hi i just wanted to share some experiences with the "unknown picture type"-restarting error. i exchanged my board/cpu 2 months ago: old: asus a7n8x2.0 deluxe athlon-xp 2500+ gcc-3.3.x gentoo (-march=k7) new: asus a8v deluxe athlon-64 3000+ (winchester) gcc-3.4.x (because of the -march=k8 switch, which does not exist in gcc-3.3.x) (32-bit gentoo, i had a 64bit system for 3 days and changed because of just tosvcd and a second private project) gentoo (-march=k8) the UPT vanished! vdr is rock stable (in fact a little bit TOO stable, because vdradmind was restarted together with vdr. now vdradmind has enough time to crash silently and stops handling my autostart timers...) the rest of the system stayed the same (based on gentoo/vdr-1.2.6), so either gcc 3.3.x -> 3.4.x Board/CPU change or a newer kernel stopped my UPT-errors. bye.
