DTVRecorder::FindKeyframes in 0.19 causes video gltiches in firewire recordings

Reported by: anonymous Owned by: Isaac Richards
Priority: minor Milestone: unknown
Component: mythtv Version: 0.19
Severity: high Keywords: firewire
Cc: Ticket locked: no

Description

In 0.18.1, DCT6200 firewire recordings work fine. In 0.19, a video glitch occurs every few seconds. I replaced the DTVRecorder::FindKeyframes? in 0.19 with the code in 0.18.1 modified to work with the changed signature. The video glitches went away. DVB recordings work fine in both 0.18.1 and 0.19.

The second patch fixes the 0:01 recording length problem with the first patch.

I see now that the 0.18.1 code never sets _last_gop_seen. I will try to produce a smaller patch when my backend is not in use.

This won't work, we need to be able to handle MPEG-1 streams, and hence detect GOP's. Also this function will be slower once #799 is fixed.

What is needed is buffering between the device read and ProcessTSPacket.

See ticket #712.

Since I don't see log messages indicating the firewire recorder is dropping packets, I fail to see how buffering will help but fixing #799 looks promising.
