I'm not 100% sure that this was the problem, I've not upgraded Python on my test box and recording is now fine. The plug-in that I use does write a lot to stderr. Are you using mplayer to capture DVB streams, if so then mplayer tends to write to stderr at the start up. > Anyway, now (after upgrading) the recording works as expected! :-) So long as it is fixed then we're happy. > But now I have the shutdown problem you were talking about. :-( Do you have the mpd plug-ins activated?
