Anyone know if increasing the various buffers within VDR is enough to get rid of the buffer overflows? Is it a true solution or just band aid? There was a mail a while ago that mentioned values that could be used and where, but I've not tried that yet. But tonight I missed a South Park episode due to an overflow, so I could give the idea a shot. :)
I did increase the buffes in recorder.c to 8 MB
in transfer.c to 4 MB
in dvbplayer.c to 4 MB
Since then I never had a ringbuffer overflow.
Can someone point me towards some RTFM material that would explain what causes the buffer overflows, and why it is so fatal?
Sorry - no idea. I just increased size till I got no overflow-message. Regards Wolfgang -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to ecartis@linuxtv.org with "unsubscribe vdr" as subject.
