Some years ago vdr was reporting the bad picture types when they occured. Now i've got no means to detects them on the server (neither in vdr logs nor in kernel messages) vdr-sxfe output complains it can't demultiplex the stream, but that won't work when I'm away and nobody's watching tv. That won't prevent vdr from using the bad card. My question still remains :) I don't mind patching vdr (changing getdevice or something else). If there's no existing patch or plugin, could you give me some input on what to change to prevent vdr from using one card for recordings and epg scans ? TIA. -- _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
