Thanks for your answer, but you should reckon that checking vdr-sxfe won't help preventing vdr from using a crashed card for the timed recordings. I could do something similar if the driver was reporting that the card had crashed, and thanks to the dynamite patch I could remove the device, reload the driver and re-insert it. I'm going to patch getdevice so that the faulty card is only used for live view. -- _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
