OK. I think I have nutted out the below problem. I removed the -dvbin card=2 from the VCR_CMD and it appears to work in both directions now. I dont understand why.. perhaps mplayer has a built in function to use the free dvb card by default.
For the purpose of logging I will say that this is fixed. I will monitor it over the next few days and post an update if required. -Justin P.S. On another upside, I have finally got xine doing the correct aspect when using non widescreen resolutions on a widescreen TV. Setting DisplaySize on xorg.conf didnt work, but using the -f flag in xine combined with starting freevo as 'freevo -fs' did the trick. I have also modified events.py and xine.py to give aspect remote control function for xine through freevo (if anyone is interested). The same thing could be done for mplayer too I suspect. -Justin On Thu, 2006-09-21 at 23:29 +0800, Justin wrote: > Hi, > > I have been happy with the below fix to enable stimultaneous recording > and watching of dual DVB.
