|
|
My mythtv frontend skips video and audio and sometimes stops with a buffer error.
I just discovered that rewinding right after starting live TV fixes it - I have been watching live TV for over 45 minutes and no skips or crashing with a buffer error.
I have done some looking but I don't see anything in the fronend. Is there a way to do this? |

Code: |
$ sudo equery list mythtv
* Searching for mythtv ...
[I-O] [ ] media-tv/mythtv-0.25.1_p20120622:0
|
I upgraded to that version as I read some fixes were in it for livetv, but my setup is still doing it. 1 backend, 3 frontends. I only use one frontend at a time.
Today I accidentally discovered rewinding live TV once so there's ~15 seconds in the queue fixes all the problems! Figures.
Edit: I see 0.26 is keyworded:
Code: |
[ebuild U ] media-tv/mythtv-0.26_pre20120706::mythtv [0.25.1_p20120622::mythtv]
|
I do use my install to watch tv, so I don't want to upgrade until it's stabilized... |

I think I'll try that tomorrow or Tuesday. I didn't even think to look to see if there were other versions masked in the mythtv overlay. |

I've been reading that 0.27 is the development branch and 0.26 is considered stable, so I guess I'll try to install 0.26 later today. I thought 0.26 was still considered the development branch. |

So I've updated my backend and all my frontends. I watched about 10 minutes of live tv with no issues. I'll do a longer test, but I think it's solved. Live tv always kicked me in the butt. It just hates me. |

It's still doing it with 0.26.
Again, rewinding it 5 or 10 seconds fixes it. |

For some reason, .26 doesn't show up at all when I sync. Any ideas why?

Hmm - I went away from the overlay when I discovered an ebuild for .25. May be time to return. |
