Hello,
I upgraded VDR from 1.6.0 to 1.7.7 (including DVB drivers). The VDR is running and working correctly as I can say this after 30 minutes of testing.
But I get this strange error message each second after startup of VDR:
ERROR (dvbdevice.c,762): Bad file descriptor
syslog output:

I assume your system has no real primary device for replay, right?
I'll add a check for fd_video being a valid file handle to this function.
You can put
if (fd_video >= 0) { ... }
around the code that uses fd_video.

What do you mean with "primary device"? I use a Hauppauge Nova-S-Plus DVB-S card (it's the only DVB card in the system).
Thanks for the code.
regards Martin

The "primary device" is the one your tv set is connected to. It actually replays live tv and recordings. If you only have budget cards and don't use this system for live viewing or replaying, these error messages should be gone with the checks I mentioned. I've added them for the next version.
