Well, the question is, what happens between 21:32:04 and 21:32:35? > I don't have a good DTV signal and so the data stream will have errors in > it (though the picture is still watchable). Could this be the problem? At the moment it looks like that. Would you please add the following debug lines (marked with <=====) to remux.c and send the logfile ('s tail) when it happens again? static int Put(.....) { esyslog(">>>>> cRepacker::Put(%d)", Count); // <============ int n = ResultBuffer->Put(Data, Count); if (n != Count) esyslog(.....); esyslog("<<<<< cRepacker::Put"); // <============ return n; } . . . void cVideoRepacker::Repack(.....) { esyslog(">>>>> cVideoRepacker::Repack(%d)", Count); // <============ // synchronisation is detected some bytes after frame start. const int SkippedBytesLimit = 4; // reset local scanner localStart = -1; . . . // report that syncing dropped some bytes if (skippedBytes > SkippedBytesLimit) { esyslog(.....); skippedBytes = SkippedBytesLimit; } esyslog("<<<<< cVideoRepacker::Repack()"); // <============ } Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform.
