Hi, I have an up and running VDR 1.3.24. I have been trying to upgrade it to a newer version, but there is a feature/bug that prevents me from doing that. I have tried 1.3.34 and 1.3.37, but they seem not to run reliably.

These versions start perfectly, all functionality is working, but when I leave them running, they lose completely sound and picture after some hours. OSD and menus are still working and you can even watch recordings, but live-TV does not show. There is nothing unusual in the logs. Even restart of VDR does not help - you have to reboot the whole computer.

This does not happen with 1.3.24. I have not tried the versions between 1.3.24 and 1.3.34.

My configuration:

0000:00:12.0 Multimedia controller: Sigma Designs, Inc. REALmagic Hollywood Plus DVD Decoder (rev 02) 0000:00:13.0 Network controller: Techsan Electronics Co Ltd B2C2 FlexCopII DVB chip / Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card (rev 02)

Both em8300 and skystar2 have their own interrupts.

DVB drivers are compiled as modules from a custom 2.6.14 kernel and dxr3 modules from em8300-0.15.1:

Module Size Used by adv717x 7092 0 b2c2_flexcop_pci 6360 15 b2c2_flexcop 25836 1 b2c2_flexcop_pci dvb_core 75880 1 b2c2_flexcop mt352 6244 1 b2c2_flexcop bcm3510 10084 1 b2c2_flexcop stv0299 10888 1 b2c2_flexcop nxt2002 8868 1 b2c2_flexcop stv0297 7968 1 b2c2_flexcop mt312 7876 1 b2c2_flexcop em8300 66460 8

VDR startup command:

./vdr --config=/home/VDRrun --epg=/home/VDRrun/epg.data --watchdog=60 --lib=./PLUGINS/lib --video=/home/movies/video -Pdxr3 -Posdteletext -Psubtitles -P"vdrcd -m /home/VDRrun/mount.sh -c /mnt/cdrom" -Ptext2skin

Plugin versions dxr3 0.2.4 osdteletext 0.5.1 subtitles 0.3.8 vdrcd 0.0.10.1 text2skin CVS

I have tried this both with export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 and without. There is no difference. Any idea what is wrong here?
