Dunno about a fix, but I think I know what you mean, have heard those every now and then myself. I wonder if the ffmpeg folks are aware of it or could help... anyway, patches accepted, as always :) > The other bug I feel is worth mentioning is that the dvb subtitles > disappear after a while (20 minutes maybe) when playing a recording.

I haven't noticed this, but it's very much possible that I haven't even been watching any recordings that have DVB subtitles. I wonder if this has anything to do with a DXR3, or if the problem is elsewhere...? > Other than that the GetSTC patch really does its job beautifully.

You probably know, but that patch has been applied in the vdr-dxr3-0-2 branch of the plugin's CVS for some time. Kudos to Mikko Tuumanen for the patch.
