Hi,
Sounds similiar to my problem description posted here some time ago:

http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/vdr/2008-December/018991.html

Nobody answered :(, so I am still using that getstream/iptv workaround.

Hoped this patch could help me, but had no opportunity to check for this 
yet.

Thanks,
Janusz
