Ubuntu + HDHomerunPrime + Prime Encoder

[matt91]

Just installed a HDHomerunPrime (w/ cable card) on my setup, which required me to utilize the great prime_encoder script to get my installation to be able to interface with the unit.

I only got this setup last night, so I haven't done extensive testing, but I have noticed that something fails at about 15minutes in to a recording.

Additionally, i'm seeing hundreds (if not thousands) of these lines in the log:

This all being said, things seems to be working OK. I can view these files and they seem OK (although Comskip didn't run on them, but that may be some other issue.)

Anyway, just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts on this.

Thanks,
Matt
