[vdr] Re: vdr-0.98:no video device found, giving up

[Karlheinz.Pischke@t-online.de (Karlheinz Pischke)]

Error messages stays the same.

btw: I'm calling vdr:
/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/VDR/vdr -v ~/videos -c ~/.vdr -E
~/.vdr/epg.data -l 3   
and I did NOT upgrade the files in  ~/.vdr: 
   setup.conf channels.conf timers.conf keys-pc.conf
Are there changes in e.g. setup.conf ???

Sorry, you are right if I would have changed to
//     else if (errno != ENODEV && errno != EINVAL)
     else
        LOG_ERROR_STR(FileName);
instead
//     else if (errno != ENODEV && errno != EINVAL)
//        LOG_ERROR_STR(FileName);
it would have worked the first time.
