yes, but for me it's not errors, it's only information messages, nothing special. May be I wrong...

do these warnings you see always or only during of the first several seconds after switching on the Arte ?

it's other problem. MPlayer doesn't play PES h.264 files recorded by VDR

> This sample is only 65 Mo so I can upload in somewhere if needed.


you can cut it

If the sample file is too large ( > 10 megabytes), cut it down to size with the Unix 'dd' command: 
dd if=sample-file of=small-sample-file bs=1024 count=10000
