I guess you missed the correct "setting" which fixes that bug: You bought a second DVB card. _VDR_ crashes when starting a timer while mplayer-Plugin is running. That's because vdr had to close the device to let mplayer open it. When the recording starts, vdr tries to open the device but fails: -> emergency restart -> close mplayer-Plugin -> quit mplayer. I always thought of rewriting the plugin to write the video data directly to the device instead of letting mplayer do it. I already had parts of the code in the recoder-tools. Now I bought a second card and the problem is gone, so is my ambition to write this code. :-( So long, -- Patrick Cernko | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.errror.org "Wo wir schon bei den Drogen sind kommen wir auch gleich zum Hip-Hip."
