[Cialug] Mythbuntu

[Nathan C. Smith]

Any idea if the machine is rebooting, or just not doing what it is supposed to?  

Did you check your logs?

Try setting the best tuners to be preferred (whichever one taxes your machine the least - SiliconHD?)  Also make sure your hard drives are tuned to best i/o performance (hint: hdparm)

It seems like there might also be some options to run commercial flagging processes when the machine is less busy.  You might want to investigate those.

I followed Matt's advice and got the Nvidia 210.  That works wonderful.

However, I am having issues with recordings.  I have three tuners, a SiliconHD (dual tuner) and a pchdtv 5500.  During Saturday's Notre Dame game, it stopped recording to record Curious George.  I had to manually set it to re-record the last part of the game.  And I have noticed a few times where something for the kids on pbs is suppose to record for 30 mins and ends up only recording 10-12 mins and then stopping.

I don't have more than three channels set to record at any given time.
 Most of the time, I'm only recording on one channel at a time.  I run Mythbuntu 11.04 and I'm just lost as to why this would happen.
Whenever I sit down and do a few test recordings (set all three tuners to record in the schedule) and check it, it seems to be fine.

Where would I begin to look into this?  Does mythtv create a database or log file explaining when it starts and stops recordings?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael
