I also have the same setup - one VDR near the dish - in my case with 4 DVB-devices and one VDR-box in the living room that I'm using as client. I have mounted the "server" video-directory using NFS at the client. I have some problems to get picture at the client sometimes - when it happens I have to switch channel until I get picture - then I can switch back to the channel I wanted to see. I'm also having to Hauppauge MVP's using vompserver that streams from the server and they always get picture so I think it has something with streamdev or xine to do? > I'm doing any nfs mounting and unmounting on the 'playback system' through the > command menu rather than at boot: no real reason for this, just how I set it > originally!

I've been trying with that a little but I didn't really understand how it should work? It feels like that the video-dircetorys gets updated anyway? If I touch .update in the shared video-directory it just stays there - can anyone tell me how this works in the latest VDR-versions? / Lars > _______________________________________________ > vdr mailing list > vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx > http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
