Hi everybody,

as already described here:

http://openelec.tv/forum/71-pvr-live-tv/...vdr-freeze

I have this situation with openElec 3.2.4 + VNSI + VDR:

I'm using openElec on a Zotac Box and I have VDR running at an Ubuntu Server in the same LAN, they both are connected to a 1GB/s switch. In openElec I installed, configured and activated the VNSI PVR - Addon from the openeElec repos and at the VDR - Server side the VNSI Plugin is running.
These are the versions:

Code:
openElec: OpenELEC Stable - ION x86_64 3.2.4
VDR: vdr (2.0.3/2.0.0) - The Video Disk Recorder
XBMC VNSI Addon: 1.6.4
VDR - VNSI - Plugin: vnsiserver3 (0.9.1) - VDR-Network-Streaming-Interface (VNSI) Server

Now here's my problem:
I use openElec for lets say 1-2 hours without using Live-TV functionalities at all, just listen to music for example. Then I stop the music and want to watch Live-TV. Therefore in "Live - TV/Channels" I choose a channel, the preview box right of the channel list becomes transparent (one can see the background image) as it always becomes short before showing the Live-TV program, I can hear the Live-TV sound for app. 10-20 secs and then XBMC freezes completely, no audio any more and one can not navigate in the menus or use the UI at all. You can see exactly this situation in the "screenshot" below. The only chances then are to connect to the box via SSH and send a "kill -9" to the xbmc.bin process or hardly power off the box. After XBMC has been restarted (automatically after the kill or the box booted up again) I can directly choose a Live-TV channel and everything works fine.

Here the logs from XBMC and VDR at such a freezing:
XBMC:

OK, I'll give it a try... just built a .deb from Opdenkamps current vdr-plugin-vnsiserver (vnsiserver5; 0.9.4) in git and installed it on my server, VDR still running and now using vnsiserver5 Wink
When I'm at home I will try this OpenElec on my Zotac Box and report my experiences:
