[vdr] vdr-1.3.28: hangs while recording?

[Udo Richter]

Hi list,

After updating to 1.3.28 yesterday, I'm seeing strange VDR hangs today. 
Same machine, same plugins and patches worked flawlessly on 1.3.27 before.

There were recordings running, and I was going through menus that time, 
when VDR suddenly did not respond to key presses any more. VDR died 
because of watchdog, but required an additional kill -9 to be stopped 
and re-started. As another hint, that time VDR was running with >50% CPU 
load.

Next time this happens, I hope I can do some more analysis.

Any one else having problems?

Incident 1:
One recording running on secondary device.
22:18:52 vdr[948]: deleting timer 16 (6 2010-2225 'Filme~Enigma - Das 
Geheimnis')

22:18:59 vdr[948]: switching to channel 8
22:20:40 vdr[1354]: connect from 192.168.73.1, port 2075 - accepted
22:20:43 vdr[948]: PANIC: watchdog timer expired - exiting!
22:22:36 vdr[1526]: VDR version 1.3.28 started

The 'connect' is my attempt to connect via control-plugin, but 
control-plugin was frozen same as the remote.
The recording continued (file time) until 22:22:26.


Incident 2:
Two recordings running, one on primary, one on secondary. Transfer mode 
streams another channel from secondary to primary device.

23:12:46 vdr[1526]: switching to channel 173
23:12:51 vdr[1526]: switching to channel 7
23:12:52 vdr[1657]: cDolbyRepacker: skipped 576 bytes to sync on next 
AC3 frame
23:14:25 vdr[1526]: PANIC: watchdog timer expired - exiting!
23:17:17 vdr[1714]: VDR version 1.3.28 started

The recordings continued until 23:17:03 and 23:17:12.

Cheers,

Udo
