There is no data being put into the ringbuffer.
I don't know wha that is, but in that case it's no wonder your
plugin's PlayVidoe() is never called.
I believe you also wrote that any recordings you make are of 0 length.
Are you sure your Nova-S is receiving anything at all?
No, I'm not, concerning VDR. But xine's dvb input plugin or szap in
combination with xine supply a proper picture.
