Another problem with crashing occurs when you are watching something with the mplayer plugin and a timer is triggered. Results in a crash every time here. I don't understand why it happens though because playing something like a .avi doesn't (or shouldn't) require the tuner to be in use... You're playing a file, not something from the dvb stream!
I noticed kind of the same problem in 1.4.x. As far as I can remember VDR crashed not just when a timer started but also when the timer was about to be completed. Anyway, I'm not exactly sure how I got rid off it since I've changed a lot of settings since then, but I think it has something to do with the DVB setting "Update channels" - even though I couldn't find any correlation when I checked the sources. Try setting "Update channels" to "no" and see if VDR still crashes while using mplayer when a timer starts.
