Hi: I've been trying to find out why one of the tuners in my
af9015-based dvb stick produces good recordings that die unexpectedly.
I ran "mythbackend -v none,record" and while it was making a test
recording got a blizzard of messages of the form
"2010-10-24 21:36:08.229 DVBRec(9:/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0): PID
0x259 discontinuity detected"
(where 9 is the cardid) about twice a second before the recording died.
Later, however, when the system was recording several programmes, I
found that some of the virtual tuners were each generating their own
variants of this message at much the same rate, and their recordings did
_not_ fail.
In these cased the PID quoted is identified by ffmpeg as
Subtitle: dvbsub, and by Project-X as
Subpict.:
PID: 0x259(#5)(eng_0x10_p1_a1 ) or similar.
So it seems that these messages may not be a clue to my original
problem, but they do get in the way of efforts to solve it. Do they
mean anything, and once I have seen them can I turn off their reporting
without stopping and restarting the backend?
Google found a very recent reference to this message and some from four
years ago. I'm running 0.23-fixes in the UK.
