Hi! Thanks for your answer, streaming with vlc works great! I still am stuck with the "Channel locked (recording)!" message, though. It appears whenever I want to record something: Jul 5 17:28:47 connect from 127.0.0.1, port 35607 - accepted Jul 5 17:28:47 timer 1 (109 1705-1750 'Johann Lafers Culinarium') added Jul 5 17:28:47 timer 1 (109 1705-1750 'Johann Lafers Culinarium') start Jul 5 17:28:47 record /data/incoming/filme/Fernsehen/Johann_Lafers_Culinarium/2005-07-05.17:05.99. 99.rec Jul 5 17:28:47 closing SVDRP connection Jul 5 17:28:47 ERROR: Channel locked (recording)!

I have looked through the code and found the lines in player.c, but I have no clue what this means. void cControl::Attach(void) { if (control && !control->attached && control->player && !control->player->IsAttached()) { if (cDevice::PrimaryDevice()->AttachPlayer(control->player)) control->attached = true; else { Interface->Error(tr("Channel locked (recording)!")); Shutdown(); } } } Could you please give me a hint where I have to look or how to debug this? Thank you!
