Hi Marc, I pasted the output over here: http://pastebin.com/8eMsEuMf It looks that it can't find the files to patch. Maybe the patch was not compatible with Gentoo? It would be great if you could send an updated ebuild to 1.7.22 :-) I really miss the days when i updated my vdr on every release.. Now i have been stuck with 1.6.x for ages.. Do you think that it would be possible to add the livebuffer-patch back to the official gentoo overlay? Even better if it could be added as a basic feature of vdr (that could be turned on/off from the settings :-) Klaus? Please, please, please :-) Regards, René ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Please, please, please :-) There was talk of this some time ago, though I don't think anything solid came of it. I personally am not interested in it unless ram came be used for the buffer storage. Having a harddrive (or even worse, an ssd) in a constant write state 24/7 is not something I'd like to do.
