But back to my original question. Could someone who is more familiar to c-programming and knows how VDR works check out the LiveBUffer patch and add a these few new features to it? I would love to get warned if i change the channel in the middle of watching a program from the buffer...! :-) This would be more important feature if the buffer is in RAM, and not on the HDD. If i really missed something important, then I just check it with eg. VLC over a a samba-export.. Regards, René -=-=- ...
