[vdr] EPG Question (concerning BBC3 and BBC4)
Hi, BBC3 and BBC4 only start to show programs at 19:00 UK time. My EPG for these programs comes via the internet. If I try to look at the EPG for those channels before 19:00, then they are not even shown in the list of programs I have EPG for on the OSD. I assume this is a desired behaviour of VDR. If so, any way to change it? I didn't find anyway in the Menus. Cheers Brian ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I use the following method: - grab the EPG from the radio times site with xmltv - feed vdr with xmltv2vdr - vdr updates on the fly EPG data for changed times And I use vdradmin rather than the OSD so you see the timelines of 3 and 4 starting at 7. Before then you do have ceebeebies and the other kids channel onn the same frequency Cheers Tony -- ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
[vdr] burn plugin fails at growisofs

Re: [vdr] to record or not
Well, I would actually prefer it built in to vdr. Heck, I'd prefer that vdr's on screen EPG was as nice as yaepgs. I suggested the reminder belong in a plugin because the record timer in yaepg is more advanced / user friendly than the one built in to vdr. I may be mistaken on this--I am new to vdr and linux-- but I thought that yaepg was using its own timer features and not simply providing a nice front end GUI for a vdr function, and it also seems most people use a plugin such as yaepg. However, I agree it would be beneficial for this to be a part of vdr. So if yaepg is simply calling vdr's record timer when you go to a program and click OK to schedule a recording, then it should be fixed in vdr. But I also know that Klaus is busy with many other planned features, and that vdr, while usable on a clean install, really needs lots of plugins to make it work more like a set top box. I too was surprised there was no reminder. I am also surprised at the poor search epg features, as these seem basic and easy to implement. It makes absolutely no sense for a reminder feature to be done via plugin. This is a very common and basic feature offered in most dvb-c and dvb-s receivers. Honestly, I was surprised to find out vdr didn't already have it implemented because it -is- such a basic function. Logically I don't see it anywhere else other than the core code. I'm not sure why you mention yaepg as that's just an alternate means to view guide data. Yaepg has nothing to do with timer functionality or reminders. Maybe you could elaborate more on how you came to your opinion on this? ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Re: [vdr] [RFC] Shutdown rewrite for 1.5.x
Peter Dittmann wrote: How about a new two level inactivity timeout ? After VDR starts the inactivity timeout uses a first short timeout (e.g. 5min) assuming that VDR has automaticly being started. Actually, even in worst case you'll see the 5-minute-countdown, so you already have enough time to become interactive. Last but not least I would personally wish for an new anti-timeout-plugin that would block VDR from shutting down on request. You could just set the Min User Inactivity to 0, and VDR will not shut down automatically. (unless you hit the power key - this will even work delayed, eg. after a recording ends.) However the last one now look like it's just a very simple plugin. It is. Just type ./newplugin Noshutdown, then edit Noshutdown.c so that cPluginNoshutdown::Active() always returns a string. Done.
