Very impressive! Doing all that as a plugin is some smart plugin interface usage! For a VDR internal method things would get easier, no need to pre-allocate dummies. Cleaning up the mess however is not as easy. How did you solve the case that a device disappears while being used? If this happens for a recording, then VDR would terminate with a VDSB, or? Do you silently switch the device to another resource? Cheers, Udo _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
