Hello,
since the upgrade to VDR version 1.6.0 the entire system will randomly freeze when using multiple instances of VDR. This issue could be reproduced by using the commandline switch -D to specify the DVB devices.
Unfortunately there are no logs which could identify the problem .. it only freezes.
Example: * vdr = "-D 0 -D 1" * vdrdevel = "-D 2 -D 3"
I am running the very latest version from e-tobi (multipatch). vdrdevel is the same version as vdr, but repacked by using the buildpackage option SPECIAL_VDR_SUFFIX=devel. Using the older 1.5.13 setup with the same hardware (4x cinergy c ~ mantis) is working like charm.
I don't think it is a driver / module problem, because running a single VDR instance with all devices attached to it won't crash. But when starting one instance which is only using two devices, the system will freeze .. even if there's no other vdr process running.
Regards, Matthias
