Probleme

Don't know if something changed in the driver in kernel 2.6, but I couldn't get the program to work even after patching. It seems that the default buffer size is too small for everything to work smoothly. What solved my problem was adding the following lines at the beginning of SetFiltSection, right after the line struct dmx_sct_filter_params sctFilterParams;

        if (ioctl(fd, DMX_SET_BUFFER_SIZE, 10*188*1024)<0) {
          perror("DMX SET BUFFER SIZE");
          exit(0);
        }

I'm puzzled because 10*188*1024 should be the default buffer size, but before the modification it didn't work, now it does so....

Wer trotzdem noch Probleme hat, EPG-Informationen zu empfangen, kann versuchen das Modul 'dvb-core' mit der Option 'dvb_shutdown_timeout=0' zu laden. Dadurch soll verhindert werden, dass die Karte nach kurzer Zeit das Signal verliert.
