Hello, Today I spent a lot of time to find out what is wrong there: Here comes a small sylog output: Feb 8 23:22:58 vdrbox vdr: [3480] info: Aufzeichnung gestartet Feb 8 23:22:58 vdrbox vdr: [3516] file writer thread started (pid=3480, tid=3516) Feb 8 23:22:58 vdrbox vdr: [3517] recording thread started (pid=3480, tid=3517) Feb 8 23:22:58 vdrbox vdr: [3518] TS buffer on device 1 thread started (pid=3480, tid=3518) Feb 8 23:23:01 vdrbox vdr: [3480] max. latency time 4 seconds Feb 8 23:24:02 vdrbox vdr: [3480] timer 1 (5 2322-0222 '@OBJEKT?F') set to event Fre 09.02.2007 00:50-01:40 'EVLERE SENLIK' Feb 8 23:24:19 vdrbox vdr: [3511] cAudioRepacker(0xC0): skipped 392 bytes to sync on next audio frame Feb 8 23:24:19 vdrbox vdr: [3517] cAudioRepacker(0xC0): skipped 392 bytes to sync on next audio frame Feb 8 23:25:31 vdrbox vdr: [3493] frontend 1 timed out while tuning to channel 57, tp 498 Feb 8 23:25:52 vdrbox vdr: [3511] 1 cRepacker messages suppressed Feb 8 23:25:52 vdrbox vdr: [3511] cAudioRepacker(0xC0): skipped 488 bytes to sync on next audio frame Feb 8 23:25:52 vdrbox vdr: [3511] PES packet shortened to 5336 bytes (expected: 5888 bytes) Feb 8 23:25:52 vdrbox vdr: [3517] 1 cRepacker messages suppressed Feb 8 23:25:52 vdrbox vdr: [3517] cAudioRepacker(0xC0): skipped 488 bytes to sync on next audio frame Feb 8 23:25:52 vdrbox vdr: [3517] PES packet shortened to 5336 bytes (expected: 5888 bytes) I am using a tt 2.3 dvb-s and the latest firmware for it. There are no other expensive background threads. The harddisk i in dma mode etc. my vdr-version is 1.4.4 but I tried it with unpatched 1.4.5 too. The repackager errors are only listed in the debug log after starting a recording. Live view is ok. Please help. Halim
