Hi,

Could you please check the TS continuity with dvbsnoop when using 
streamdev or xineliboutput over the network? If not please make a 
network recording (~ 5 minutes) for both case.

1) Streamdev
wget -q -O - http://<vdr ip>:3000/TS/<channel> > streamdev.ts

2) Xineliboutput (xineliboutput will use the current channel)
wget -q -O - http://<vdr ip>:37890/ > xineliboutput.ts

If you want to use dvbsnoop pipe the output instead of redirecting to 
file with:

<wget cmd> | dvbsnoop -nph -s ts -tssubdecode -if -

After it is a matter of analysing.

Rgds,

Alex
