Hello,
I have a problem with my VDR setup. I didn't record anything in a long time (since 1.3.x was in use, then everything was ok) and just recently realised I have a problem. Anything I record get's splited into numerous pieces (like VDR is recording every frame into diffrent file)... so when I try to playback a recording I don't get smooth playback but something like slow motion.
To check some plugin is not the cause of this, I started VDR with only xine plugin enabled and tried to record something. Same thing happened.
Could it be that I have some wrong settings in my config file (I didn't changed practicly anything since I've used 1.3.x). Can someone pinpoint what could be the problem?
I'm using VDR 1.4.7 with xine plugin 0.7.10 (xine-lib 1.1.3). I have a dish with two LNBs (pointed at 19.2E and 13E). regular diseqc switch. I'm using the same kernel/drivers for a long time (2.6.18), so nothing changed there. Only thing that was changed are VDR versions, I've applied patches as they got announced on this list
My diseqc settings look like this: S19.2E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F0] W15 A W15 t ... S13.0E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F4] W15 B W15 t ...
If someone would help me, please tell me if you need more information, thank you.
I have changed Setup - Recordings: Default Priority value, it was 50 I have increased it and now everything works ok.
Sorry for making noise on the group with nonsense.

VDR does split files, but usually after 2gb, or at least 100mb. If you get very small fragments, then VDR was stopping and restarting the recording permanently, and the syslog probably gives more hints whats going on.

This has nothing to do with file splitting, and has probably nothing to do with the problem disappearing. This priority only decides what to record if several recordings at the same time are not possible.
