I'd suggest that you hg bisect in order to find the exact hg commit which caused the regression. Since I don't use xine for dvb, I fear that I cannot help you with that. > I am working with a small not yet released self-built TCL/TK/Iwidgets-4.0 > project using time-shifting: dvbstream records something, then the system > sleeps a couple of seconds, then the player starts to play back the recorded > material.

No, it was in experimental because the new version was not fit for the 'etch' release. Since lenny is not frozen yet, new upstream versions are fine for 'unstable'. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 |
