I have noticed that when I mount a samba drive on my vdr box and play mp3's with vdr from it, vdr will often lockup and require a restart.  But, the strange thing about this is that this only happens when using the mpeg decoder on the FF card.  If I use vdr-xine as the playback method with my FF card, then vdr never locks up when playing mp3's over the samba drive.  Would there happen to be a buffer that needs to be increased?  The lockup always occurs when a new mp3 is just about to start.
 
Best Regards.
