I've seen the EOF problem also. I got the impression that it is speed related, i.e. if there is heavy load on the machine EOF occurs more frequently. Nevertheless if you pipe the stream to a file and then replay, there are no problems. Maybe the driver replays values <0 through /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 (don't know if this is possible)?

Looks like a
difficult one.
what EOF? can you explain please?
End Of File you know. The stream from /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 sometimes suddently stops when playing with mplayer /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 or with dd if=/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 | mplayer - . These "stops" have gotten rare on my system. Iv had days when this has happened like every minute or so. Im thinking this is some very difficult bug to find as i enabled most(level 1) debugging at skystar2.c and got nothing. debug level 2 caused some lockups so i havent tried that again... Iv also heard rumors that this might have something to do with LBNs getting turned of(power saving) but they still keep appearing even though i disabled all power off functionality, set_tuner_polarity with polarity=0, LNB power off. Im thinking this might be a "general" coding bug. DMA status gets changed when this happens i think.
I also remember having some problems when unloading relevant dvb modules when they are in use. Cant unload it at all again :-/ This is probably because skystar2.c(or something else) is not properly handling module usage count(i know some kernel coding :) ). Thats pretty much all bugs iv seen. Keep up the good work! I will be trying to debug it if I get EOF's again. Aapo Tahkola
