Tvh version: 3.4
OS: Slackware64 14.0
Kernel: 3.2.45
Tuner: TBS6280 DVB-T2
I started using tvheadend 3.4 recently and I have noticed that some recordings are randomly becoming corrupted. When the system is first powered on it records and streams live TV to XBMC fine. Then, after a random amount of time (anything between a few hours and a few days) the recordings begin to show errors in the status window and the recorded files are corrupted. When it's in this state it fails to stream live TV to XBMC - it just says buffering and then gives an error about connection.
Restarting the system resolves this temporarily but restarting tvheadend does not. The problem happens regardless of encoding used i.e. matroska or pass-through. I have also noticed that during the recordings that end up corrupted, tvh reports high numbers of errors as it is recording - around 2 per second.
I'm not sure if this helps, but I've also noticed that when the system is erroring, any new processes seem to have a very high number - often in the 20,000s, but when it's working OK new processes seem to be down around 2000-3000. It appears that when the recordings are going wrong, either tvh or the adapter is starting loads of new processes for some reason.
I have posted on the TBS and tvheadend forums but had no reply as yet.
I have attached sample images to illustrate. One is what the video looks like when I try to watch it, one is the tvheadend screen during recording - note the errors at the right hand side, and one is the file list after the recordings have finished - note the filesizes as the corrupted ones are considerably smaller than the uncorrupted ones.
Can anyone suggest whether this is my TV adapter or tvh please? Any help much appreciated.
