Well, I can't quote a standard here, but I would say that plain common sense dictates that the PIDs should be set correctly (including language codes) _before_ a broadcast starts. After all, they're not likely to change right in the middle of a movie, are
they?
I wouldn't expect them to change in the middle of a movie, but some documentaries may have interviews and actual film footage in different languages. I haven't yet recorded any that actually change languages in the middle of a show, but just wondering if there is a limit what you can and what you cannot change...
I sent a question about this to Digita (the company responsible for digitv-stuff in Finland) info address two weeks ago, but no response so far. They did forward it to "Digita Antenni-info" (antenna info), so I'm not holding my breath...
When PMT_SCAN_TIMEOUT is set to the default 10 seconds there is a delay between event change and a PID change, as Lauri Tischler noticed.
I changed the PMT_SCAN_TIMEOUT to 1. Now the delay is gone, and event change and possible PID change happen at the same second (based on syslog). My next recording from that broadcaster is only next Saturday (that I know of having a gap every time), but based on the syslog now and before I guess this would help.
Thanks for the tip, I'll try that too! BTW, I get the gap during every YLE language change (IIRC), even during live-tv... so at least testing is simple :-)
