LiveTV freeze when show ends

Description
When watching live TV, mythfrontend very often freezes when transitioning from one program to the next. Hitting escape a few times gets you back into the menu.
I'm on a PVR150, ivtv 0.7.0, kernel 2.6.17 (gentoo), running 0.20-fixes, svn-11497. A frontend log is attached.

Hi All, I'm also seeing this in 0.20-fixes rev 11496 but for my DVB tuner (a nova-t). The picture just freezes at the hour or half our mark when a program has just ended.
As noted by the original poster... I can get back to the menu system by hitting escape.
Let me know if you need a verbose log of this behaviour...
Cheers,
Doug

I suppose it may also be worth nothing that my kernel is configured with "low-latency desktop" preemption, and to preempt the big kernel lock. My frontend is running with realtime priority.

Hi All,
Here's what I'm seeing in the mythfrontend log when this happens:

The "NVP: Waiting for prebuffer..." and "Ignoring livetv eof in decoder" messages continue in a loop and the video frame remains frozen on the screen. If I wait till the next program change the looping message changes to:

I can exit back to the menu when I hit ESC. Hope this helps, I would have attached the logfile but it's 570MB! Let me know if you need any more details.

I'm experiencing exactly the same problem. I am running FC4 with the latest 0.20 from ATrpms (0.20-140.fc4) and ivtv-kmdl-2.6.17-1.2142_FC4smp-0.7.1-118.

I'm having this problem as well, except I saw this same problem (at least it appears to be the same) with both .19 and .20 on two different machines one a P4 3Gig and the second on a 4400 using kernel 2.6.16 and ivtv 6.3 and kernel 2.6.17 with ivtv 7.0. This is with using both raid10 and a single disk for my recordings.
If there is any information that I can provide please let me know. But my logs look exactly like Doug's above.

This is another 'me too'. I didn't check the logs but was monitoring the time while watching live TV. At the exact program change time there was either a hickup or playback froze completely. Hitting the back button would take me back to the menu.

Me too, but only with my DVB-T card. My analog tuner doesn't seem to do it.
Rather annoying with a particular channel during "kids time" when there's a heap of 5 minute programs. Can't pin it down to a version, but it's in .20-fixes and SVN. Didn't see this issue in .19
I don't have verbose logs on, but I get a lot of:
2006-10-31 17:34:12.599 NVP: Prebuffer wait timed out 10 times.
kind of messages.
comment:9 Changed 17 years ago by
Hi All, And just to let the developers know this happens pretty much everytime a live-tv show ends.
Cheers,
Doug
comment:11 Changed 17 years ago by
OK, running with xvmc seems to fix it for me - it's made it through about 10 program changes on DVB-T so far.

I think this ticket is a duplicate of #2335 which was created two months ago...
I will post my log files there, and hopefully somebody will be able to fix this soon. Allthough it doesn't freeze every time, it happens often enough (several times a day) to be quite annoying.
comment:13 Changed 17 years ago by
Im seeing this on 0.20 with patches. Also seems to freeze when second card starts recording. Lots of freezes on frontend when cards busy.
comment:14 Changed 17 years ago by
Sorry, just a me too: I'm on a PVR500, ivtv 0.7.0, kernel 2.6.17-r8 (gentoo), running 0.20-fixes, svn-11533. GeForce4 MX 4000, NVIDIA Linux x86_64 Kernel Module 1.0-8774
comment:15 Changed 17 years ago by
Another me too. Sorry. I'm running an AMD Athlon 3500+, 64bit-Debian Sid, stock Debian kernel 2.6.18 with cvs v4l-dvb modules installed, Avermedia 777 DVB-T TV Card (TV card works flawlessly on other programs, such as kaffeine), nVidia 9629 drivers (happened too with 8776), XVMC on, running mythbackend and mythfrontend 0.20.20061112-1 version (about svn-11720, more or less). What has happened to me at least three times (one of them with nVidia 9629) is that LiveTV hangs while watching an MTV-like tv station during a videoclip change. Not on every change, but on some of them. The only way I could get out of the LiveTV frozen image was by Ctrl+Alt+Esc killing mythfrontend. Hope this helps.
comment:16 Changed 17 years ago by
I also have similar problems. I do not know if it is the exact same problem as mentioned here: The problem I see is that liveTV freezes. Mostly after 10-30 minutes viewing time. It only happens on encrypted channels for which I have a LEGAL CAM and Smartcard. Further investigating this, learned me that after a certain amount of time between 10 and 30 minutes e.g., the MPEG stream falls back from decrypted to encrypted, disabling the frontend from viewing the videostream. This results in forcing me to press ESC to go back to the main-screen, and reopening the same channel. Similar things happen during recording.
In my case it seems that the CAM needs to be programmed periodically to unlock the channel being viewed. This currently only seem to happen once during starting a new session. Does this need to be done by the driver, or by MythTV?
I use a Skystar 1-CI (alias Twinhan VP1030) adapter on a Core-2-Duo (E6600, 2.4GHz) system, Asus P5B motherboard with FC6.
comment:17 Changed 17 years ago by
For the last two comments. That doesn't seem to be the same problem. The problems I have are related to program changes and not to videoclip changes or encryption problems. My problems are not time related, but only happen on program changes.
comment:18 Changed 17 years ago by
linux@…, can you open a seperate ticket for your problem? It should be solvable more easily than the generic problem reported in this ticket.
comment:19 Changed 17 years ago by
I have investigated my problem some more. My problem also occured while using only: dvbstream, ca_zap, szap. So, it is not MythTV related, but probably DVB kernel driver related.
After replacing my original 'Canal-Digitaal'-CAM with an 'XCam-Orion'-CAM, the problem was gone. It first sounded like a hardware problem, but the strange thing is that the problem configuration works properly on Windows. Probably the Windows DVB drivers do something different than the Linux DVB drivers.
So, for me the problem is solved, and I do not see a reason anymore to create a new ticket for this problem...

