The log i posted was from the client, nothing strange happened on
server side, only a "RIGHT DETACH".

Using a stable softdevice does not changed anything, i suspect this
issue is caused by softdevice which maybe show some problem in
streamdev or vdr? The exit seems to be from vdr, cTSBuffer::Action() in
device.c
