Hi,
I have VDR 1.7.15 with two DVB-T budget cards and DXR3 video output..
I'm experiencing wierd lockups sometimes. I think there might be a hardware problem that really causes it, because even with earlier VDR versions I sometimes had "dead" dvb cards that needed a reboot to fix.. But this was easily fixed by "reboot" command in runvdr script, so the machine booted when vdr did emergency exit.
Anyway the current problem is that "emergency exit" doesn't really exit!

This is just repeated over and over, but it doesn't really exit. It actually needs "killall -9 vdr" to quit vdr, normal kill isn't enough.
What's interesting, DXR3 output is stuck showing "Kanava ei ole käytettävissä" (Channel can't be used?) on black screen, and remote control doesn't work either.. So VDR is probably stuck in some deadlock? It doesn't use very much CPU time though.
If I disable emergency exit, it simply stays stuck with dead remote and black screen etc. :)
It might be a dxr3 problem, or what do you think? On my earlier setup with VDR 1.4.x, the same "video data stream broken" resulted in clean emergency exit, no such deadlock..
