_VDR_ crashes when starting a timer while mplayer-Plugin is running. That's because vdr had to close the device to let mplayer open it. When the recording starts, vdr tries to open the device but fails: -> emergency restart -> close mplayer-Plugin -> quit mplayer. I always thought of rewriting the plugin to write the video data directly to the device instead of letting mplayer do it. I already had parts of the code in the recoder-tools. Now I bought a second card and the problem is gone, so is my ambition to write this code. :-(
It's too bad you never finished rewriting that plugin cuz there's a ton of people who would be using it right now if you did. Multi-card setups definitely don't seem to be the majority. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
