I'm not sure where 'nice' is being called - and this error doesn't occur if run as 'root'. Will have to see what I get, when I'm local to the machine again and can see the picture. I still have problems - and a recording doesn't write any data to 001.vdr....but at least the plugin's doing something now.
This is where I left it and gave up. Hopefully someone can solve this problem for you. I didn't have the issue with the -hq switch.
