With replaying yes, definitely - but i had ARM crashes also with a signal connected, with all versions of drivers. So if the 1.3 cards have a problem it's always there, just with different propability of appearance. > > Has someone already made such tests? > > Yes, not as thoroughly but I remember I replayed the same samples of > video-only data in a loop for a couple of hours and made it crash with > no signal attached to the FF-card.

That lease 3 possibilties: 1. the data are modified by the driver before sent to the hardware (MPEG->AVPES?) maybe that fails under rare conditions 2. the firware fails under rare conditions 3. it is a hardware problem "Optically" the problem appears as following: The error appears in case of playback if the playmode is changed by vdr, e.g. jumping between scenes, slow-forwared, pause etc. The video and audio disappear and instead green stripes are painted mostly in the upper part, sometimes smaller versions/parts of the video appear as a stillframe (upper left), often a small audio sample is played in an endless loop - which isn't funny if it is the sound of an explosion ;-) Then the firmware gets reloaded several times, but that doesn't help at all, if the watchdog-timer of vdr fires my scripts reload the driver completly and _that_ helps. so something initialised at a complete driver reload get's overwritten in firmware or driver. That should close up the range where the problem lays a lot. Guido -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
