It is much better now. We had a GSoC project improving the DVB code in GStreamer. I have a small test file with not much lines of code that records a whole program (incl. all audio languages and teletext). The problem I have right now is that there is a deadlock on stop somewhere we can not find. So there is much going on in that area. >> >> 1.

Like I wrote above: better record the whole channel. Soenke had the problem once that the German audio pid suddenly changed to 'German for blind' with someone talking in the background what you see. The normal German audio channel was on a new pid. This sucks and can only be avoided if we record everything and choose later. Dischi -- Don't play stupid with me - I'm better at it!
