[linux-dvb] [Fwd: 2-card vdr problem]

-------- Original-Nachricht --------

Hi,

I am one of the users with the common video stream broken problem with
vdr. I used to have the dvb-kernel-driver compiled as kernel modules but
now I tried it as compiled in the kernel.
Normaly the first record after a cold boot triggerd a vdr-restart and a
driver reload because of a broken video stream on the second card.
After this restart normaly everything works well.

Now, with the in-kernel-driver a vdr-restart doesn't reloads the driver,
therefore vdr starts and starts and ...

I used this situation to make some snap-shoots:

1. cat /proc/interrups:

Every vdr restart increased the interrupt counter by 2 interrupts, not more.

Ther frontend seems to have a lock, but every recording part has a size
of 0 bytes.

I hope this helps a little bit.

BTW. I use the cvs from yesterday.
