I recently (more on that below) started experiencing a strange problem with vdr 1.4.5-1 and vdr-xine 0.7.6+network patches: while replaying a recording (either against a local copy of vdr or over the network) the only command that acts immediately is pause, every other one (skip one minute, ff, rew, stop) takes effect after a delay of 5-6 seconds, so, e.g., if I go back to the recordings menu, playback will still go on for 5-6 seconds. This wouldn't be such a big problem if it wasn't for teletext subtitles, since they appear 5-6 seconds earlier (i.e. the osd is instantaneous while the replay is lagging 5 seconds).
The strange thing is that this didn't happen before, the only change is the laptop (but with the same hard disk: 3 months ago my laptop broke, I was given a similar one in which installed the old hard disk. Meanwhile I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.17, using the replacement laptop, with no problems, until now, when I got my repaired laptop back and this problem appeared). The main difference between the 2 laptops is the video card: the current one has a mobility/radeon 9000 and 1400x1050 resolution, while the replacement one had an intel chipset, 1024x768. I upgraded vdr while using the replacement laptop, but I'm pretty sure I maintained the same version of vdr-xine all the time.

I have the same problem with xineliboutput (xvdr:tcp://). I don't remember when it all started but I don't think is related to xine. This is just a guess, but it may be related to the problem with recordings. When xine...... plugins worked OK I could record up to 5 channels in the same time. Now I can olny record 2 and the OSD has long delays after I start them (this is without using xineliboutput, only local display from FF card)
