[vdr] Missing recorded Audio/Video frames on _stable_ 1.2.0.

[Marko Myllymäki <marko.myllymaki@sci.fi>]

Hi,

I seem to have problems with VDR-1.2.0, which seem to drop frames recording
from Nova-T by using a timer.
I am currently using it with DVB-5-24-03 from Klaus site and dxr3-plugin
0.1.9 + required patch.

Only log message i could find for the time period was:
Jun  4 19:38:00 ip212-226-145-105 vdr[3082]: timer 1 (5 1938-2040
'SubKultti: Star Trek') start
Jun  4 19:38:00 ip212-226-145-105 vdr[3082]: record
/video/SubKultti:_Star_Trek/2003-06-04.19:38.50.50.rec
Jun  4 20:40:00 ip212-226-145-105 vdr[3082]: timer 1 (5 1938-2040
'SubKultti: Star Trek') stop

Is this normal, that while vdr is on for couple of days it starts to act
funny and drop frames. With earlier versions i did have dxr3 hangs, which
did not effect recordings. Now I did not even had any problems with dxr3 at
all.

I did not have any other recordings at the time and the sky was clear. In
addition no one was using the box at the time when recording was made.

I know that this is a pain in the a.. to debug as it does not seem to occur
right after starting vdr so does any one else have problems with recording
after vdr has been on for couple of days?

Any suggestions to which versions to install, to have stable recordings?

PVAStrumento tells me following:
Syncing: Cutting audio.

This goes on for rest of the file, about 30% of the data is lost.
