Hi All,

Having a few issues after the 0.23 update - wondering if anyone can help.

I can watch live TV, but only for a minute or two. After that it crashes to the error "video frame buffering failed too many times".

Using a HDhomerun on a Hybrid. Was working fine until the upgrade from 0.22 to 0.23.

I tried deleting and reading the cards, rescanning channels just in case (100% signal btw). Reload/Reboot. No change.

Checked the mythtv backend logs and see this error a lot, assuming it might be the cause?
Code: [Select]
2010-05-28 23:47:02.143 MainServer::HandleVersion - Client speaks protocol version 56 but we speak 50!
Does this means I have some backend/front end mismatch?

I dumped a few more lines in pastebin if this makes sense to anyone:

Any ideas?

Cheers,
WR

This indicates your pluto_mythtv_plugin is the wrong version. (hasn't been updated)

Maybe try installing it manually.

Thanks Tim,

I tried:
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install -f pluto-mythtv-plugin?

And get is this:
Code: [Select]
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
pluto-mythtv-plugin is already the newest version.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libx264-79 libmath-round-perl
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.

"pluto-mythtv-plugin is already the newest version"

Does this mean it is already correct or is there another way to install the plugin?

EDIT: just realised it appears to be the client which is 56, and the backend which is 50?

Can I run sudo apt-get install mythtv-backend or will that break it further?

EDIT 2: Tried sudo apt-get install mythtv-backend, no change... grrr.

Anyone got any suggestions? Guess I might have to reinstall...

Cheers,
WR

Hey theteju - as above using a HDhomerun on a Hybrid.

Thanks Mandingo. I'll try and track you down :-)

I have had the same messages in different mythtv versions in lmce. The solution has always been very simple ..... leave it alone.

I come back to it after an hour or so and it just works. Not really a fix but it has worked for me and others.

Thx b4rney. It hasn't fixed it for me I am afraid. I have been trying off and on for ~2 weeks... regular as clockwork :(

This probably isn't going to be helpful, but just thought I'd mention it in case it helps us with the bigger picture.

I see this error message if I start myth, and the initial channel is one that is not currently playing any shows e.g. BBC3 during the day. However, if I change the channel straight away (before the error comes up), I don't see the error.

nah - thanks, but it was all screwed up. I went to watch a recording today and every recording since the upgrade to 0.23 seems to have switched, half way through the recording - to another channel! Weird.

Anyway - I just downloaded a new snapshot and am half-way through the setup wizard... hopefully that will be the end of it :)

I had this error when I was screwing around with things I shouldn't, and it was due to me telling LMCE not to use sda1. Evidently it is very particular about where it records. It looks like your issue is different, but thought I would throw it out there. Could watch tv for a minute, then it would throw that error. I am also using the hdhomerun.
I never quit... I just ping out.

Thx l3mce. Yeah I had not changed the recording locations. Anyway - I have installed the snapshot from the 1st June. While I am still working through some issues trying to get everything up and running, the HDhomerun is now working with no crashes. Yay! :)
