Hi. I've been googling this PPPClear thing - It looks like it might be to do with the vdr-xine plugin. http://linvdr.org/mailinglists/vdr/2004/11/msg00736.html talks about multiple audio channels & a transfer patch in VDR 1.3.14 There might also be something in toggling the dolby selection in Xine? I will try these tonight. > vdr-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx schrieb am 19.10.2006 23:28:52: > >> >> >> >> PPPClear(4)! >> >> Play >> > >> > I don't think these messages are dvd-plugin related, as I cannot find >> > them via grep (vdr-xine ?).
