2 patches for dvb-apps gnutv
PATCH 1/1 2 patches for dvb-apps gnutv
Hi,
I would like to repost 2 patches for gnutv, part of dvb-apps.
http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-July/027177.html
They both try to make gnutv more robust when the system/destination file system are temporary slow.
1) http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-July/027176.html
Once the dvb ringbuffer overflows, it is pointless to stop gnutv. I think it should continue and get the rest of the signal.
What has been lost has been lost, let's not loose the future stream
2) http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-July/027177.html
Allow to set a bigger (than default = 2MB) dvb ringbuffer to cope with temporary bottlenecks.
Is anybody interested in reviewing them?
Andrea

Guess no.
But I'll rework the first patch a bit (the sequence of revents <--> errno check is already bogus) and commit them. And I really suggest you to use an application like dvbstream which does its own buffering (at least I hope so ;) - because it has never happened to me yet that the ringbuffer overflowed (and it shouldn't with sane applications).

I've read the code of dvbstream and it does not use an other buffer, it writes immediately to the output file, the same as gnutv.

It can happen to me when the output file is on a NAS via wireless network. gnutv is very easy to use, lightweight, command line and saves subtitles too.
