Sometimes when vdr starts there's no picture, if I kill vdr and let daemontools restart it then there's always a picture the second time. Similarly if vdr starts for a timer recording, after a few seconds it will do an emergency exit because it is receiving no data, then it will be fine. In a previous setup I used to run dvbtune just before starting vdr and things would be fine.
I'm using WinTV Nova-t PCI DVB-T budget card with linuxtv-dvb-1.1.0 driver on Linux 2.4.24.
If I run vdr (1.3.6) as the first application after the reboot, I don't get any signal.. mplayer doesn't work either after this. mplayer complains that dvb streaming read fails.
But, If I run mplayer as the first application after the reboot, it works well. After running mplayer, vdr works too. And mplayer works after vdr too in this case :)
So, If I run vdr before mplayer, it somehow breaks the driver.. I guess.
Any ideas? There's no errors in the logs. Reloading the drivers doesn't
help.
If you run vdr before mplayer, only solution is to reboot to get the dvb
card working again.. weird :)
This sounds interesting. What frontend?
The only thing I can imagine is that vdr calls some ioctl before the frontend is fully initialized (the driver should prevent this, of course), and then the frontend crashes and needs to be power-cycled.
Can anyone else reproduce this?
