Hi all,
since I upgraded to 1.1.25 and the pre2 drivers, I have observed for
mulitple times that OSD colors just vanish at some time. I read a thread
about that (beginning of March) but couldn't find hints or causes.
Anybody else observing that? I'm running plain vanilla vdr with only the
mp3 plugin (which I wouldn't consider being the cause).
Can you *definitely* rule that out?
Does it also happen if you don't use that plugin?
I can confirm that it also happens without any plugin and only my PID
finder patch applied. The OSD colors get messed up after some time and
the firmware is likely to crash shortly afterwards.
It appears as if filters set to the PAT and PMT pid's/sections will
increase the likelyhood of incuring the OSD color problem.
I experimented with syncing OSD activity to the demux devices by adding
the av7110->demux mutex to the OSD ioctl call path in the driver. It
appears as if the color problem is harder to reproduce then, but it will
still occure after some time.
Judging from other people's reports, it would appear as if those
problems do not occure on all cards. I have talked to several people
that could not reproduce these problems with the RC2 driver.
I can confirm this also. As higher the section filter load is, as higher is
the "chance" to vanish the OSD.
The older ci-cam firmware is more stable with higher load section filter,
but with this it happend also...
With the newest CVS it is possible to do section filtering via
software-filter, i have tested this yesterday, and this *is* much more
realiable then hardware section filtering at the moment.
