playing recordings from radio stations still has breaks whenever such a timeout happens: (this debug output appears after having applied some fixes which propagate errors back to the caller, and I fixed the debug output for the ret value. I also patched StopHWFilter such that it does not try to stop a filter handle 0xffff) Jun 11 17:21:42 mm kernel: av7110_fw_request: timeout waiting for COMMAND to complete Jun 11 17:21:42 mm kernel: dvb-ttpci: StartHWFilter error buf 0b07 0010 00c8 b96a ret -110 handle de9f Jun 11 17:21:42 mm vdr[16473]: ERROR: can't set filter (pid=200, tid=02, mask=FF): Connection timed out Often it stops for a moment without such a message, I suppose because fw_request still returns just in time. During those stops the keyboard is dead. After the stop replay is faster for a moment. This is not really wanted for pure audio I think? This seems to happen with all radio stations, I just recorded Swisspop which has no AC3. Any ideas about how I could debug this further? Should I try what happens if I remove my 2nd DVB card (budget)? BTW StartHWFilter also returned with -ERESTARTSYS once. -- Wolfgang
