[vdr] AW: Re: AW: Re: Audio+Video getting out ouf sync while replaying?
Hmm,
I'm using DVB drivers from 2002/02/20 and VDR Version 0.99 but it
crashed already with DVB drivers from 2002/02/02 and VDR Version
0.99pre4.
I got only one DVB-s card in a P2-350 with 64 MB RAM (not very much
but...$$) and WD 20GB.
Greetz.

Hi,
I have a 4 DVB system running all time and I have noticed ARM crashes
only very seldom even I use it very intensiv. There was a time from
October till the beginning of january were there was not one crash.
Since january I have about one crash a week.
The most stable version was the DVB Treiber 20010817 combined with
VDR-0.94.
Emil
Currently I use dvb-20011117 combined with vdr-99pre4.
