Filed it in the streamdev bugtracker.
thanks, till then i update to the recent CVS version
Concerning your syslog problem: There was a time when streamdev-cvs was not maintained at all. A few patches have been around to get it working with VDR 1.4 . Your streamdev used one of these patches (missing the german translation). Consider updating to a recent CVS version. It contains the translation and in the meantime some more bugfixes have been applied.
