Yes, it's a known problem reported only in xineliboutput setups: somehow
"cDevice::ActualDevice()->CardIndex()" returns invalid values. I cannot
reproduce this error in my FF card setup, so I'm just blaming
xineliboutput for messing up VDR's devices and haven't had any efforts
to debug it further. :)


Thanks for letting me know. The results from femon on the console
weren't too enlightening so I'll try the linux-dvb mailing list.

Xineliboutput 1.0.0rc2: http://phivdr.dyndns.org/vdr/vdr-xineliboutput/

hi,

you could try to use femon (the console application) in the dvb-utils 
package.

receive the following error when trying to view the signal information
of my recording server via my streaming only client.

ERROR: cFemonOsd::Show() cannot open frontend device.

Is this a known problem or is there something more I need to configure
for my specific setup?

[I need Femon to investigate dvb-t signal issues:- with vdr running
the signal to my old freeview settop box is degraded to an unusable
level. Signal from common aerial is being split with a "1 in 2 out"
signal amplifier. There's a 25m cable to the vdr server and a 12m
cable to the set top box.]

Any advice gladly received!
