- locate the file that contains the error message:


  kls@hawk2:/home/kls/vdr/VDR > grep "nknown picture ty" *.c
  remux.c:                           esyslog("ERROR: unknown picture type '%d'", pt);


- edit that file and change the lines


                        if (pt < I_FRAME || B_FRAME < pt)
                           esyslog("ERROR: unknown picture type '%d'", pt);

# watches syslog for "picture type" errors detected by vdr

# vdr is killed with signal 9, to trigger a restart.
# i suggest editing your runvdr to unload/reload the driver
# at least twice to reduce the likeliness of a susequent 
# error.

# it is known, that this error is printed to syslog many times, 
# and syslog accumulates these messages by printing the error
# once and stating how many times it was repearted, this 
# (slightly uncontrolable) effect prevents, that heavy 
# zapping triggers the restart too early (never for me),
# yet still the error was cought allways in time for my 
# recordings.
