Searching for this error found numerous posts on the mailing list from old releases, but nothing recent so I wanted to query it again...
I've recently started seeing quite a few instances of a vdr throwing this error (ERROR: video data stream broken) and then initiating an emergency exit. I'm not sure what exactly has caused this. I recently upgraded to the v3.0.3 stable kernel, and also to the latest vdr development snapshot 1.7.21, but I'm not sure if those could be related or whether it is more likely to be hardware-related (e.g. a failing tuner)?
Rather than having VDR emergency exit on this error, is it possible to have it just continue? I have three tuners in my system and I assume this error has simply been thrown by one of them, so even if that tuner has now become unusable (without a reload of the kernel module) VDR should still be able to continue running with the remaining tuners?
