No, I haven't seen anybody else complain about this either. It's been happening to me for quite a long time, for several versions. I use the Debian packages. I thought it could be the eepg plugin but disabling that didn't seem to fix the leak. I also use xineliboutput and remote plugins, but I've been using those for years, before the leak started. At one point it stopped leaking and I realised I'd messed up my channels.conf so either all the DVB-T or all the DVB-S channels were broken and the leak came back when I fixed that. I think I tried reproducing similar conditions but for some reason I didn't make an effort to record or remember the results! I should repeat that and make notes, but it takes about a day on each run before I can be reasonably sure whether it's leaking or not. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
