I guess you missed the correct "setting" which fixes that bug: You bought a second DVB card. _VDR_ crashes when starting a timer while mplayer-Plugin is running. That's because vdr had to close the device to let mplayer open it. When the recording starts, vdr tries to open the device but fails: -> emergency restart -> close mplayer-Plugin -> quit mplayer.
Well, maybe a second DVB card fixes the problem, but this surely wasn't what helped me. When I started with VDR half a year ago with one FF card, I had this trouble with timers/mplayer but then I changed some stuff during the time (settings, DVB drivers, newer mplayer version etc.) the problem was gone for good for months now. And I bought a second DVB card just two weeks ago. :)
Hmm I really thought it had something to do with anything I changed within VDR's DVB settings.
