Since upgrading to VDR-1.7.4 I have experienced some instability when recording to an NTFS partition.
The recording itself seems to proceed OK, but the recorded programs will generally only play for a few seconds before freezing. Pausing live video and then resuming play will also trigger the problem. Subsequently rewinding a recording that has been so paused will only rewind to the pause point, not the beginning of the recording.
All works well when using vdr-1.7.2 to record on the same system to the same partition, and when I placed my recording directory on a reiserfs partition all worked well too. So it appears to be
a problem recording on NTFS partitions introduced with the switch to .ts file recording.
Does it make a difference if you comment out the line
#define USE_FADVISE
in VDR/tools.c?
