Recording made from the USB tuner are unreliable

Issue #152 resolved
Ian Brabham created an issue

Recordings from a mux on the USB tuner D are often trash. Seems to be worse if you interact with the tuning system while the recording is happening. Sometimes the .ts file stops growing, sometime the associated metadata files are corrupt/incomplete, sometime both happen. Once the recording become corrupt you may not be able to select any mux from the transponder tuned by the USB tuner D (tuner totally jammed up). Sometimes you cannot even change the transponder frequency on the other tuners. Stopping the original recording on USB tuner D returns all to normal.

Reproduction steps

Select Tuner D as the default tuner (or occupy Tuners A, B & C with other recordings). Start a recording that is from a mux on Tuner D.

Change channels randomly.

Sometimes the recording will be corrupted.

Sometime the recording will be okay.

    A file was uploaded. reference to attachment Putty_20140601_141646.zip (Running serial port log during #152 testing) This comment was attached:

    Bug seems harder to trigger with 20140528, but eventually after much prodding and poking the USB tuner D locked up. Releasing the recordings did not recover the tuner, but the other tuners (A, B & C) were all good. A GUI restart recovered the system.

    Attached log is serial port log captured while I was testing the bug. Sorry it's over 800KB. Much activity was required to make it die.
