[linux-dvb] Bug in Driver or VDR or my Setup ?!?!

[Stefan.Hagendorn@lindy.cc]

Hi all,

after several hours of debugging with Klaus (thanks again for your efforts)
we were not able to solve my Problem !
Now my last hope is that someone else discovered the same Problem and maybe
was able to solve it ... now some History:

The starting point is the DVB.071 patched with the OSD patch from VDR.068
and running VDR.068.
Everything works fine !!!

Because I need a second Video output and the availability of a SVHS Output
I changed the output to SVHS and composite by adding the Line
"VidMode(dvb, 2)" in the init frontend section of the dvb.c and the
Problems began.

- I get Kernelerrors "Record buffer full" no matter if I load VDR or not
- After loading VDR and replaying a recorded Stream the "Record buffer
full" Errors are gone
- Sometimes at Night Time the driver gets "Outcommand Errors"
- Sometimes the Driver didn't respond anymore.

OK I tried the DVB.080 (the downloadable Version and the latest CVS
Version) The Driver works fine with SVHS Output but:

- tuxzap works to switch channels but I can't watch encrypted channels.

- replaying of AV_PES Data isn't possible (cat foo.pes > /dev/video) On the
first try the screen goes black and the log is reporting "dvb: Playing
AV_PES" .. on the second try the screen don't go black but the log report
the replay again

- record (cat /dev/video > foo.foo) doesn't work either ... it just
produced 0-byte Files

- When I start VDR the following happens:
--- it crashes after switching to the first channel (looks like it crashes
immediately before displaying the EIT information)
--- and the driver resets but don't complete the init .. (the convergence
logo is displayed - disappears but the TV remains black)
LOG:
commandrequest error
dvb: ARM RESET

- When I compile VDR with the DEBUG_OSD=1 parameter (used to display the
OSD via NCURSE instead of the real OSD) the following happens:
--- it runs but does not display EIT Information
--- watching encrypted channels isn't possible too
--- replaying isn't possible


well I don't think that the driver nor vdr is full of bugs ... there must
be something I made wrong.
I hope somebody can gimme a hint where I should check my box.
I need the second output because SVHS is used for TV and the composite goes
to a RF Transmitter enabling me watching sat in my bedroom .. multiplexing
the composite signal doesn't work for me the picture gets too much
saturation after multiplexing.

Please help me ... :-)

Greetings
Stefan
