Hi! So to sum up all the eMails - and thanks to the group of people, who are contributing. Emergency Exit _is_ needed in case you have: a FullFeatured and/or CAM system I personally never had problems with EPG search, grep-ed through my logs, but no "unknown picture type" or "video datastream broken" ever occoured. I use xine, in preparation of DVB-S2 h.264. So my wish is: can I have a knob to disable the emergency exit feature? Maybe Tero's can give us more input of his error handling script. This sounds a more reasonable way of handling exceptions.

I don't know who's fault it is but I would have broken recordings if there would be no emergency exit. It doesn't happen often, but most of the time (or always?) I get "unknown picture type" or "video datastream broken" errors if following conditions are met: - EPG scan ON - VDR runs some time before recording starts. E.g. when replaying a recording and an EPG scan has been performed before starting recording. I never have that problem if EPG scan is off. My VDR box has to FF DVB-s cards and it happened with different VDR (atm 1.4.6), kernel (atm 2.6.18.6), dvb driver (atm Friday's "refactoring" repository) and firmware (atm F12623) releases. So emergency exit is needed on my box, but I would prefer to have the cause for UPT and VDSB fixed ;) Regards, Andreas -- http://andreas.vdr-developer.org --- VDRAdmin-AM VDR user #303 _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
