I'm seeing the "application not reading fast enough" messages and my FE locks up consistently after 10 minutes of watching live TV. This started with R5F27. I had been running R5C7 for months with absolutely no problems but need to do something because of the schedules change. I did an upgrade to D then E then F1 and finally F27. Everything works (even got my fourth tuner working finally) but I have all kinds of lockups and freezes. Different messages almost every time. Sometimes I get what appears to be Linux core dumps and other messages including the message I mentioned above so I'm trying to knock them out one by one.
I read on the KnoppMyth Wiki that:
# R5F27: Add the following line after the existing line in "/etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv" that reads "options msp3400 once=1":
* options ivtv enc_yuv_buffers=8 enc_mpg_buffers=32 enc_vbi_buffers=8 enc_pcm_buffers=8
but my ivtv file looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
#
# Set the ivtv Parameters
########################################################################
IVTVCTL='ivtvctl'
IVTVDIR='/etc/sysconfig/ivtv'
V4LCTL='v4l2-ctl'

IVTV_DT='0' # Tuner input,

[ -d "$IVTVDIR" ] || exit 1

# See how we were called:

cd $IVTVDIR || exit 2
for g in $(echo cfg-*) ; do
f=${g#cfg-}
unset IVTV_TUNER IVTV_RATE IVTV_PEAK IVTV_TYPE
source cfg-$f
case $IVTV_TYPE in

esac

$V4LCTL -d /dev/video$f -i ${IVTV_TUNER:-${IVTV_DT}}
$V4LCTL -d /dev/video$f -v width=720,height=480

done

;;

echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/set_ivtv_params {start|stop}"
exit 1

# End
so I'm confused as to where to put this new "options" command.
Can someone try to clarify this for me?

, to see if the lockups truly go away of if I've developed a hardware issue.
