Hi,

I am trying to set up a vdr with softdevice 0.5.0 (dfb) and vdr 1.6. Vdr and softdevice compile fine but when I start vdr I get osd and audio and no video. The channels I want to see are dvb-t, no hd. I did not see any error in logs. I remember have this problem few time ago but any mailing list or google search helped me to remember what is the problem and the solution.

Thank you!.

I put here the vdr output to help you know what is happening:
