Re: Ticket #10414: HDHomeRun: Bad Recordings (was: Bad, Recordings - Choppy Playback)
|

If you'd like to see statistics about the recording quality - in
particular, anything bad that was noticed by the HDHomerun library
during the recording - then check out this thread:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/388751#388751
The patch in it logs network, sequence, transport, and buffer overflow
errors from the HDHomerun.
Like this: "HDHRRec(31): HDHR Stats: pkts=1061797 hwm=23 KB Errors:
net=0 trnsprt=0 seq=8 ovflow=0"
I've been using this for years to diagnose screwy recordings.
