With the release of squeeze, I dist-upgraded. Prior to the upgrade, my
myth installation was very stable (I never needed to restart myth on a
frontend). After the dist-upgrade, the player locks up on a frontend,
which requires a restart of the frontend via a kill command.
I have the suspicion that the problem might be on the backend machine
because of a "PlaybackBoxHelper Error: CHECK_AVAILABILITY" entry in the
log. The file that is reported not found does exist and is local to the
backend machine. I think at the time of the lockup, the backend machine
had just finished recording and started a mythcommflag. The backend had
also been upgraded to squeeze and is a dual core AMD, 2GB memory and 2
500 GB SATA drives for recordings. The mythconverg database is on a
separate machine. I do notice that when I ssh into the backend machine
when mythcommflag is running, ssh seems to pause for about a second
every now and then.
Has anyone else experienced any issues?
The log from the frontend starting prior to the lockup is
