probably due to a driver bug or limitation. You might not get any video, but we'll try anyway.

I get the same problem here with nvidia 8178 drivers and gcc 4.1.0 (x86_64). It does not matter which decoder I use. If I record, it will playback and then I can watch LiveTV for a while. It will then unpredictably go back to "AFD Error: Could not find codec parameters" during a restart. I don't know what triggers the change. Stuart: can you also record and playback?

comment:2 Changed 18 years ago by anonymous

Exactly the same, when I enter LiveTV the backend starts recording as normal and I can later watch the recording. I never get any LiveTV on the frontend tho.

Scheduled recordings/playback also work normally.

I was wondering if LiveTV was reading the buffer file before the backend had streamed any data into it, hence the "no decoder" error.

I just did a bit of experimentation! When I can get LiveTV working, I can restart mythtv many times with no problem. However, if I change to another channel and then exit mythtv, when I restart I get the above error. Also, mythtv does not exit after the error:

VideoOutputXv?: Closing XVideo port 274

LiveTVChain(live-...-2006-02-02T16:38:08): ReloadAll?(): Added new recording

and it sits like that until killed. The problem then persists unless I schedule and record another program.

What log level are you using? I dont see that error.

Symptoms are the same tho

comment:5 Changed 18 years ago by cca@…

Sorry, my mistake. That error only appears sometimes and after a long delay, and if it does, I can watch LiveTV again afterwards!

comment:6 Changed 18 years ago by cca@…

In mythweb, all the LiveTV recordings are listed as 'currently recording' and even if I delete them all there are residual .mpg files in my /mnt/store directory. If I delete those files I can watch LiveTV again.
