[vdr] Re: VDR.098 vs. VDR.099

["Robert Schneider" <Robert.Schneider@de.ibm.com>]

I'm doing it the same way. When I switched from 0.98 to 0.99 I actually 
changed three things (a bad thing to do, I know).
1. moved from driver 27.09. to 17.11.
2. moved from vdr 0.98 to 0.99
3. added a lot of radio channels to my channels.conf
I'm now in the process of undoing things step by step to find out what 
caused the problem
Somehow, I'm getting that feeling that the bad channel switching on 
encrypted channels (which, at my system means doing transfer mode) has 
something to do with the MP3 stuff. Since we moved into "Adventszeit" 
we're listing to "Weihnachtsmusik" which is MP3 in my case and the bad 
channel switching seems to appear whenever I had MP3 files running.

I'm investigating, I will come back when I found the cause.

Happy, happy Christmas to all of you,

Robert
