The file handles are released every time. If you look at the implementation of cDvbDevice::GetVideoSystem() you will see, that the return value vsPAL is the default. If the ioctl() fails, you get this value regardless of what actualy is played. > I want only get the rich eVideoSystem from vdr without a patch and > not implement all for myself. This is currently impossible. May be it could be a solution, to not only close the file handles on pmEXTERN but reopen them in read-only mode. I don't know if mplayer will work with that fine. And I don't know if Klaus is going to accept patches in this area. Regards. -- Stefan Huelswitt s.huelswitt@xxxxxx | http://www.muempf.de/
