[vdr] Big problem with scheduled recording

["Sebastian Herp" <newsletter@scytheman.net>]

Hello list!
I tried to send and resend and send and resend this email several times ...
if you do not want to accept my mail please tell me so ... bad list you ...
*knurr*

I do not know what happened this evening with my vdr, but the syslog is ...
ehm "full" :-(

I scheduled "Star Trek - Der Aufstand" for recording and left the house.
There were about 4-5 GB free diskspace .... so the diskspace can not be the
problem (1,6 GB left after the recording). The recording starts normally but
then ... wohoo ... the syslog is filled with endless "read imcomplete
section"-messages. But that is not all ... there are very strange messages
after the recording stopped ...

Approximately one hour after VDR deleted the timer "Nov 24 22:40:00 milk
vdr[460]: deleting timer 1", VDR randomly changes channels (only
interpreting the syslog).

-------------------------------------
strange, isn't it?

at approximately 1 o'clock i came home ... the OSD of the VDR had strange
colours, red and light green fontcolor ... almost unreadable ... VDR seems
to
work perfectly anyway...

I deleted the appended complete syslog-excerpt ... this mailing-list doesn't
want me to post it (as it looks like *g*) ...

Thanks,
Sebastian Herp
