This is something I've seen quite a bit and I've finally started to investigate: if I pause playback of a recording for a long time (i.e. pause playback to go and do something quick and end up getting distracted...) when I start playback again, vdr dies. The watchdog timer expires and it tries to restart but it ends up with one process which won't die (have yet to work out which thread this is, though).
Not sure if this is a vdr or softdevice problem but seeing the references to libavcodec I'd be inclined to think softdevice.
I started playback and then paused it for about 2 h or so and then pressed "play" again. Playback didn't restart. Trying to change channel then caused the timoeut (or maybe it would have done it anyway). (All of this was done over shh with SVDRP but this looks like it's doing what I see 'in real life'.
Hi,
I don´t use softdevice, but I can report that my vdr survives pausing for a long time although i tend to avoid that. So I´d think something in the 'softdevice toolchain' would be causing this.
