Recordings failed, device end of file detected

[mythtv@…]

My setup has 2 tuners and both having 2 as max recordings. So Myth sees 4 encoders.

Scenario: One recording was active from 21:00 hours and another was going to start 21:58 on the same multiplex. Second recording killed all recordings.

This appears to be a driver problem. What does dmesg do at this time? What is your hardware? What is the driver?

[robertm]

Apparent driver issue, as it is the one reporting EOF.
