Hi. A few days ago I upgraded to 2.6.21-rc7-git8 and along that way also to a recent checkout of the v4l-dvb hg tree. After that most of the DVB-C streams I receive are corrupt. (lot of a/v artefacts) After some digging around, I was able to spot the above mentioned patch as the culprit. Everything works fine till hg r5541, starting with r5542 the streams get corrupted. I have a KNC One DVB-C Plus with a Cineview module connected, running with budget_av and budget_ci: 01:08.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev 01) Subsystem: KNC One Unknown device 0021 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap- 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 32 (3750ns min, 9500ns max) Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 16 Region 0: Memory at f2000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512] This is the output of r5541 (working): Linux video capture interface: v2.00 saa7146: register extension 'budget_av'.

What's strange, even though I pass bufsize=1410 to budget_core, the buffer size is somewhat lower with >r5541 than with <=r5541. If I can be of any help with solving this problem, please just let me know. Have a nice sunday, matthew. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
