I've recorded/watched a lot of tv in the last couple days and so far I haven't noticed any problems with this patch. I am currently using v3 (the patch I attached to my previous post) with vdr-1.5.2.
Do you know how large the buffers usually grow? If you haven't reduced vdrs log level (-l) this info should be somewhere in /var/log/ and you can take a look at the buffer usage w/ eg:
$ grep vdr /var/log/* | grep 'ring buffer' | less
Did any overflows happen (you can search for 'overflow' in the output of above commands to find them)?
I've now checked my vdr logs here (starting ~ a week ago) and not a single buffer overflowed. I would have expected a few problems, but it looks like the tuning worked. (However that vdr has all data moving threads running at real time priority and this may have helped too.)
Thanks,
