But I think, that maybe the problem has to do with still images, which are sent while moving cut marks, as it only happens when moving cut marks. Some days ago I've already discovered that VDR doesn't call StillImage() with a single I-frame. It may contain some remainder of the previous B-frame and may be too short, as the remainder of the I-frame is in the PES packet which contains the start of the next B-frame. At the moment, it looks like xine disconnects for some reason (maybe it sees an end of stream in the garbage). I'll have to make sure first, that only correct data is sent to xine. And then it may simply be enough to disconnect in the case "r == 0". Thank you very much for your help! Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform. (FH) Reinhard Nissl mailto:rnissl@xxxxxx
