[vdr] Re: Errors vdr 1.0.0pre4

[Joerg Eilers <eilersj@gmx.de>]

Hi,

taking a look at my log I found there was quite some time between the
first "ERROR: can't record MPEG1!" and the last one, which seems to
have broken the system.
I can't remember any distortion in picture or audio during
the whole film, even if there were several of this messages...

So afterwards is my log beginning whith the start of the recording,
ending with the restart after a hard reset.

Thank you for your answer!

Joerg

Did you observe any picture or audio distortions while watching the
live broadcast?

Can you send me the original /var/log/message lines from a few minutes
before the errors started until a few minutes after the first error
message?
