MythTV on Gentoo woes part 2

Problems with the capture cards have continued, so in the end I had to unplug my Hauppauge Nova-T PCI card.

Otherwise dmesg would show errors like:

hub 1-0:1.0: port 2 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling...
usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 2
DiB0070 I2C write failed
DiB0070 I2C read failed

and after the capture cards died, mythbackend would sometimes crash and burn as well

mythbackend[23251] general protection ip:7fdc36c50f48 sp:7fff3a6a8c70 error:0 in libc-2.10.1.so[7fdc36bdb000+153000]
mythbackend[23302]: segfault at 7f1674000000 ip 00007f167c7ea289 sp 00007fff4fbfec40 error 4 in libc-2.10.1.so[7f167c771000+153000]

So I ripped out the Nova-T and settled for two DVB-T tuners for now.

At least the BE was running somewhat stable now and I could once again focus on the FE. Unfortunately most new danish channes were without sound, since MythTV doesn't support HE AAC audio. However this one was easily fixed by just enabling the faad USE-flag.

Worse were the serious stuttering on especially DR Update, which is actually not broadcast in HD. Seems to be these two bugs: MythTV bug #7481 MythTV bug #7522. After applying the corresponding patches found here and here, all channels seems to play properly.

Only odd thing about the frontends is that I somehow managed to mess up the config. If I run FE A and then FE B,FE B will think that recordings and capture cards are local until i delete config.xml. When I start FE A again it's the same problem there.

So now I'm just wondering wether I should build a dedicated FE using Zotac IONITX-D-E or just hack a bit to use my Pop Corn Hour.
