In VDR's EPG menu press the red button.

I've set this to 1 on my test system and after 60 minutes, an EPG scan
kicks in. The EPIA VDR is set to 3 and there is no problem to watch
movies with a length of 150 minutes.
@tony:
If you are a little bit familar with debugging, I'd suggest to apply the
following patch to vdr-xine-0.7.6's xineDevice.c:
This let's VDR crash when a SetPlayMode(0) happens, but only if the last
SetPlayMode() call was more than 30 minutes in the past.
To get a usefull backtrace, make sure that VDR and all plugins are
compiled with the -g compiler switch. If you want to have useful
variable values in the backtrace, switch off optimizing with -O0. I
compile my VDR test system with -g3 -O0.
You may enable the creation of coredumps with
ulimit -Sc unlimited
Then use a debugger to analyze the coredump, e. g. for ddd:
ddd /path/to/vdr /path/to/core
From the menu select the backtrace window and have a look at the call
stack.
Bye.

I've tried that now, but that yields different results. Indeed, after pressing
the red button, the NO SIGNAL appears, but pressing channel up or down, the
signal will appear again. I don't need to restart vdr in this case, which I
need when the NO SIGNAL screen appears accidentally. So, my problem must
still be different.
Best regards,
Maarten
