All plugins I have were built without the patch as it wasn't available for 2.0.6 at the time I upgraded to 2.0.6, and later when it became available I rebuilt only VDR with it. Looks like epgsearch took a hit that caused it to somehow start to emit these messages (as the thread ids in my logs and the occurrence every 30 minutes suggested), rebuilding it caused the messages to go away. Thanks a bunch, I'll go rebuild the rest of the plugins. Who knows, maybe this is also the reason for the EIT related crash I reported lately. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Cc'ing patch author (@Udo: see below). Hmmm, thats weired. I don't have such errors on my system, and even more strange, minimizing risks was one of the design goals of the patch, thats why the nalu filter is right before the disk writer, thus without an ongoing recording, the patch does nothing. The filter itself also makes sure that no data can be accidentally dropped, by only dropping TS packets that only contain FF bytes and only within nalu fill packets. Is this the original patch from my website? ( http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/naludump.html ) Are there any hints that this behavior started with a certain VDR version? Ok, some leaning out of the window: The patch adds an entry to config.h. The message origins from the config.h string DeviceBondings. Maybe not all parts of VDR (or plugins) were compiled against the patched config.h? This would cause an mis-aligned access to the string.

Re: [vdr] Invalid sat cable number errors
Hi, I had exactly the same errors on my VDR (2.1.6): ERROR: invalid sat cable number in '°$Q‘ In my case the „binary junk“ is always °$Q, and the message appears also in a 30 min interval. After deactivating/removing the naludump patch, I can’t find the messages in the logs anymore. But this is just a guess and I don’t know if this is really related….

What looks a little strange here is the gap between device number 3 and 9.
Maybe this causes some misbehavior in handling device bonding?
Dunno. I haven't told softhddevice to use any particular device number
nor do I know if it's possible to do that. I've just configured it to
set itself as the primary device.
But are "sat cable" and "device bonding" valid concepts on DVB-C in
the first place? The "sat" smells like DVB-S to me...
These are purely sat related.
I don't believe that the errors come from any tuning code, since actual
device bonding is only done for DVB-S devices (see cDvbDevice::Bond()).
Does this error occur if you make any changes to the setup?
Like changing the OSD language or anything else that would cause the
setup.conf file to be written.
