[linux-dvb] Re: dvbsnoop freezes system // driver issue?

[Rainer.Scherg@t-online.de (Rainer.scherg)]

Hi,

The freezes may be a dvb card driver issue, because dvbsnoop should
not be able to freeze your system. 

Please address your problem in the linuxtv maillist.

For a test, try 

dvbsnoop -s pidscan -pd 9  -f 16  

-f will limit the number of filters used for pidscan.
You may increase/decrease this value for testing.
If your system crashes on a higher value, your dvb driver
will not return an error code back to dvbsnoop, but crashes.
The driver should be fixed.

Strange, FE_CAN_CLEAN_SETUP is part of API3, isn't it?
