[vdr] vdr 1.7.0 + reelbox plugin preoblem

[Josce]

 Could you define mosaic? Would you be able to post a picture of some kind?
 To be honost, I haven't updated the hdplayer3 stuff for some while now.
 So it could be related to a new update in the svn in the reelbox 
 plugin/hdplayer3.

I guess the correct term would be artifacts? 
I can see the video but here and there across the screen are small boxes. 

I also get in my log file:
video vdr: [2037] buffer usage: 100% (tid=2036)
video vdr: [2037] ERROR: 1181 ring buffer overflows (222017 bytes dropped)

The harddisk has DMA on.
To me it seems that the eHD can't get the stream quickly enough.

When I run lspci -b I get 3 devices sharing with IRQ 5:

What is the CPU load during that time? The host CPU transfers the data into
the shared memory on the card, so anything below 80-90% load indicates
another problem.

 When I run lspci -b I get 3 devices sharing with IRQ 5:

The card does not use the IRQ, so that is not relevant.
