Hi, first of all:
Sorry, I am new to this list, and I hope that my issue still has not been
discussed within the last weeks. The problem: I am
not able to get my SS2 working stable with VDR (as posted e.g. at http://www.vdrportal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=8401&sid=c2c3fb611956955700755ef15a50c8e1&hilight=skystar2&hilightuser=0). I already got some working recordings, but after having the
PC run for several days (heat problem?), I get the message “video data
stream broken” when I try to record from the SS2. Then, VDR is being
restarted and the driver is being reloaded, but this does not help: VDR tries
to continue the recording, but the driver still fails. As there have
been patches against some SS2 problems recently, I downloaded the CVS drivers
from 06.12.2003 but they did not solve my problems (I previously had the
drivers from beginning of november). Hasn´t the mentioned patch from 28.11.2003
by Wolfgang Thiel not been applied to the CVS (haven´t tried this one yet as I
read about it first some minutes ago)? Is this patch mentioned worth trying? Here is what I
get when the driver is being loaded: Dec 7 18:32:34
