Nope, it's not. Whenever the nuc needs to do something else ontop of doing the recording, you get pixelation.

You can try the following: watch a channel from VLC and while watching, do that on the nuc machine:

Code:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null

Press ctl c from time to time and start again. Every start of that command should put out the NUC from a lower powerstate, and stopping back in. Keep watching with vlc all the time.

Can you introduce those errors, when doing so?

I think the older release had some different kernel with a different driver module for that device. Which driver is it again?

Edit: if that load is not enough, start another one on a different terminal. If you are really unlucky, you can even provoke it by just navigating through xbmc

ok, just had to compile the streamdev plugin on my ubuntu nuc.

I just opened 4 ssh sessions and navigated through xbmc menu. NO WAY to reproduce the pixelation in the VLC Stream with this method. But when i play your test sample from servustv, i get the pixelation in the vlc stream but in a very moderate way. Not as heavy as when watching the save channel in vlc and on the nuc itself


my tuner is a pctv 460e with dvb-fe-tda10071.fw firmware and em28xx comtroller. the controller seems to be the same in all pctv tuners. maybe this is the problem

Edit: Does adding: processor.max_cstate=3 to /etc/default/grub or syslinux pendant improve anything? Remember(!) to remove that line again as this stops a lot of powersaving.

no. does not change anything. i tried max_cstate= 3,2,1,0
