[vdr] Re: Termination when recording encrypted channels

["Dan Ratner" <dratner@softhome.net>]

As I was afraid of...too simple. I changed the timeout (doubled it!).
However it didn't help and I got the same error. I think something else is
the issue.

Question: when you hit record, should you still be getting external video
out? I noticed that as soon as I hit record the video out changes to black
screen. I don't know if this is related or not.

You could change the line

#define MAXNONUSEFULDATA (10*1024*1024)

in VDR/remux.c to allow more non useful data before the emergency exit.
