[vdr] What's wrong?

[Wolfgang Goeller <wgoeller@heraklit.ch>]

Hello

Perhaps some kind soul knows how to fix this errors:

Jan 29 20:59:01 antiphon vdr[961]: receiver thread started on device 2
(pid=961)
Jan 29 21:05:49 antiphon vdr[960]: ERROR: unknown picture type '4'
Jan 29 21:07:12 antiphon vdr[960]: ERROR: unknown picture type '4'
Jan 29 21:23:00 antiphon vdr[960]: ERROR: unknown picture type '4'
Jan 29 21:23:37 antiphon vdr[960]: ERROR: unknown picture type '4'
Jan 29 21:29:14 antiphon vdr[960]: ERROR: unknown picture type '4'
Jan 29 21:32:18 antiphon vdr[960]: ERROR: unknown picture type '4'
Jan 29 21:33:14 antiphon vdr[960]: ERROR: unknown picture type '4'

sometimes I get: unknown picture type '5' or even '6'

These are the other error-messages that I get:
 ERROR: not sync'ed to TS packet on device 3
 ERROR: skipped 159 bytes to sync on TS packet on device 3
 ERROR: not sync'ed to TS packet on device 3
 ERROR: skipped 29 bytes to sync on TS packet on device 3

At the end of a recording with above mentioned Errors I get
something like:

 cTS2PES got 77 TS errors, 611 TS continuity errors
 cTS2PES got 3 TS errors, 269 TS continuity errors

My hardware: Athlon 1700+ Mobo with 256 MB Ram.
             1 Hauppauge Nova
             1 Hauppauge Nova CI
             1 Hauppauge Nexus
               ATI Radeon 128
               Realtek-Network-card
               Promise Controller

Sound on board is disabled

Each SAT-card has it's own IRQ (none shared)
The system-load during recording is mostly ver low

Recording is done to a soft-raid-array (raid0)
Disks are tuned with hdparm and show no problems.
I used the array before for mjpeg-recording with much
higher data-streams.

Software: vdr 1.1.22
          dvb linux-dvb.2003-01-08-ci-ll.tar.bz2

The antenna is ok - If I do a parallel record with a
marvel-tv-card connected to a HW-Settop-box I get nor
error and no distorted pictures.

Note: Sometimes recording works over a period of over two
hours on two cards in parallel without any error.

If it helps: If the recording is bad I have spikes in
             the sound-file. A very high toneburst.
             On a good record I have also some spikes
             but with very low intensity.

regards
Wolfgang
