There's already a thread about that on this list.

You can use the old firmware (dated April 15, 2002) together with the new
driver to replay RTL recordings. Make sure you comment out the lines

#define DO_REC_AND_PLAY_ON_PRIMARY_DEVICE 1
#define DO_MULTIPLE_RECORDINGS 1

in VDR/dvbdevice.c to avoid problems when recording.

I hope the driver developers can come up with a fix for this...
