No, it just means that VDR waits until devices with CAMs have completed setting up the communication with the CAM. Of course, the driver has to be fully loaded before VDR can access the devices. > To speed up the vdr start, i started the dvb driver separate from my > runvdr. > But when i started the dvb driver with & in Background, the driver is > not ready when > the vdr starts and i get no picture. > > I would like that vdr waits for the dvb driver even if the driver > started with & in Background. I guess it's a matter of coincidence whether or not the driver will be completely up and running when VDR tries to access the devices. You should always wait until the driver is ready before starting VDR. Klaus
