Hi,
I've had some data stream continuity problems with my two
TechnoTrend DVB-C (SAA7146) cards. After enabling a couple
of kernel driver debug options (dvb_core, debug=1) I noticed
that if I run dvbstream -o 8192 >/dev/null I get the following
error's time after time:
Apr 7 12:45:04 valen kernel: function : dvb_dvr_poll
Apr 7 12:45:04 valen last message repeated 5438 times
Apr 7 12:45:04 valen kernel: dmxdev: buffer overflow
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Apr 7 12:45:04 valen kernel: function : dvb_dvr_poll
Apr 7 12:45:05 valen last message repeated 15797 times
The driver doesn't emit the overflow message when running
the current version of MythTV 0.19, but on the other hand,
all the recorded streams seem to have errors in them:
[mpeg2video @ 0x30fa14c]00 motion_type at 4 15

[mpeg2video @ 0x30fa14c]invalid cbp at 1 24
[mpeg2video @ 0x30fa14c]00 motion_type at 5 25
My hardware setup is:
Asus A7V880 / Via KT880 / Athlon XP 2800
Nvidia 5700
Seagate 7200.7 x 2 (VIA 8237, sata)
TechnoTrend DVB-C Budget (WinTV Nova-C)
(Fedora Core 5 / 2.6.16-1.2080 kernel)
I have tested with different graphics card and
as the dvbstream command is not writing to the
disk at all, I'm wondering if the problem is related to
kernel driver somehow.
BTW. I've patched by current kernel with the budget-buffer patch
posted a couple of weeks ago on this list, but it doesn't
seem to help in this case.
Any suggestions / ideas ?

Tomi Orava
