Feb 20 10:28:22 sid vdr[7544]: mp3: player thread ended (pid=7544) How to reproduce: Put an image file in a directory with a matching mp3 file. This error occurs the first time the image is converted to a mpg file. Once the cache file exists, the error does not happen any more. I would also like to add that everything *appears* to work correctly from a users standpoint. The only problem is the error in the syslog (but VDR does not actually shutdown). Best Regards,
