(this is also what I did for a while: > http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?postid=809751#post809751) I tested everything you guys suggested, and ended up booting into older kernel-versions. I finally found a kernel-version that returned a suxxesful grab. After this i did a diff on the kernel-config-files, and found what was missing from my new configs: CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT=y (Device Drivers->Multimedia support-> Enable Video For Linux API 1 compatible Layer=y) Enabling this, recompiling the kernel, replacing the kernel-image and rebooting my vdr returned the grab-feature of vdr!! I'm not sure why vdr 1.6.0-2 needs this setting, but anyway this solved the case. I hope that if someone has similar problems, that these instructions help them getting grab to work again! Best Regards, and have a merry New Year 2010 :-) René _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
