Hi
I recently upgraded to 0.17 from 0.16
the frontend freezes for a few seconds at the end of each recording, just before it returns to the list of recordings
ususally it prints "Waited 2 seconds for data to become available, waiting again..." into the terminal
when a recording has a long commercial at the end
when it gets to the last commercial instead of going back to the menu,
like 0.16 did, -the video freezes
-the hard drive light goes crazy, as if it is seeking to the end of the file.
-once the hdd light goes off it goes back to the menu
This sometimes takes 20-30 seconds, and the video is frozen at this time
nothing is printed in the logs until it gets to the end and then "Waited 2 seconds for data to become available, waiting again..." is printed once or twice before it exits to the list of recordings
this is bad enough but here's the real bug that is affecting me:
if i press "esc" or "pause" while the video is frozen then the frontend hangs and needs to be killed the terminal is full of 2005-02-13 06:17:33.323 Waited too long for decoder to pause 2005-02-13 06:17:34.333 Waited too long for decoder to pause 2005-02-13 06:17:35.344 Waited too long for decoder to pause 2005-02-13 06:17:36.353 Waited too long for decoder to pause 2005-02-13 06:17:37.363 Waited too long for decoder to pause
if i press some other buttons like "9" the frontend segfaults
I was thinking that this would normally not be a problem since in 0.16 the video did not use to freeze like this for anywhere from 2-30 seconds at the end of a recording so there was no opportunity to hit any buttons
Any idea why the video is freezing like this
and why the frontend hangs or crashes when a button is pressed during one of those freezes?
ps I'll post a backtrace as soon as i recompile with debugging symbols
pps
I run Mandrake 10.0 with a 2.4.25 kernel , OSS sound, two PVR250 cards
commercials are set to autoskip i have tried both the new libmpeg2 qand theold way of playback
manually exiting out of the recording works fine
-manually created cutlists only freeze for a few seconds at the end instead of 20 seconds or so
-this happens with shows that were recorded and commercial flagged with 0.16 as well, so it's strictly a playback issue
I'm seeing this as well.
