Hi list, After updating to 1.3.28 yesterday, I'm seeing strange VDR hangs today. Same machine, same plugins and patches worked flawlessly on 1.3.27 before. There were recordings running, and I was going through menus that time, when VDR suddenly did not respond to key presses any more. VDR died because of watchdog, but required an additional kill -9 to be stopped and re-started. As another hint, that time VDR was running with >50% CPU load. Next time this happens, I hope I can do some more analysis. Any one else having problems? _____________________________ Incident 1: One recording running on secondary device. 22:18:52 vdr[948]: deleting timer 16 (6 2010-2225 'Filme~Enigma - Das Geheimnis') 22:18:59 vdr[948]: switching to channel 8 22:20:40 vdr[1354]: connect from 192.168.73.1, port 2075 - accepted 22:20:43 vdr[948]: PANIC: watchdog timer expired - exiting! 22:22:36 vdr[1526]: VDR version 1.3.28 started The 'connect' is my attempt to connect via control-plugin, but control-plugin was frozen same as the remote. The recording continued (file time) until 22:22:26. Incident 2: Two recordings running, one on primary, one on secondary. Transfer mode streams another channel from secondary to primary device. 23:12:46 vdr[1526]: switching to channel 173 23:12:51 vdr[1526]: switching to channel 7 23:12:52 vdr[1657]: cDolbyRepacker: skipped 576 bytes to sync on next AC3 frame 23:14:25 vdr[1526]: PANIC: watchdog timer expired - exiting! 23:17:17 vdr[1714]: VDR version 1.3.28 started The recordings continued until 23:17:03 and 23:17:12.
