I got this error, too. Perhaps it's some other problem- but still unsolved!

I did that. Here are the results:

I Zapped ARD --> RTL2 --> ARD --> Super RTL
##################################
linux:/dvb/apps/szap # szap "ARD"  -a1 -c /video/channels.conf
reading channels from file '/video/channels.conf'
zapping to 'ARD':

Re: VDR version 1.2.5pre1 pre-release

Well, as long you dont wanna release vdrXP ... ;-)

i have a slight problem with the OSD in vdr 1.2.4 and 1.2.5pre1 (could
not test 1.2.3, doesn't work here):

If the OSD is completely updated (i.e: press back in a submenu, or right
on the last page of the records-menu), the OSD flashes ("flackert, zuckt
blitzt"). This does not happen with 1.2.2.

no patches, no plugins, just vanilla 1.2.5-pre1

Greetings

Christoph

I have Nova-T card and I had similar problem too, I fixed it by adding few
lines to the runvdr script before the "su -c "$VDRCMD" $VDRUSR" line.

su -c /usr/bin/tzap channel_name &
sleep 5
$KILL /usr/bin/tzap

Without this modification I always get those errors, but now it works
every time. I have SuSE 8.2 installed and drivers are loaded via
/etc/sysconfig/kernel. VDR is started from /etc/init.d/rc3.d/.

This is really bad because you're patch works perfect
... the cur marks can be moved and the pictures will
be refreshed.  Btw: What's the reason of not allowing
PES data in the VIDEO_STILLPICTURE ioctl calls.

And is there a way to extend this VIDEO_STILLPICTURE ioctl
in such a way that it is backward compatible with ES
data?

this was the behaviour which I've seen sometime during cutting normal
VDR recordings.

Q: Would clearing of the drivers audio and video buffer help?

[ANNOUNCE]vdr-1.2.1-recordings_lenght.diff Patch

hi
This patch displays the lenght of each recording in the vdr-recording
list. I?m worry a long time ago because i doesnt know how long is a
recording. To check this i must start the reply of a recording
everytime. Use this Patch and enjoy ...

You will find the patch here (with a example picture):
http://privat.traffic-eye.de/projekte/vdr/

Its my first code for VDR. So please dont hit me ;)) if i have any
simple errors in my patch ;)
I have tested it against a plain vanilla 1.2.1 vdr without a present
elchi patch. But i think you shouldn?t get problems with it.

  Someone could set up a hotmail account, register it to mailing list,
post with the hotmail email address, and read the list with another
address or web archive and ignore all mail on the hotmail account.  I also
think that someones privacy concerns are his private problem.
