I haven't had time to try your fix (or watch TV at all) but I will try to
find time tonight !

This also might lead to the solution. IIRC there was a small bug in
replaying Recordings. If I replayed a recording that was still recording
(fx. timeshift) and then winded forward to the end I had trouble if I got
past the last 5 or 6 seconds, then the replay was "stumbeling". I tried this
in VDR 1.1.33 and it has been fixed, it is not possible to wind to the last
5-6 seconds. I am not sure in which version that is was done, but that could
explain the trouble I am getting. When I did my tests with VDR 1.1.31-33 I
waited 4-5 seconds, but if VDR somehow thinks the recording is at its end
then maybee I have to wait longer than the proposed 3 seconds. I will test
that too.

Greetings
Christian
