Simple script to stress-test the Hauppauge HD PVR
Simple script to stress-test the Hauppauge HD PVR

The Hauppauge HD PVR video-capture device occasionally locks up after
frequent start-stop cycles.

It takes us ~7 hours of running this script to reach a failure.

The "num-buffers=5000" results in ~25 seconds of video capture from the
HD PVR before gst-launch returns.

Make sure you disable standby on your set-top box (or whatever your
video source is), or the HD PVR will lose video input before it has a
chance to lock up. Also disable or shield the infrared receiver on your
set-top box, so that stray infrared signals won't switch it off.
