Hi,

I have also currently the responsiveness problem. I have a P4 2.4GHz which runs at aout 20% load, so it should not be a performance problem.
Currently home-made lirc, vdr-xine and 1.4.1 (and that's why I haven't reported before you started complaining, as I have not had the energy to upgrade lately).
Earlier I had an ATI GFX card and used XV (with xine) for playback, and had not this problem. After switching to nVidia GeForce FX 5200, it started.
For me, the vdr watchdog helps, but it definitely is not a DVB-driver problem, as I have modified runvdr to _not_ to reload DVB drivers, as that never helps anything anyway.
Are you using xine's video output driver xxmc?
I experience deadlocks with this driver on either nVidia or Via EPIA hardware. For example, when you replay a recording and press the pause button: the pause symbol (OSD) will never appear on screen, input_vdr's RPC thread blocks forever, vdr-xine waits for the RPC result while VDR is caught in cXineOsd::Flush().
I'm working on this issue but still do not have a complete solution to it: the deadlock is gone, but the OSD is still not shown on screen.
Bye.
