Hello all!
Like some other users I experience channel freezes sporadically since 1.3.29. Some have this since 1.3.28 or even 1.3.24. For me it happened looking WDR, others reported the same (on vdr-portal.de) with Pro7/Sat1/NDR. I experienced this behaviour on a small Epia ME6000 with a TT rev. 1.6 and kernel 2.6.13-rc6, but the problem doesn't seem to be related to drivers nor firmware (that's the consensus on vdr-portal.de).
The picture hangs, but after some time it starts playing again. You can change to other channels no problem (and of course they work).
I don't know about messages in the log because I ran vdr with -l0 at the time (sorry ;-)). Reception was normal, no rain but some clouds (but we had this kind of weather before and it didn't happen).
Someone suggested to remove #define TEST_cVideoRepacker in remux.c, but apparently this didn't help.
Thanks
Sebastian
Hi,

I expierenced exactly the same problems on one of my VDR boxes, since I updated to 1.3.28. Both machines are almost identical (in hard- and software), but the problem occurs only on one of them. One difference between them: the hanging system uses AC3 sound via J2. Another strange coincidence: I've only seen this hang on a channel providing AC3 sound (ZDF, RTL, Pro7 so far). The problem repeats every few minutes, the following log entry seems to be written exactly in the second of the freeze:
Aug 18 21:51:16 vdrclient1 vdr[5761]: buffer stats: 0 (0%) used

Hi!
Interesting. But I don't think it's audio related, be it ac3 or spdif, because it happened on WDR and NDR, too. But maybe it's related to the message in your syslog.
Thanks
