[vdr] Re: Multiple crashes while recording

[Norman Beck <norman.beck@web.de>]

Klaus,

here is the log file snippet from the start of recording. It looks alike what Emil mentioned regarding broken video streams etc.. Maybe my guess -- regarding file creation while recording -- was a "Holzweg":

May 26 23:45:00 vdr vdr[589]: timer 1 start

May 26 23:57:55 vdr vdr[589]: exiting
May 26 23:57:55 vdr vdr[589]: emergency exit!

This happened a few times while recording but each time caused by a broken video stream.

At the moment I'll try the hack suggested by Emil -- thanx to him :-)

So long,
Norman
