I have been running vdr 1.4 version with rather good success for some time now, but now all of a sudden I have started getting almost continuous restarting of vdr.
In system log I get only this: Aug 23 09:31:11 sempron vdr: [16318] ERROR: video data stream broken Aug 23 09:31:11 sempron vdr: [16318] initiating emergency exit Aug 23 09:31:12 sempron vdr: [16278] emergency exit requested - shutting down Aug 23 09:31:12 sempron lircd-0.8.0[5959]: removed client Aug 23 09:31:14 sempron vdr: [16278] emergency exit! Aug 23 09:31:15 sempron vdrwatchdog[16327]: initializing full VDR restart
I have the system running now with log level 3 which perhaps gives more information. Any quick suggestions on this problem?
I have tried already setting EPG updates to setting 0 which was suggested on one web page, but it didn't seem to help me. Program still keeps crashing on recording starts and endings. Also it keeps saying that VPS recording caused this restart even though none of my recording are set to use VPS.

Gentoo package version of vdr is media-video/vdr-1.4.1-r2 and only use flag for it is subtitles.
Hope someone has a suggestion. Here is a log level 3 messages output while software dies: Aug 23 10:01:08 sempron vdr: [19710] ERROR: video data stream broken Aug 23 10:01:08 sempron vdr: [19710] initiating emergency exit Aug 23 10:01:08 sempron vdr: [19670] emergency exit requested - shutting down Aug 23 10:01:08 sempron vdr: [19670] stopping plugin: mplayer Aug 23 10:01:08 sempron vdr: [19670] stopping plugin: screenshot Aug 23 10:01:08 sempron vdr: [19670] stopping plugin: timeline Aug 23 10:01:08 sempron vdr: [19670] stopping plugin: femon Aug 23 10:01:08 sempron vdr: [19670] stopping plugin: osdteletext Aug 23 10:01:08 sempron vdr: [19670] stopping plugin: subtitles Aug 23 10:01:08 sempron vdr: [19711] recording thread ended (pid=19711, tid=19711) Aug 23 10:01:08 sempron vdr: [19713] TS buffer on device 2 thread ended (pid=19713, tid=19713) Aug 23 10:01:08 sempron vdr: [19712] buffer stats: 87796 (4%) used Aug 23 10:01:08 sempron vdr: [19712] receiver on device 2 thread ended (pid=19712, tid=19712) Aug 23 10:01:08 sempron vdr: [19710] file writer thread ended (pid=19710, tid=19710) Aug 23 10:01:08 sempron vdr: [19670] buffer stats: 88172 (1%) used Aug 23 10:01:08 sempron vdr: [19670] timer 1 (1 0913-1016 'Puutarhaetsivät') stop Aug 23 10:01:08 sempron vdr: [19670] executing '/usr/share/vdr/bin/vdrrecord-gate.sh after "/video/Puutarhaetsivät/2006-08-23.09.13.50.99.rec"' Aug 23 10:01:08 sempron vdr: [19670] saved setup to /video/vdr/setup.conf Aug 23 10:01:08 sempron vdr: [19691] tuner on device 1 thread ended (pid=19691, tid=19691) Aug 23 10:01:08 sempron lircd-0.8.0[5959]: removed client Aug 23 10:01:08 sempron vdr: [19698] receiver on device 1 thread ended (pid=19698, tid=19698) Aug 23 10:01:08 sempron vdr: [19692] section handler thread ended (pid=19692, tid=19692) Aug 23 10:01:09 sempron vdr: [19694] tuner on device 2 thread ended (pid=19694, tid=19694) Aug 23 10:01:09 sempron vdr: [19695] section handler thread ended (pid=19695, tid=19695) Aug 23 10:01:09 sempron vdr: [19670] deleting plugin: mplayer Aug 23 10:01:09 sempron vdr: [19670] deleting plugin: screenshot Aug 23 10:01:09 sempron vdr: [19670] deleting plugin: timeline Aug 23 10:01:09 sempron vdr: [19670] deleting plugin: femon Aug 23 10:01:09 sempron vdr: [19670] deleting plugin: osdteletext Aug 23 10:01:09 sempron vdr: [19670] buffer stats: 0 (0%) used Aug 23 10:01:09 sempron vdr: [19670] deleting plugin: subtitles Aug 23 10:01:09 sempron vdr: [19670] ===================== Aug 23 10:01:09 sempron vdr: [19670] EPG bugfix statistics Aug 23 10:01:09 sempron vdr: [19670] ===================== Aug 23 10:01:09 sempron vdr: [19670] IF SOMEBODY WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THE EPG DATA FOR ONE OF THE LISTED Aug 23 10:01:09 sempron vdr: [19670] CHANNELS READS THIS: PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE FUNCTION cEvent::FixEpgBugs() Aug 23 10:01:09 sempron vdr: [19670] IN VDR/epg.c TO LEARN WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR DATA, AND FIX IT!
