I just saw that after a while VDR starts giving me a huge amount of ring buffer overflow errors. Maybe that rings a bell ??

Hi out there,

maybe someone has a hint for me. I'm trying to get vdr run smoothly since a while now and I 'm close to giving up.

Watching TV works fine, but as soon as I start recording, timeshifting or just doing some harddisk activity, there are a lot of glitches in the video/audio. Power management/ACPI is switched off in the kernel, HDD uses UDMA5 mode, so everything should be fine ?? Of course all drivers seem to load without probs. At least there are none reported in dmesg.

My system:

VDR 1.3.16 /VDR1.3.23 latest CVS version of video4linux, dxr3, dvb drivers.. I also tried several releases/older versions. Kernel 2.6.11 / 2.6.9

AverTV 771 DVB-T dxr3 ECS K7SEM (SIS) / Asrock K7VM2 (VIA) mainboard Duron1600 CPU 512 MB Samsung 120G HDD

Any ideas anyone ??

Thanks.

Michael
