While your system may work for years without updating it, eventually you will fall too far behind and either need to update everything or butcher the hell out of your source with patches that may or may not work properly. Lots of guys grumble about everything they need to update when they finally decide to get out of the dark ages, and I can never understand why they expect it to be any different. At some point, all the time & effort wasted on backwards compatibility winds up only serving a very small handful of guys that seems to get joy from telling people how long it's been since they've updated their system. My motto is stay at least remotely current or get left in the dust. ;) If you're using a v4l tree that works with both your kernel and the S2API wrapper, then you may want to try a VDR version prior to the FF specific stuff being moved into a plugin and see if you have any better luck. I could be wrong but I think the FF change may not be 100% yet. Good luck! _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
