| Post subject: | FF freezes frontend |
Almost every Sunday night and Monday night while watching football "live" I'll try to FF through the endless series of commercials or whatever. At least once each night after hitting FF the live tv picture freezes and the remote control is unresponsive. Last night this happened four times which is four times too many. While I can ssh into the box, I don't have a head on the pc so there's little I can do beside reboot it. Does anyone have any suggestions here? I'd like to troubleshoot this and resolve it. Thanks, Abby |

I think that's a 'nature of the beast' problem... Mine does it too. I work around it with 'forward arrow' . A 'Number of minutes to jump' is entered with the remote, followed by forward arrow and it jumps. Works for jumping back too. (Not an 'installation' problem though...) |

I ran into something like this - recompiling the kernel without smp made it go away.. |

whoa... maybe I have my acronyms mixed up here. SMP = symmetric multi-processing = 2+ cpus? Is this the SMP you're referring to? My reason for asking is that I read elsewhere that multicore cpus do not seem to increase performance for pvr like myth. Rsvp, Abs |

yes - you have the correct acronym. All of the knoppmyth kernels are compiled with SMP enabled. Even if you don't have an smp system, the code still causes issues with some chipsets and drivers.. just saw your other thread where you posted your "ivtv0 warning: DEC:" errors and it rang a bell. Have look at my response, hope it helps. m |
