Klaus Hi Klaus, Commented out that line at line no 1442 in tools.c, and recompiled. No better. If I pause live video then restart it starts in slo-mo i.e. judders, and then eventually freezes, but may then start again, still juddering …. and freezing … Well, then I have no idea why it wouldn't work with an NTFS partition, while it does work with others.

Klaus Hi Klaus, I have similar problems using a NFS share under some circumstances: The general problem is that the index file stops growing after a few seconds, while the 1.ts file growing normaly. 1. Using a local HDD with ReiserFS for recording, everything works well. 2. Using NFS V3 with the mount options tcp,hard,sync the index file stops growing. 3. Using NFS V3 with the mount options tcp,soft,async the index file keeps growing. I was happy figured that out, but there seems to be another problem. While having heavy network load this problem occurs again. An example: Cutting a movie on my NFS share, while recording a new movie to the same NFS share causes in the same problem, the index file stops growing. And... it does not start growing again, after the cutting has finished. This means that I have to stop/start the recording to get a correct index file again. Could it be possible, that the process which is writing the index dies in some kind? I've never had a problem like this in older VDR versions, and I often do cutting and recording at the same time. BTW: Is the a way to (re)create a new index file for TS like genvdr for VDR file did? -Günter -- This message was scanned by ESVA and is believed to be clean. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
