I have just updated my system to use the latest drivers (3rd July 2003 CVS dvb-kernel) and have noticed that I am now getting some occasional pauses in the video stream when watching a program from a terestial source. The update was so that I could use one of the latest TDA10045 cards.
My previous drivers were from 2nd Feb CVS DVB which did not exhibit this problem. I am streaming using vls on an Athlon 1400 machine running Redhat 8.0 and kernel 2.4.18-014 and have also tried the drivers using kernel 2.4.21, again on Redhat 8.0 My video client is vlc on a Windows XP machine and I am streaming over a 100Mbps switched network. The symptoms are that the stream runs smoothly for a while - say a minute or so, then the video freezes for maybe a quarter to half a second then jumps and continues as normal. Sound appears to be unaffected. Vls is not reporting any errors when I get this freeze. The problem occurs with both my old Grundig 29504-401 card and my new TDA10045h/tdm1316L card. I have not noticed it on my NOVA-S card (STV0299/TSA5059/SL1935) Does anyone else see this problem?
