I'm now running 2.4.0 and it is stable, no oops yet in the first two
hours of recording. I'll look at bttv2 (which I take is the BTTV V4L2
driver) and I take it I'll discover what deviceX is in the process...
Linux 2.4.0 is a much cleaner install than 2.2.18 was, I'm waiting for
this to fall over, at the moment it occasionally gets 4 frames behind,
that is all.
while true ; do
AVI=`date '+/home/chomp0/%H%M_%d%h%y.avi'`
nice -n -10 streamer -r 10 -t 9000 -o $AVI -f mjpeg -F mono16 -R 16000
done
So, what's the biggest project in terms of number of TV channels and
hours of archive that anyone'll own up to on this list???
How does that streamer command work for you at all, if you're losing
frames? If you lose frames, the audio/video drop out of sync, which makes
that file somewhat useless, no? I use this, and I constantly get pages and
pages of 4-8 frames lost. I've even tried to increase the buffer size in
the btt driver.
streamer -r 29.97 -t 9000 -o /mnt/media/foo.avi -j 60 -f mjpeg -F stereo -R
8000
I just end up with pages and pages of this:
rate: video is 8 frames behind
rate: video is 8 frames behind
rate: video is 7 frames behind
rate: video is 7 frames behind
This is a celeron 600 with 128MB RAM on an Intel D815EEAL board, hooked up
to a UDMA/100 40GB drive... Am I running low on cpu speed, memory size,
drive speed, or something else? I really want to get this to work. The
key for me is getting ~320x240 at 29.97fps... Thanks.
