I also have a single FF card setup and know about the problem you speak of with mplayer causing VDR to crash when a timers goes off while mplayer is in use. Could you try building current svn of mplayer with current HG dvb drivers and let us know if you still have the problem? This problem seems to have disappeared for me after updating mplayer a few weeks ago. It is not reproducable for me every time.. only sometimes.
Ok, I've grabbed, compiled & installed both the mplayer svn and v4l drivers from today. So far I've only tested it once but this time VDR did not crash. The mplayer plugin appeared to abort and the recording seems to have started. There was no audio or video on the tv though until I changed the channel. I'll do more testing a little later today. My main questions are, is it absolutely necessary that the mplayer plugin abort for a timer to start recording? Is it absolutely necessary that the mplayer plugin open the tuner card, taking it away from VDR? From previous posts it sounds like this problem can be eliminated with a code rewrite. Thanks guys! *Note: This is in reference to a single card system using a FF card. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
