Hello,<br><br>You could be on to something here.<br><br>There are indeed symlinks in the video storage directory that are circular<br>I created them because mythweb kept complaining about them.<br><br>I removed them now and now mythweb is complaining again when I click the video link.
<font size="2"><br><br>Error:Could not create a symlink to /data2/video/Movies/, the local MythVideo
directory for this hostname (vimes). Please create a symlink to your
MythVideo directory at data/video in order to use the video portions of
MythWeb.</font><div id="message">
</div><br>And in the video storage folder mythweb has created a symbolic link to itself<br>ie mythweb did : ln -s /data2/video/Movies /data2/video/Movies <br><br>Not good either<br><br>That's why I created the circular links, to keep mythweb from creating faulty links.<br>
<br>Ok the circular links are gone and now there is a faulty link in the video storage directory.<br>Mythweb no longer functions properly when clicking the video link.<br>Mythbackend is running again, let's wait and see if it crashes out again. <br>

OK. I have a question.<br>
<br>
Your video directory (as configured non-storage group)... does it<br>
have any symlinks in it that would possibly cause a cycle... or do<br>
you have many many files? It seems you are in an infinite loop<br>
filling memory.<br>
<br>
This is not normal :)<br>
<br>
If you are not sure what I mean... then do:<br>
<br>
find /data2 -type l > /tmp/data2.txt<br>
<br>
And then check each of the reported links. If any of them are -> . or<br>
-> .. or the like, that could be a serious issue. </blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
