Hallo, On seldom occations I still (again) get the VDSB error :( This time I saw some cVideoRepacker infos in the Syslog that might help clear up some things !? See attached logfile. Unfortunatly I first saw this error yesterday evening and already had deleted the recording (if that would be of any use). System : Suse 9.1 Vanilla Kernel 2.6.11.7 2 x DVB-s (rev. 1.6-4mb + 1.3) vdr-1.3.29 with several patches and several plugins. dvb-kernel-20050826 dvb-kernel-20050324 fw-261e to 2620 Here a grep "video data stream broken" on all syslogs of this year - you see it did not happen between February and June (added the vdr version used at that time) : Jan 27 06:58:55 vdr vdr[12622]: ERROR: video data stream broken vdr-1.3.17 or 18 Jan 27 06:59:42 vdr vdr[14387]: ERROR: video data stream broken Jan 29 00:13:42 vdr vdr[22619]: ERROR: video data stream broken Feb 26 21:55:44 vdr vdr[27103]: ERROR: video data stream broken vdr-1.3.20 or 21 Jun 3 22:02:13 vdr vdr[20782]: ERROR: video data stream broken vdr-1.3.25 (since 2. jun) Jul 11 18:54:14 vdr vdr[8022]: ERROR: video data stream broken Jul 22 10:28:31 vdr vdr[27589]: ERROR: video data stream broken vdr-1.3.27 Jul 29 19:43:57 vdr vdr[25319]: ERROR: video data stream broken Jul 29 19:51:36 vdr vdr[5760]: ERROR: video data stream broken Aug 4 18:43:32 vdr vdr[16205]: ERROR: video data stream broken Aug 8 22:30:23 vdr vdr[27564]: ERROR: video data stream broken Aug 8 22:30:54 vdr vdr[27564]: ERROR: video data stream broken Aug 8 22:31:25 vdr vdr[27564]: ERROR: video data stream broken Aug 10 00:31:38 vdr vdr[31800]: ERROR: video data stream broken Aug 10 00:32:09 vdr vdr[31800]: ERROR: video data stream broken Aug 21 20:17:09 vdr vdr[9679]: ERROR: video data stream broken vdr-1.3.29 Aug 28 00:44:23 vdr vdr[31163]: ERROR: video data stream broken vdr-1.3.30 Sep 7 18:43:36 vdr vdr[18036]: ERROR: video data stream broken vdr-1.3.29 And I did some research ;) Kernel used : 2.6.10-rc1 since 15. Dec. 2004 2.6.10 (final) since 2. feb 2.6.11.8 since 8. May. Firmware used : 261c(+261d shortly) - used since vdr-1.3.17 261d - used since vdr-1.3.19 261e-1.4 - Around 31. may I (togehter with vdr-1.3.24) started using the New Firmware (1.4 !? IIRC the first of the 261e - from 26. may) that no longer needed FW_NEEDS_BUFFER_RESERVE_FOR_AC3. 261f - might be that I tried that since 22. august - can't say for sure. 2620 - since 29. Aug. - with vdr-1.3.30 + 29 Here a list of the DVD drivers I used, I allways started using them on the Day that I downloaded them : Up till vdr-1.3.17 - dvb-kernel-20041221 vdr-1.3.19 - dvb-kernel-20050118 vdr-1.3.23 - dvb-cvs-kernel-20050324) vdr-1.3.25 - dvb-kernel-20050617 vdr-1.3.27 (20. June) - back to dvb-kernel-20050324 (more stable) vdr-1.3.29 - dvb-kernel-20050826 (together with FW 2620) So if I see this right it comes down to that it probably is caused by the New Firmware or maybe something that was changed in VDR >= 1.3.25 ?
