It seems that 648k was the largest size ever used for a buffer, which is less than 1/3 of the full size (2M for Result,Transfer and TS). The Recorder buffer was typically at 5% of its max size, ie 300k instead of 5M. No overflows w/ v3 of the patch (two with the previous version, which was starting out with just 128k). I get a lot worse results here (buffers grow to a few M), but that's probably because the vdr box is not a dedicated one, but also handles quite a few other services; IO stalls are not uncommon and several simultaneous recordings are sometimes done while streaming via streamdev to another vdr. Still, no overflows. artur _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
