I forced a core dump and did a backtrace on VDR when the problem occurred: (gdb) bt #0 0xb77ec424 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb77a30b9 in __lll_lock_wait () from /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 #2 0xb779e54b in _L_lock_791 () from /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 #3 0xb779e371 in pthread_mutex_lock () from /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 #4 0x0811da32 in cMutex::Lock() () #5 0xb5df6928 in Lock (this=0xb0d7ffc8) at ../../../include/vdr/thread.h:91 #6 cLogger::Down (this=0xb0d7ffc8) at cam.c:407 #7 0xb5dfaf39 in cCam::Stop (this=0xb0d456a8) at cam.c:2315 #8 0xb5dfb04e in cCam::Tune (this=0xb0d456a8, channel=0xb0d5229c) at cam.c:2284 #9 0xb5e00e47 in cScDvbDevice::SetChannelDevice (this=0xb42a9da0, Channel=0xb0d5229c, LiveView=false) at device-tmpl.c:184 #10 0x080ac537 in cDevice::SetChannel(cChannel const*, bool) () #11 0x080ac881 in cDevice::SwitchChannel(cChannel const*, bool) () #12 0x080beae0 in cEITScanner::Process() () #13 0x0812a3c8 in main ()
Is the problem CAM related?

After upgrading to 1.7.21 I have started having these issues where the picture freezes on the frontend from time to time. It can last from 30 seconds to several minutes. Looking at the log I see these errors repeating themselves: vdr-sxfe[9003]: [9014] [demux_vdr] ts2es: payload not PES ? vdr-sxfe[9003]: [9014] [demux_vdr] ts2es: dropping broken PES packet
VDR itself is not logging anything particular when this happens, despite being at loglevel 3.
I tried just streaming to VLC and the same thing happends, which means it's nota frontend issue. I cannot open the OSD when the problem is 'active'.
If the watchdog is enabled it will cause a restart of VDR.
If the picture comes back before the watchdog kicks inn I get: vdr-sxfe[31073]: [31111] [demux_vdr] New PTS: 7275023756 (VIDEO)
Any ideas on how to proceed to debug this?
Source is DVB-C, 1.7.17 was my previous version where I did not have this issue. Using precompiled packages from http://ppa.launchpad.net/yavdr/stable-vdr/ubuntu
