Re: [Freevo-users] Recordings don't stop

[Jon M. <jo...@no...>]

Hi Duncan,
Thanks for the response.  I have included the log file.  I also captured a
ps output during the record and another after.

During:
freevo   20829 20757  0 21:18 pts/0    00:00:00 /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/mplayer
-dumpstream -dumpfile
/sda1/Today/In_Progress/03-27_21:00_KIRO_News:_Special_Edition.ts
"dvb://KIROHD"
freevo   20830 20829  1 21:18 pts/0    00:00:00 /usr/bin/mplayer -dumpstream
-dumpfile /sda1/Today/In_Progress/03-27_21:00_KIRO_News:_Special_Edition.ts
dvb://KIROHD

After:
freevo   20830     1  1 21:18 pts/0    00:00:02 /usr/bin/mplayer -dumpstream
-dumpfile /sda1/Today/In_Progress/03-27_21:00_KIRO_News:_Special_Edition.ts
dvb://KIROHD


The only way I have been able to work around this is to add `VCR_POST_REC =
'killall mplayer'` to my local_conf.py.  It works, but seems a bit harsh.
I'm also not sure if this will keep the reencode and commserver from running
when I get around the setting those up.

Thanks again!
Jon

Need to see the output from the recordserver log with the recordserver
in debug mode to help you with this problem. Looking at the code I don't
see any reason why it should not terminate mplayer.

Will you stop the recordserver, delete the log and restart the
recordserver. Then record a short programme and then post the log.
