[vdr] VDR 1.3.17 hangs while using cut_in_place over NFS mounted /video

[Philippe Gramoullé <philippe.gramoulle@mmania.com>]

 Hello,

I'm using VDR 1.3.17 + thread safe patches + mp3,mplayer,streamdev plugins , one 1.3 FF card, recent
CVS checkout of dvb-kernel, 2.6.10-rc3-bk3 kernel on a Debian Sid and so far, everything's fine.

my /video directory is over NFS, and recently i wanted to use the cut_in_place program
(http://www.iki.fi/hyvatti/dvb/ ) to do massive editing on many recordings i've made.

I made several small tests and everything was looking good, so i tried
a cut over a longer recodring ( which spans over at least 3 00x.vdr files)
and after several minutes, cut_in_place finishes but VDR still hangs with the blue status bar
"   cut in place...   " at the bottom of the screen.

Edited recording looks fine, both through VDR and mplayer, so i wanted to know what i might do to start debugging this.

So far, i have 4 VDR threads running:

-one is looking for /video/.update ( main loop i guess)
-one is doing polls and getppid
-one is doing :

poll(0xbf7fea58, 0, 1000
)              = 0
 over and over again

-the last which seems to be stuck in:

select(1024, [8], NULL, NULL, NULL

General tips/advices/links on how to debug VDR problems would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Philippe
