That's only correct if you ignore specifications. Maybe VDR is behaving according to the specified interface and the firmware fails. Maybe mplayer is working around firmware bugs by behaving differently - which may or may not be according to the specified interface. What we can agree upon is the fact that the problem *can* be solved within the application program. IMHO, the fact that mplayer works where VDR does not proves just that, but not more. However, if VDR behaves 100% according to specification, the problem *should* be solved in the driver and/or firmware, because that would fix all programs that also behave 100% according to specification and fail. If fixing it where it should be fixed turns out to be too difficult, it might still be a good idea to fix it in VDR. Carsten.
