[mythtv-users] commercial flagging and transcode jobs dying

[Guy Paddock]

Well, I noticed a few SVN revisions ago that the commercial flagger was
seg-faulting. I think it's fixed now, but it might be related.

Subject: [mythtv-users] commercial flagging and transcode jobs dying

Hi guys,

Yesterday I noticed my machine was getting behind on the job queue... it 
was working on a transcoding job but very slowly. A quick check showed 
that the mythcommflag was using 80% of the CPU even though there were no 
active commercial jobs (according to mythtv system status). BTW - I have 
the cpu option for the job queue set to high (nice = 0) and limited to 
one job at a time.

I set up another mythtv backend to provide some more CPU power so it 
could catch up.... This morning I noticed that a transcoding job on the 
second backend was stuck at 50% progress. The mythtranscode process was 
not running. No obvious error messages.

I did an svn update, recompiled, and now it is transcoding the same job 
again. It will be interesting to see if it has the same problem in the 
same place.

Any thoughts on how I can diagnose this further?

Quick side-question - is there a way of working out which tuner was used 
for a particular recording?

Thanks

Nick
