[vdr] Big probs after installing second DVB-S adapter

[Mario Dilleni <mad@whiskytrinker.de>]

Hi ML!

I've got some real big problems with recording Stargate from Premiere SciFi 
since I installed my second DVB-adapter:
When converting to mpg-files with pvastrumento  I get lots of errors like this:
ALERT> Temporal structure wrong in GOP - dropping
and the resulting file is unwatchable (lots of mising pics, disturbing 
drop-outs in the sound etc.)
My config:
VDR 1.03 with Elchi-Aio
1st DVB is a Hauppauge 2.1( (The one with remote control)
2nd is a rev. 1.6 with defective TV-Out (Thats the reason why I put it in 
the VDR machine)

This is the log from the recording:
Oct  7 19:24:00 madrouter2 vdr[13699]: switching to channel 45
Oct  7 19:24:00 madrouter2 vdr[13699]: Title: 'Stargate Kommando SG-1'

Oct  7 20:10:01 madrouter2 vdr[13699]: timer 6 stop

The most strange effect is that sometimes the recordings are fine and 
sometimes they are not. If I see the errors , I start another recording of 
the same episode next morning, which always works fine...

I never had those defect recording when I still was on one DVB-card, but 2 
days after installing the second one, the problem occurred for the first time.
For testing I just changed the two cards and defined the rev2.1 (which is 
now the second one detected)via setup.conf as primary DVB, but I'llsee if 
this helps tomorrow evening
For now, just to be sure to get a working recording I'll uninstall the 
second card...

Any help appriciated...

Ciao,
