To solve that problem we need to modify these functions and avoid using file descriptors:

int cDevice::OpenFilter(u_short Pid, u_char Tid, u_char Mask); void cDevice::CloseFilter(int Handle);

Does any body have suggestions about the best way to implement this.

We had the same problem with NetCeiver-plugin (full DVB-device emulation over network). Everything is vdr is nicely abtracted and then there are suddenly file handles instead of get-functions :-(

We've solved this issue by using pipes (Unix-sockets). This probably works also on Windows...

You can have a look in filter.c of https://svn.baycom.de/repos/vdr-mcli-plugin/
