Any specific info request? I guess the attachted log is from the server? Here is my possible explanation, the softdevice CVS has currently a *very* small buffer, the purpose of this is to make seeking backward in a recording correct. In the near future it will be possible to select the buffersize for correct seeking, save buffers and HDTV buffers, but this is currently not yet implemented. So with this very small buffer the softdevice cannot accept data at anytime, especially when it has to switch from fullscreen to normal mode and back for several times. The result is that also the buffers of the streamdevice run full, and vdr clears the buffers of the server. I don't know why this causes a crash, but I assume that one of the threads of the streamdevice gets canceled which in the end causes a crash. Please try to use the softdevice version 0.1.2, which is the last stable release and has save buffer sizes. The CVS version is the head of the development, which is _not_ the most stable version.
