Hi Klaus, >> Now the EPG >> scan starts in the night (as I want it to), but in the next morning, my >> screen is black. VDR still works, I can access the menus and so on, but >> no Live-TV.

The only solution I found is restarting VDR. > The EPG scan only tunes to each transponder for some 20 seconds and > collects whatever data it finds.

Thanks for the info. This explains why the screen goes black when I start a scan with the red button, right? Anyway, I *will* find this bug :-) Debugging this one will be hard... If I switch to another channel after I started an EPG scan, it's fine: the scan stops, and I get live TV. I would have to start scan, wait 20 seconds, change channel. Start scan, wait 40 seconds, channel switch. start, 60 seconds, .... well, approximately after a year I would have found the reason ;-( Maybe a debug message "scanning EPG on transponder xy" would be helpful. Klaus, could you give me a hint where to place such a printf? (my C++ knowledge is that miserable) I think that only live tv does not work, as I said, watching a recording is fine. And I think that recording works fine, too (there's an autotimer from my girlfriend for "Die Maus auf dem Mars" every morning, and I'm *sure* she would have complained :-) I get lots of "CAM: different stream flag in CA descriptors" messages during the night (probably during the EPG scan), any idea what this means? btw, today I've seen lots of this messages in my log: changing pids of channel 3203 from 701+701:702:204 to 901+901:902:204 changing pids of channel 3203 from 901+901:902:204 to 701+701:702:204 changing pids of channel 3203 from 701+701:702:204 to 901+901:902:204 they alternate every 30 seconds or so. Channel 3203 is here: Test-R;ARD:11836:hC34:S19.2E:27500:901:902:204:0:28130:1:1101:0 oh, it's called Test-R... that explains it all :-) TIA, Michael -- Michael Reinelt <reinelt@xxxxxxxx> http://home.pages.at/reinelt GPG-Key 0xDF13BA50 ICQ #288386781
