Hi, today two recordings failed with the error "video data stream broken" -- that's not the problem; after reloading the driver and restarting vdr the recording is continued. But I thougt using runvdr to start vdr that would be done automatically after an emergency exit? Here it wasn't so, I had to restart driver and vdr manually. Do I misunderstand the function of runvdr or is that an error in runvdr? Sorry if that's a silly question... Ansgar Jonietz.
