>From the symptoms you describe it seems very likely that your system has a bottleneck between VDR and the data. Is your VDR reading from local disks or via NFS? Are other things running on your machine that could make your disks busy? Do you have DMA enabled on your disks? BTW: I am also experiencing the same problems every now and then. I have S.M.A.R.T. enabled on all my disks and I am wondering if these "hickups" come from automatic self diagnostics? Maybe larger replay buffers in VDR would help? I am _assuming_ that this line #define PLAYERBUFSIZE MEGABYTE(1) in dvbplayer.c defines the buffer size? Klaus, can you confirm this? Kartsa, since the problem occurs quite often in your setup: Could you try to change the above line to #define PLAYERBUFSIZE MEGABYTE(64) and let us know if the problem still occurs? Thanks, Carsten. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
