I don't know about it restarting. The crashing with loss of signal is suposed to be a safe guard against creating blank recordings. Seems like a bad idea to me to. Just delete the bad recordings, don't crash the system. Here is the fix we've been using: Locate the line in recorder.c and comment it out. esyslog("ERROR: video data stream broken"); - ShutdownHandler.RequestEmergencyExit(); + // ShutdownHandler.RequestEmergencyExit(); ----- Original Message ----- From: "JJussi" <linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxx> To: "VDR Mailing List" <vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, September 28, 2007 11:49 PM Subject: Not good behaviour from vdr > Hi! > > Yesterday, here at Southern Finland one of the TV channels had "cut out" at > DVB stream (like half hour).
