In this case modify dmxdev.h in the DVB driver so it reads: #define DVR_BUFFER_SIZE (100*188*1024) // was 10*188*1024 You can do this if you have a kernel source >= 2.6 in the driver (check with uname -a): /usr/src/linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dmxdev.h then recompile (make modules?). ====================================================== I have corrected /usr/src/liplianindvb/linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dmxdev.h #define DVR_BUFFER_SIZE (100*188*1024) but it didn't help me and after re-compilation I have the same problem Goga _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
