Hi, first the errors: Jun 6 08:24:09 mm vdr[17226]: switching to channel 2 Jun 6 08:24:10 mm vdr[17337]: transfer thread started (pid=17337, tid=114693) Jun 6 08:24:10 mm vdr[17338]: receiver on device 1 thread started (pid=17338, tid=131078) Jun 6 08:24:10 mm kernel: dvb-ttpci: warning: timeout waiting in BlitBitmap: -512, 1 Jun 6 08:24:10 mm vdr[17339]: TS buffer on device 1 thread started (pid=17339, tid=147463) Jun 6 08:24:11 mm kernel: __av7110_send_fw_cmd: timeout waiting on busy MSG QUEUE and lots more. This happens with vdr-1.3.23 and vdr-1.3.25, firmware 261d and the latest experimental firmware and unmodified 2.6.12-rc5 if I 1. tune to ZDF (channel 2) 2. change audio to DolbyDigital 3. tune to another channel (I used channel 3, RTL) 4. tune back to ZDF However if I omit step 2 and only change audio to DolbyDigital AFTER step 4 I get no errors. It seems as if tuning has not yet finished when the change to DD should happen, so I added some test code, see below. msleep(10): still the same problems msleep(15): I get the new message "first try" and the warning but no more errors. msleep(20): I only get the new message "first try", the warning does not come anymore The timeout 10*HZ does not trigger, I also tried 1000*HZ but wait_event_interruptible_timeout always returns at once. I suppose the msleep should not be here but after some function call that needs more time. I should be able to find that place but maybe somebody already knows? I also applied the patch from Peter Beutner from saturday, no changes. I still have 2 problems: 1. after tuning to a channel with DD active, from 0 to 30 such messages: Jun 6 09:11:34 mm vdr[19416]: ERROR: result buffer overflow, dropped 2048 out of 2048 byte 2.
