HI All This issue had been long time around, from newstruct till the recent DVB source sync's. And since it's still not fixed I thought maybe people don't know about it and it would be good to report it:
During multicast reception everything works or seems fine for some time,.. few minutes to few hours and then... Then machine crashes. Screen stays frozen, machine doesn't respond to network pings, Only two keyboard LEDs are simultaneously blinking: caps lock and scroll lock... The reset is only choice, but nothing about the crash is ever written in logs. The setup is: Satelco multimedia karte (technotrend budget clone), tuned to Astra TP111 frequency = 12604 MHz H, symbolrate 22000000 that's free sat@once casablanca multicast transmission, PID 768. Incoming multicast traffic bandwidth is about 4Mbit. To decode multicast transmission, I'm running casablanca client on vmware at the same machine. I'm doing packed bridging from the linux dvb interface to the vmware's vmnet0: /usr/local/bin/vmnet-bridge -d /var/run/vmnet-bridge-0.pid /dev/vmnet0 dvb1_0 This works and casablanca correctly receives the webcasting traffic. Only problem are the crashes. I will try other (slower) technotrend DVB-S rel 1.3 card in case crashes were just satelco/budget related...
