I would understand it if PVRDecoder would not be able to decode recordings when the buffer size is larger than a certain limit. But it usually does, and it goes fast too. The problem I experience occurs when I try to start the next decoding after the first decoding or when I do a batch decoding. The first decoding usually works correctly, even with high buffer sizes.Lordbyte wrote:I do believe sectroyer knows what he is talking about.
You are using a value that leave your TV unstable. Period.
You may discontinue the usage of the PVRDecoder, live with it as it is, or you may
go do the experiments that is needed with the decoderplugin in its current form and shape.
Start with a value of .. say .. 40 - as sectroyer mentioned ... And did you try 10, as sectroyer asks ?
It is quite possible that this problem only occurs on some TV models. I don't know exactly what PVRDecoder does after a decoding and before a new decoding is started, but as much as possible of the data from the previous decoding should be erased before a new decoding is initiated. The next decoding should be started as cleanly as the first decoding.
I can do more tests with lower buffer sizes. If I am right, the problem should occur even with very low buffer sizes. The problem is that I may not have time enough to do the tests. I must find a time slot when I am at home and don't sleep and there are no programs worth recording for a few hours. I can of course start testing with very short recordings, but I am not sure if the problem is guaranteed to show up in that case.
