Hhm, though it's strange that I don't get these messages for my brother's files although they contain ID3 tags too, but maybe a different version. > The messages are not related to the image processing in any way. That's right. @Simon: I've tried to reproduce this issue on my other system but I can't reproduce it. My last resort would be to write the stream data which input_vdr receives into a file for further debugging. How are your programming skills? Do you think you can manage this on your own?
