Hi!
About once a week I get this errors in syslog:
Feb 25 20:01:19 server vdr[20828]: ERROR: unknown picture type '6' Feb 25 20:01:20 server vdr[20828]: ERROR: unknown picture type '7' Feb 25 20:01:21 server vdr[20828]: ERROR: unknown picture type '4' Feb 25 20:01:22 server vdr[20828]: ERROR: unknown picture type '7' Feb 25 20:01:23 server vdr[20828]: ERROR: unknown picture type '7' Feb 25 20:01:39 server vdr[20828]: ERROR: unknown picture type '5' Feb 25 20:01:42 server vdr[20828]: ERROR: unknown picture type '4' Feb 25 20:01:51 server vdr[20828]: ERROR: unknown picture type '7' Feb 25 20:01:52 server vdr[20828]: ERROR: unknown picture type '6' Feb 25 20:02:09 server last message repeated 3 times ...
The recordings during this errors are "junk". I can't view this recordings. After stopping VDR and unloading the dvb-drivers the errors are gone.
I searched with Google for this problem and found only the workaround to restart (automatically) VDR when this happens. Some folks also wrote that a bad singal from satellite could be the reason, but the femon-plugin shows this values: STR: 67% SNR: 88% BER: 0 UNC: 0 Are this bad values? (I don't think so.)
What is the reason for the "unknown picture type"?
I use Kernel 2.6.10, the DVB-drivers which come with 2.6.10 and VDR 1.2.26 on Gentoo-Linux with two FF Hauppauge Nexus-S-cards (rev2.1).
