mythv seems to have died

[l3mce]

Thanks,...

Do we have to rebuild Media Directors after?

Nope.

I'd appreciate people checking if it is enough to downgrade pluto-dcecommon on the core, or if a downgrade is needed on the MD, or if a downgrade is needed on both.

Thx.

[l3mce]

For those of you who have downgraded everything already, just apt-get install pluto-dcecommon on your MDs to test and reload the router, and test. Then dpkg -i again with the old one if need be.

[l3mce]

On my end MDs also require the pluto-dcecommon reversion.

sorry for the delay, guys.
I am however very happy to report, that the procedure works and both patients (core and md) are alive and well.

Now we just need to find out, what causes the latest dce lib to break mythtv.

[JaseP]

I haven't downgraded yet (Dad getting out of the hospital, built-in microwave from the honeydew list, the holiday and baby-girl's 4th birthday,... yes, that's how old my profile pic is),... I can try to stress-test the system, if you tell me what and where to pull log files from...

My system doesn't crap out with any consistency, but I can try taxing it by having a couple of the MD's playing live TV over night... It tends to do it when it's been on Live TV for an extended period of time... But it's hit and miss.

Just let me know what and where to pull logs from,... and I'll see what I can do...

posde - confirming I downgraded the core only... MD now looks to be working. thanks

posde, can also confirm that core only downgrade fixes it.

Note: I had downgraded all (Core & MDs), and it seemed to fix the issue. However, I did experience one similar occurrence this past weekend, one time... So far, it has not repeated itself, so may be an anomaly and unrelated.

[Marie.O]

Plea to all: We have provided a new version of dcecommon. If your bandwidth permits, i.e. people other than l3mce, please apt-get update and apt-get upgrade your system, and see if the latest version of all files are helpful. Theoretically there is no need for a reboot, but if things go wrong, do a reboot.

Thx for testing.

[JaseP]

Thanks, I'll do that tonight,... MD's and Core alike, I assume?!

Will an apt-get upgrade alter the alternate storage radar script that L3ME was asking us to test??

Yes. It will get overwritten. Just re-copy your download into /usr/pluto/bin

Thanks...