Hello
I have this problem. Freezes EXACTLY on program end/start. Ie. If I start watching livetv at 7.05 it will freeze at 7.30 for 30min program. If I watch a 1hr program starting at 8.15 it will freeze at 9.30pm. Lots of eof errors when viewing -v playback and prebuffer messages when just running mythfrontend from command line. Still captures to hard disk as space is being chewed up.
I have a P4 3.0ghz, 1gig ram, i875, dvico dual card (built in second usb tuner), nvidia 6600 using 9631 drivers, FC5, latest myth0.20 packages for Fedora. I recently did full update to my 0.20 box (packages, nvidia drivers, kernel, etc) I built in Sep/Oct06 to rectify tearing video performance issues with the 8776 drivers. Seems I have fixed the video performance issues, but now I have this problem! Argh!
I have tried mucking around with nvidia-settings, playback settings in mythtv. Nothing makes a difference, occurs on BOTH tuners which use slightly different drivers cx88 and cx88_dvb usb drivers.
comment:21 Changed 17 years ago by
Little notice(Thanks to CHRONiCK) if using XVMC there is no LiveTV freeze. I'm using SVN build: 0.20_p12376 under gentoo. CPU AMD Sempron 3400+ VGA: Geforce 5600 Nvidia Driver: 1.0.9631
comment:22 Changed 17 years ago by
Sry, forgot to mention tuners i'm using are PVR-150 and PVR-350. IVTV driver 0.91.
comment:23 Changed 17 years ago by
I have made some observations: http://www.mythtvtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=19561#19561
At some point i got my livetv working flawlessly, but after updating general packages, all came pack.
I posted package list under mythtvtalk forum.
Hope it helps to solve the problem!
comment:24 Changed 17 years ago by
This looks like the very issue I have been having and the same as ticket #2335. I have solved the issue for myself by tuning the mysql server. Have a look at this http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-commits/2007-April/027549.html. I bet it helps this situation. LiveTV produces alot of sql queeries for seek positions in mythbackend.
comment:25 Changed 17 years ago by
I've been fiddling with mysql settings, but it doesn't help for me.
comment:26 Changed 17 years ago by
Hi All, Just a note to say that I don't think this is specific to analogue or DVB-T recordings or HD or mysql setting or kernel version.
I still get the freezes every time a program end/begin border is crossed and I've done so on kernel's 2.6.15 up to and including 2.6.20. I have mysql on a seperate disk from my recordings and I'm only using DVB-T Standard Definition.
I regularily install mythtv-fixes 0.20 to see if there's any joy... but no.
Any detailed thoughts on why this could be happening ?
Cheers,
Doug

I am running current SVN code, Revision 13828. I am still experiencing this issue, but have done a little more debug work. I will attach my log files as well. Mythfrontend hangs at the end of a program when the ring buffer gets changed, however in another terminal, I find the new ringbuffer is in place, and can play it with mplayer. Leaving mythfrontend in the hung state, I find that normal program play is actually proceeding, but frontend fails to open the file. At the end of the next program (where frontend is hung), play resumes on the next program. This pattern seems very repeatable. I have a 3.2 GHz Intel P4 with 3 GB of RAM. I have performed the above-mentioned Mysql tuning with no effect. I hope these log files can make some sense of what the problem is.
comment:28 Changed 17 years ago by
I will upload my log files tomorrow, as I will have to edit out much of the contents due to maximum size of attachments.
comment:29 Changed 17 years ago by
I think this is the same issue as described in ticket #2335. I too am having the problem, and it seems as if it is related to the ffmpeg resync that was performed at 13655. Ticket #2335 is listed as a "minor" priority, but I am hoping it can be escalated since this is literally a "show stopper" for me that results in significant loss of WAF points :-)
