I did check the source code and noticed that if a plugin fails to start it really causes VDR to not start also. My aim really was to start some discussion on whether that should be changed. I myself think that VDR should start although some plugin fails to start. I'd hate to find out that some timed recording failed because the lcd display of the PC case malfunctioned. -Petri _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
