I have used VDR for a 18 months now, but in the last 2 months found that
stability has gone completely out of the window. It started when I tried to
get the vdrsync code working to burn dvd's (never successful). 

I have a Pentium P4, 2.4Ghz, 512 MB Ram, 2 x 120 GB IDE disks, with an ASUS
motherboard. Cards are a TT-FF DVB-T and a Nebula DVB budget card. I had so
many problems I reverted to rebuilding the system from scratch. I was
working on linux 2.6.4, but listening to the list I upgraded to 2.6.11 on
the rebuild. 

Things have not got better. 

It is impossible to record anything from the budget card, which is VDR's
preferred card. I get so many errors trying to sync to skip bytes to sync to
a TS packet it is untrue. The recording makes old VCR's look good. Funny
this, because the DVBT enabled television is just fine. 

I tried recording just of the TT-FF card. OK, I can only record one signal
at a time, but at least it will be stable, right? Wrong. It's as unstable as
an unpatched windows box. 

For example: 

May 30 22:50:22 vdr vdr[8931]: timer 1 (1 2240-0045 'Total Recall') set to
event Mon 30.05.2005 22:50-00:35 'Total Recall'

Recall' status 4
May 30 23:03:38 vdr vdr[8935]: channel 3 (BBC THREE) event 23:00 'Ideal'
status 4

May 30 23:25:16 vdr vdr[8931]: exiting
May 30 23:25:16 vdr vdr[8931]: emergency exit!


My recording stops in the middle with an unknown picture type. At this
point, nothing I do other than reboot will restore VDRAdmin (probably the
most important feature of VDR IMHO). 

I have tried VDR 1.3.25, I have reverted to 1.3.20. I have taken the latest
versions of firmware, I have reverted to those that came with the card. 

Am I alone in thinking that, for anyone who wants to actually watch TV, the
answer is a SKY+ box. Please, god forbid it should come to that. 

What am I doing wrong here? 


HELP !

If you want to start a new discussion, please do not use reply.
Start a new message.

Otherwise its a contribution to the previous thread 
(here: Summary missing when using Text2skin), which is
obviously not your intend.

Kind regards,
Stefan
