I've been using the same 1.4.7 setup for over 2 years and thought I'd dip my toe in the 1.7.x world. I'm using Ubuntu dapper (mid 2006) so my DVB kernel/header setup is still at API level 3, hence I've been using Udo Richter's S2API wrapper.
Compile was ok, but even trying the simplest setup of "./vdr -Pdvbsddevice" I'm unable to get a picture or OSD through the FF card. Is this supposed to work with the S2API patches, or are those purely for input only?

Of course, device 2 VLSI VES1820 DVB-C definitely does have an MPEG decoder? Do I really need to upgrade the OS to use newer VDR?
I tried both the existing dvb-ttpci-01.fw and the new TS-enabled one, with the same results.
Cheers, Gavin.
