I am on a very static LinHES backend/front end server and have run into some errors as of late out of the blue.

  • Out of diskspace warning on the main partition.
  • Decoder errors when issuing multiple fast forward commands during playback.

Diving into this, the Front end logs are huge :(

Two issues jump out:
  • Corrupt recordedseek table
  • AV-Sync might be broken.

For the corrupted recordedseek table, i thought I fixed the issue running some mysql correct commands but never rechecked the logs to verify and the disk space warning never appeared again I thought all was good, but it was not. Here is the fix that removed this error from reoccurring:
Code:
mysql> Rename table recordedseek to recordedseek_bad;
mysql> Create table recordedseek like recordedseek_bad;

This fixed the decoded issue with fast forwarding and the logs. :)

However when testing the fast forwarding, I am still seeing the follow errors occuring about 30 times per second on video playback.

Code:
2022-02-13 12:13:48.869416 W  AFD: Audio -1507 ms behind video but already 220 video frames queued. AV-Sync might be broken.

I am not noticing any audio video sync issues at all. 1.5s lag seems something anyone would notice.

Any thoughts on how to correct this issue or supress the the error from the logs since its filling them up such that a previous days frontend logs can not be view in vi because the file is bigger than /tmp (a first in my entire 35 years of using unix/linux btw).

Code:
ls -l /var/log/2022-02-12

The mysql problem reappeared again, but I think they might be solved again..

For mysql, the table repair was failed because it could not create a temp file. The old temp file from the previous recordedseeked.tmp file was still in the mysql table directory. Deleting the file allowed the new recordedseek table to be repaired.

The frontend log problem seems to be corrected by changing the Playback > Advanced Playback > Audio Read Ahead value back to the default value of 100. Previously it had been set to 2000. I set it to 3000 and the log message jumped from 1xyz ms to 2xyz ms. With the default value of 100, no error messages are being logged currently. I think I touched this value a few years ago to tweak some playback issues which were eventually tracked down to a silent failing drive.

My speculation is that the huge logs allong with the n years of rows in the recordedseek table caused the intial failure. Once it triggered there was never enought disk space to recover fully.
