Backend Crashes when Beginning a Recording
A MythTV 0.20 backend with a pcHDTV 3000 card and 2.6.19.1 kernel regularly crashed when attempting to record an NTSC signal via the card's S-video or composite inputs (RF input with NTSC signals was not tested). After each crash, the /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log file ended with the message "strange error flushing buffer ..." The cause was traced to the video resolution: 720x480 crashed the backend, but 640x480 and lower resolutions did not. (Resolutions between 640x480 and 720x480 weren't tested.)
