Hi, I loaded vdr-1.3.24 yesterday. It built OK, installed and I rebooted just to ensure I had clean everything. Watching TV was fine, worked well. But as soon as I started to record something I got very jittery, stuttering display. Seems I started getting video stream errors which caused VDR to crash: May 10 23:10:00 vdr vdr[18942]: record /video0/Get_Carter/2005-05-10.23:10.99.99.rec May 10 23:10:02 vdr vdr[18942]: switching to channel 6 May 10 23:10:02 vdr vdr[18942]: info: Channel not available!

I didn't get these before. I tried three times, and got the same error. As the recording was on a timer, it was crashing within a minute or two of coming up. I reverted to 1.3.23 and all seems fine again. System is a P2.4, running Mandrake 10.0, and a 2.6.5 kernel. DVB's come direct from the kernel. Using a TT-FF terrestrial card. Could it be, that after many attempts to get DVD recording working with lots of kernel extensions loaded, I have adjusted the kernel integrity? Is this the time to restart the OS and go back to a clean install? It would be a pain (as I don't have a display screen on the VDR box) but potentially do-able. Thoughts? Adrian
