That might be true. When I first reported recordings with length 0, the emergency exit was disabled. That time I had log-entries with "video data stream broken". According your advice, I enabled it, but since then I had no more log-entries with "video data stream broken", but had recordings with length 0 So there might be other reasons that stop vdr from recording without any notice / log entry > So if a tuner doesn't deliver any more data, VDR restarts > and reloads the driver (provided you use a properly set up "runvdr" > script). Hm, I gues my runvdr might be ok, since my backend does timer-controlled wakeup and shuts down in idle state. kind regards Gero _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
