Mailing List Archive: Mythtv Recordings are truncated

After updating to 0.25-285, looks like my recodings are truncated. The
recordings start and file sizes seem okay. However, after the first 5
secs, the file is corrupt and no player including vlc can play them. This
is now consistently happening. The prior atrpm packages I think 0.25-rc3
was working properly. Whether this is related to the other segfaults, I am
not sure. I know that the backend stays up. The frontend can connect and
play the older recordings fine. The most recent recordings are corrupt.

I see a bunch of these, /var/log/mythtv/mythpreviewgen*log, not sure what
happened to this file.

I believe this was because my backend's hard drives got filled up, so the
recordings stopped early. However, I created the config.xml file anyways
so mythpreviewgen*log stopped complaining. I think things are working now,
but I'll monitor it for the next few days.
