| Post subject: | R6 major slow down in program guide and some errors |
I upgraded my R5.5 box to R6 and noticed several problems with the program guide now. Manage recordings>Schedule Recordings>Program Guide 1) Scrolling down is very slow. For example, I hit down arrow 10 times but the GUI just can't keep up with my keystokes. I have to wait 10-15 sec for the GUI to stop scrolling 2) When I go to the Program Guide for the first time, the data is just wrong. Show times and titles are incorrect. That said, if I hit ESC and then re-enter the guide, the show times/titles are accurate, but the speed issue described in #1 is still present. I am seeing a bunch of not found errors in the backend log: Code: 2009-11-07 09:01:36.335 RingBuf(/home/mythtv/.mythtv/channels/nbc_affiliate.jpg): Could not open /home/mythtv/.mythtv/channels/nbc_affiliate.jpg.

There is an empty directory ~/.mythtv/channels. When I manually filled the dir from my R5.5 backup and the speed issue seems fine and as well, the little pics are displayed. I dunno what the deal is with the discrepancies in the program guide though... Also, you can re-download them: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Channel_icons Quote: As of 0.21, MythTV includes a channel icon downloader in mythtv-setup which will automatically download the icons for channels it knows about, or guide you to find icons for channels it doesn't.
To configure icon downloading in mythtv-setup: * run "mythtv-setup" * select "Channel Editor" * click on "Icon Download" * select either "Download all icons.." or "Rescan for missing icons.." One of the best sources of channel icons is http://www.lyngsat-logo.com/ . There, you can browse the available icons and choose those appropriate for your system. However, doing so can be a lot of work (requiring many page hits and a lot of time). Once downloaded you should put the resulting JPEG files into .mythtv/channels/ for the user running the front-end. To add them to a channel you will need to run mythtv-setup and go to the channel editor and specify the icon file name for each channel. |

Just to update the thread. All my icons disappeared again for no apparent reason. I followed the setup outlined above to replace them. Has anyone else noticed this behavior? |

I'm having the program guide slowdown from time to time. It's really annoying. I've pretty much stopped using the guide and just use the up / down arrows while watching live TV and schedule recordings through the web. That said I would really like to find a fix for the program guide. Martian |

I've had this happen although I know it was triggered by something I did. First I rescanned for channels from SchedulesDirect in setup, then did mythfilldatabase --do-channel-updates to incorporate the new channels into the guide and remove the old ones. (Pretty sure this is not a recommended procedure but it seemed like the simplest way.) Not sure which step erased the icons but at the end they were all gone. And actually I have yet to add them back because for me the whole icon update process is incredibly slow. BTW I am not seeing any slowness on the guide, but a) I'm on 0.22 and b) I initially did until I changed a setting... danged if I remember which one though. |

All my Myth screens got really slow on my front end after I upgraded the Nvidia driver, taking 2-3 seconds to change screens were it was very snappy before the driver upgrade. The FE is still .21. The guide is most noticeable when I am watching TV, it is not usable at all it is so slow and makes the sound stop and start until I exit the guide. I was hoping that upgrading everything to .22 would help, but may go ahead and try anyway to see if there is a difference between the LinHES FE and the Mythbuntu FE. |

FWIW - Memory says that if you've got missing icons it can slow the guide down a lot. I forget if the problem is when the icon is specified in the DB but missing on disk or some other scenario. |

I went ahead upgraded everything to .22 and that fixed my problem. I guess upgrading to the new nvidia driver while still running .21 was the problem. |
