded
before 8PM (4 programs) seem to skip, while everything after 8PM (10
programs) all skip.

   After sending this email I'm be rebooting the server but I'm
wondering if anyone else has seen anythign like this.

   What a mess!
