So unless at least three others give me a GO > on this one, it will have to stay out of 1.4.0. i don't think this really fixes any real problems, just a correctness issue :) Basically the code was trying to free a bit too much data, when playing or jumping backwards -- i doubt it matters in RL. It probably doesn't even matter when replaying an ongoing recording near the end (the only case i can think of where it actually could make noticeable difference, by forcing the new data to disk). As i said it's mostly harmless, just wanted to mention it once i got a current vdr running and before i forget about it. Certainly it doesn't deserve to hold up 1.4.0 by itself. artur
