Hi, first of all:
Sorry, I am new to this list, and I hope that my issue still has not been
discussed within the last weeks. The problem: I am
not able to get my SS2 working stable with VDR (as posted e.g. at http://www.vdrportal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=8401&sid=c2c3fb611956955700755ef15a50c8e1&hilight=skystar2&hilightuser=0). I already got some working recordings, but after having the
PC run for several days (heat problem?), I get the message “video data
stream broken” when I try to record from the SS2. Then, VDR is being
restarted and the driver is being reloaded, but this does not help: VDR tries
to continue the recording, but the driver still fails. As there have
been patches against some SS2 problems recently, I downloaded the CVS drivers
from 06.12.2003 but they did not solve my problems (I previously had the
drivers from beginning of november). Hasnīt the mentioned patch from 28.11.2003
by Wolfgang Thiel not been applied to the CVS (havenīt tried this one yet as I
read about it first some minutes ago)? Is this patch mentioned worth trying? Here is what I
get when the driver is being loaded: Dec 7 18:32:34
