Hi Listies :)
During this week I discovered a strange behaviour:
The VDR seems to "freeze" for a few seconds (1-3) from time to time,
sometimes freezes for a fraction of a second, works for a second and
then again freezes for 1-3 seconds...
I noticed this behaviour first while I was watching a DVD, so I assumed
it has something to do with the DVD part. But then the same behaviour
appeared during MPlaying divX'es and also mp3 playbacks... Even on
fast-forwards and rewindings the VDR freezes from time to time...
I digged somewhat deeper into this and recognized, that on these
"freezers" the vdr task "simply" grabs all CPU time it can get.
The syslog doesn't say anything at these times...
So what could this be ? Needless to say that this behaviour is **very**
annoying and I hope to be able to fix this soon...
There are no unecessary tasks running on my VDR machine (1.2 GHz Duron):
