I think there is a problem with your patch. There is a reason for the priority -1. Imagine you have a channel which can only be received by one card and this card is used for transfer-mode. When you want to switch to this channel, the transfer-mode has, with your patch, e.g priority 0. But the new transfer-mode would have the same priority (but not a higher), so there would be no free device (channel not available). So when searching for a free device, vdr should consider that the device, which is used for transfer-mode, could be free, if transfer-mode for the current channel has ended. Thomas
