Starting vdr works fine "Basic" functions are also working fine zapping, recording etc... Accessing the menu -> system -> Gentoo-VDR-Setup -> VDR-Settings -> OSD works Navigating up and down within OSD-Menu (also changing values) works Jumping out of OSD-Menu (pressing back-button): *BOOM*/*CRASH* (no suspicious syslog-output - see below) After that I deleted /etc/vdr/setup.conf and restarted vdr Now it crashes when entering the OSD-Menu (not when leaving it!!!) After restarting vdr (not deleting the just before vdr-generated setup.conf) again the OSD-Menu is accessible but vdr crashes when leaving OSD-Menu... Short summary: deleting setup.conf, restarting vdr, accessing OSD-menu -> crash! restarting vdr, (not deleting the just before vdr-internal-created setup.conf), accessing OSD-menu works -> leaving OSD-Menu -> crash! and so on and so on... On my system this behaviour/crash is reproduciable any time! Could it be that the reason is a problem regarding vdr-setup plugin in conjunction with "BIGPATCH"? I had no time to verify this behaviour against a vdr compiled without the USE-Flag "bigpatch". But when there is a problem regarding setup-plugin and bigpatch in my opinion a possible starting point for further investigations perhabs can be found here: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?postid=423634#post423634 Some "misc" information are follwing beyond this point... Please let me know whether I should provide more informations for you.

yeah bad thing :( on my first try an my VDR, he crashed to. But on any repeads it works without problems. I need any tests to find the problem. On "-bigpatch" systems, it works whithout problems (reported by zzam). ## setting LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 is only a debug line, you dont use nptl will fixed to a better info line in comming version. There is no proplem.
Hi Daniel, You have gone the wrong way to generate a new setup.conf . At first you have to stop the VDR and then remove the setup.conf . If you remove the setup.conf on runtime, it will generate a setup.conf with the same parameters with that have you started (setup.conf is in VDR cache) on stop. In next Days comes a new VDR-1.3.44 with vdr-setup-0.3.1 in Depend. There will be the same Problem with the setup.conf, looks like vdr-setup have Problems with unknow Parameters in setup.conf. Plz, add comment, if it's work. BR Joerg
Daniel, Plz give feedback is this problem still if you have updated your VDR to 1.4. When this Problems comes again, plz stop VDR and remove the setup.conf. On start will VDR creats a new setup.conf wiht default parameters. Feedback Plz. Joerg

The bug concerning the mentioned compile-errors have been resolved - thanks! But with 1.4 and after rebuilding any plugins I can't access the Setup-Menu at all (it's not shown any more "Main->System->Setup" is missing?!?). So I un-emerged "vdr-setup-plugin", disabled USE-Flag "setup-plugin", re-emerged vdr 1.4 and rebuild all plugins used. Now the setup-menu is included into the main-menu again. In the meantime I gave up using setup-plugin - sorry! Many thanks for your concentrated efforts regarding vdr-ebuild - everything else works like really fine for me! Thanks a lot! Cheers Daniel
Will try to find the real problem with more infos; @ Daniel If you don't use the setup-plugin, you can remove the /etc/vdr/plugins/setup DIR.This will fix the Problem: > Now the setup-menu is included into the main-menu again. The DIR will not removed automatical on install ( config-protect ) I will add a line to inform the user on unmerge in the ebuild. Joerg
