Sometimes I get really screwed up recordings from my dvb-t tuner. The recordings are virtually unwatchable. The weird part is that the sound is usually ok. It's the image that is studdering really bad. Maybe something like 1 frame per second, like still images going by. But the sound is ok, like I said. GBPVR is logging "checking signal status on..." If it were a signal issue, would gbpvr indicate that in the logs?
From recordingservice.exe.log for one of those bad recordings:
This is the corresponding part in recordingservice-native log:
I tried switching to dvr-ms mux, but that made no difference. I still get these recordings from time to time. Usually it's the entire recording that goes bad, or the entire recording is just fine. Occasionally, however, it goes bad somewhere in the middle of it. I have never seen one being bad in the beginning, and then becoming good in the end.
Any ideas? By the way, I was not using the computer for anything else at the moment, and I don't think it was doing anything special. But I'm not sure.
