I have noticed that when I mount a samba drive on my vdr box and play mp3's with vdr from it, vdr will often lockup and require a restart. But, the strange thing about this is that this only happens when using the mpeg decoder on the FF card. If I use vdr-xine as the playback method with my FF card, then vdr never locks up when playing mp3's over the samba drive. Would there happen to be a buffer that needs to be increased? The lockup always occurs when a new mp3 is just about to start.
Best Regards.

Which background mode does you use? If it's "image", try to use "black". There is still some bug in firmware which causes the stillpicture ioctl to look up.

The backgroundmode was the Problem I reported a few days ago. If I switch to Livemode everything works nearly ok. Remember: If I use backgroundmode black, I cannot navigate back in the playlists and the first two seconds were skipped of every track . In livemode the first two seconds were skipped but nothing of the other tracks. This Problem did not exist with the previous firmware.
Thanks Halim

I'm seeing the same thing you are telling me. Seems like another firmware bug.

Thanks for the suggestion. So the problem is within the firmware it seems. I have been using the "image" option as the background to display the album art. Lets see what happens when I turn that off.
Best Regards.
