Since a few kernels I get this error when streaming video to TV via minidlna:

Checked it started with at least 4.14.25. My older kern.log.2.gz file says before first march I did not get this error. But I removed older kernels from my /boot directory.

I usually update kernel regularly as they appear but sometime I have a week or two delay. If this helps bisecting.


Opened bug 199211 in bugzilla. Other user have confirmed it and even proposed a possible explanation.
