Hi! (I'm still on 1.7.19 so forgive me if this already has been solved...) I just got a report that starting vdr without setup.conf crashes in isnumber(Setup.InitialChannel) called from main() so I came up with this bandaid fix: --- vdr.c.orig +++ vdr.c @@ -735,6 +735,8 @@ int main(int argc, char *argv[]) if (!cDevice::WaitForAllDevicesReady(DEVICEREADYTIMEOUT)) dsyslog("not all devices ready after %d seconds", DEVICEREADYTIMEOUT); + if (((const char *)Setup.InitialChannel) == NULL) + Setup.InitialChannel = "0"; if (isnumber(Setup.InitialChannel)) { // for compatibility with old setup.conf files if (cChannel *Channel = Channels.GetByNumber(atoi(Setup.InitialChannel))) Setup.InitialChannel = Channel->GetChannelID().ToString(); Is that ok or should cSetup::cSetup(void) in config.c be changed, it doesn't initialize InitialChannel, there only is a comment: // InitialChannel is initialized by constructor Thanx, Juergen _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
