I just tried your update for a while, and it appears that you've resolved the crashing -- however, I am now seeing very bad mpeg distortion. This isn't my photo, but it is similar in image to what I am seeing.

The distortion begins after about 5 to 8 seconds of high-quality image viewing on the analog channels. The distortion is bad enough to make the content unwatchable. XBMC digital channels are ok, Mythfrontend is ok with analog channels.

The log was very large and wouldn't post to xbmclogs.com so I've posted the first 5000 lines (out of 115k) after beginning to select the channel. I also posted just the lines that had the word "Error" in them into a separate paste file. I'm not sure this enough, if not, let me know what you'd like me to "filter in."

Thanks

No crushes now, thanks !
But i have now another problem, after 3-5 seconds xbmc begin bufferig,
video is freeze, when buffering done, video is go on, but audio is absent, xbmc shows (when press "O"),
that not audio at all: D() P(aq: 0%,Kb/s:122,75,att:0.0 db)
at the begining audio was mp3.
myth:// protocol steel work fine.

In mythbackend logs a saw this:
strange error flushing buffer ...
strange error flushing buffer ...

New xbmc log here:
http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=1839 part1
http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=1840 part2

In this log i start watch channel, wait buffering done, then, after a 2-3 sec video vithout audio press stop
and exit xbmc.

If the latest changes don't make it into the final release of OpenELEC with Frodo, there are going to be a lot of unhappy users.

I don't know the details of how the distribution process works, but it seems that it needs some streamlining so that fixes can get out to users when they are needed.

Do you have any contacts in openelec? I asked on their irc channel but didn't get an answer.

In general, we release our stuff to the official xbmc repo github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr-addons but when the release is rolled out to the users
is no more in our hands. For linux it's up to the distribution authors to pick the changed from there.
Other platforms should get the update installed at some point. Which hasn't happened so far.

I try to write as much info as possible in our change log, so it should be clear for distro maintainers that it's worth to pick that update.

About the cpu load:
Since I still cannot reproduce the issue, I've queued a lot more recordings now and in addition I'm using munin and the proc plugin to gather statistics on the mythbackend process.
It'll create graphs about CPU and memory usage, number of threads and a couple of more things.
I will let it run for a couple of days now without restarting and hopefully that helps to find out why the cpu load increases.

If you have the issue, could you check if there is an inexplicable high number of tcp connections between xbmc and the backend?

Code:

sudo netstat -apn | grep mythbackend

In addition I'm working on aligning the tcp receive buffer sizes. It could be related to the problem: https://github.com/fetzerch/xbmc-pvr-addons/pull/98
It's not yet ready for testing since it causes stuttering. I'll let you know as soon as there's something to test.

One interesting thing would be: Do we have anybody here that has the increasing cpu load issue while using only windows as frontend?

Thanks,
Christian
