Griasde J?rg, I've tried to use your new version with 1.4.0. So, what I've done? Let me explain ... I'm testing your latest pin-plugin from http://www.jwendel.de/vdr/vdr-pin-0.0.15.tgz with a plain vanilla-vdr 1.4.0 I've patched the vdr with the patch, delivered with your plugin "vdr-1.4.0-plain.diff". Locking a channel is no problem, but if I try to lock a recording, nothing will happens. Syslog said: Apr 30 23:55:58 tecvdr vdr: [7638] executing command '/usr/bin/fskprotect.sh protect "/video/Clips/Tito_&_Tarantula_-_After_Dark/2005-02-04.22.50.99.99.rec"' But wether I activate the pin-protection or not, I can start the recording as well. :( This few lines in /var/log/messages makes me "stutzig": Apr 30 23:51:06 tecvdr vdr: [7656] PIN plugin receiver thread started (pid=7656) Apr 30 23:51:06 tecvdr vdr: [7656] Receiving message failed, errno 13 Apr 30 23:51:06 tecvdr last message repeated 10 times If I deavtivate the pin-plugin, this errormessage won't be seen, so I assume that this line have someting to do with the pin-plugin. But why won't it work right? What happend wrong? Do you have an idea? Pfiade, BC
