<br>I noticed a few versions ago that my recordings were hanging. In mythweb, I could see tons of unfinished recordings, and mythtv refused to record any more shows. I had a new card to install, so I decided to upgrade to the current svn, install the new card, and rebuild my cards / tuners again. (I also wanted to see if comcast hid any QAM-64 channels with the QAM-256 (they didn't)).
<br><br>Everything was happy. <br><br>Now -- I started getting hanging recordings again. I restarted the mythbackend, and everything was better.<br><br>So -- the questions:<br><br>1) Is anyone else experiencing this?<br>
<br>2) Is there a safe way to reboot (restart) mythbackend as a temporary work around?<br><br>-Dave<br><font color="#888888"><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>David Frascone<br><br>Oxymoron: Safe Sex.

I can't help you with Q1 (it doesn't happen with my system, 0.20.2) but
for Q2:<br>
/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend stop<br>
/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start<br>
is what I use.<br>
<br>
There's also:<br>
/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart<br>
but my system always complains about this one.<br>
<br>
And you might need to precede these commands with "sudo" depending on
your system and account setup.<br>

<br><br>I was more asking, is there any way to tell if it's relatively safe to restart it. (Of course, with the database fu-bar'ed and thinking it's recording everything, this may not be possible)
<br><br>Or -- What about a script that restarts mythbackend as soon as the number of concurrent recordings exceeds the number of tuners? That would work.<br><br>Now to figure out what the database looks like.<br><br>-Dave
