VDR still defaults to start recordings three minutes before scheduled time, right? I wouldn't want to rely my recordings on a clock that is that bad.
That's why I have set it to start ten minutes earlier :)
The worst I had was on a 286, running 40s off per day. Good thing that this is over. Today, I would count one or two minutes per month as worst acceptable.
I agree that the clock is bad, but one of the reasons I started to use VDR was because I had an extra old PC that could be put into use this way. If I have to start buying a lot of new stuff, then I might as well get a STB and complain and demand corrections when it doesn't work. Now I just complain :)
May 31 20:23:38 localhost vdr: [3413] System Time = Thu May 31 20:23:38 2007 (1180632218) May 31 20:23:38 localhost vdr: [3413] Local Time = Thu May 31 20:19:37 2007 (1180631977) May 31 20:21:01 localhost vdr: [3405] PANIC: watchdog timer expired - exiting!
The clock was set to 20:19:37, and the watchdog fires at 20:21:01 - 84 seconds later. There must be something different causing the watchdog to expire.
OK, this is what I asked in the first mail: "is it the watchdog causing the PANIC?"
And apparently it isn't the watchdog, but the log didn't show anything else that was causing it.
I'll be going away for a month now but when I get back I'll see if I can reproduce the PANIC somehow, just to figure out what is happening.
