Ok, after much testing Stefan's patch frequently aborts mplayer playback when a timer is triggered while Anssi's doesn't. I don't know why this is if both patches are essentially doing the same thing during the same time. Something must be different to give different results. At any rate, please don't accept Stefan's method into the next version of the plugin until this last problem has been resolved. Many thanks for the work to fix this once and for all! _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
