Hi, my vdr crashed tonight during a recording. The cause seems to be a problem with the recording device. Hardware: ReadyNAS RN104, 512 MB RAM, Armada XP 370 (arm cpu) DVB: Technisat SkyStar USB DVB-S2 Software: Debian Wheezy, selfbuilt kernel 3.16.3 technisat-usb2.c was modified to reduce buffer sizes: framesperurb: reduced from 32 to 8 >From the log you can see: 00:30:00 recording starts 01:12:18 vdr finishes some EPG update (how if it currently is recording?) 01:14:30 vdr is killed by some watchdog This is only 2 mins after the last entry in the syslog. The CPU is very slow and VDR might be busy with something. for comparison: Bringing up VDR-Admin takes 60 secs of CPU time DVB device is shut down after vdr died. who does this? udev? 01:14:34 DVB device comes up again but fails because of "technisat-usb2: i2c-error: in failed 53 = -110" 01:14:52 VDR fails to start because there is no recording device. I was able to get things running by unloading the modules and loading them again. After that I started VDR. What exactly do the i2c-errors mean? Find attached a "grep i2c-error syslog*" Is there anything I could do to solve this problem? thanks, Jan
