[mythtv] Possible bug in PID filtering

[Alessandro Fiorino]

I think there is a problem in the new code for handling DVB fast
channel switch: I've got an USB Artec T1 and all was fine using 0.19.
After upgrading to 0.20 (I'm using ATrpms pagackes) when I try to
watch the TV I've got the lock, but I always see a black screen and
the mythbackend log fills up with this error

DVBRec(0) Error: Could not open demux device.
eno: Too many open files (24)

Incrementing the log level I see

2006-09-27 03:25:43.618 DVBRec(0): PID 0x1fff discontinuity detected
and so on

It says '17 PID filters open', but dmesg says

dvb-usb: found a 'DiBcom USB1.1 DVB-T reference design (MOD3000)' in warm state.
dvb-usb: will use the device's hardware PID filter (table count: 16).

So why it opens 17 PIDs if my hardware supports only 16?


Thank you in advance
