 It stores the EPG data of the longest broadcast within the timer window.

I often schedule short cartoon episodes for the kids and with 5 min margins
before and after the schedule it most often ends up with EPG data from
the broadcast before or after the scheduled one.
With that said I think that Alex's proposal sounds good (but it should
not be limited to manually set timers).
Another idea would be to pick the EPG data from the broadcast that
occurs in the middle of the scheduled timer (but that would not be ideal
in the case when you manually schedule several broadcasts in a single
timer)

 Hmm, I thought it wasn't possible to have two
 identical channels (even IF soley the name is
 different). Has this changed?

You can have multiple channels with the same name, i.e.:
Das 
Erste;ARD:11837:hC34M2O0S0:S19.2E:27500:101=2:102=deu,103=2ch;106=dd:104:0:28106:1:1101:0
Das Erste;ARD:10723:hC34M2O0S0:S13.0E:29900:0=2:0:0:0:28106:1:1101:0

If you want to have a unique id for a channel, that would be that 
channel ID, not its name, man 5 vdr states:
A particular channel can be uniquely identified by its channel ID, 
which  is  a  string  that looks like this:
S19.2E-1-1089-12003-0

In this particular case however using the channel number serves the only 
purpose to prevent multiple recordings writing into the same directory 
and for this purpose using the sole channel number is sufficient.


 
 Another question: what happens to the info file
 when I make an instant recording (or a timer for
 that matter) than spans across more than one
 show? VDR used to only store the info (epg
 data) from the first show. Personally, I think
 VDR should record ALL show info (epg data) as
 long as the timer or instant recording is
 running. Perhaps with a divider between the
 multiple shows.
 
 Of course the question is how to distinguish
 between simple pre and post timer times and
 true multiple shows (perhaps only record the
 info if the multiple show has finished being
 aired or a similiar mechanism.

Just follow the other posts in this thread, the exact same discussion is 
already going on with a comment from Klaus regarding the current behaviour.


Best regards,
   Christian

Sorry, you're right, meant the M3N78Pro.

I think, development for VDR 1.7.x has just started. Let's focus on
this, first... :-)

 Hello,

 what are the plans to finish VDR 1.7.x?
 Does some kind of roadmap exists for VDR 1.8.0?

Yes, that is what my question is about.

What points have to be done to finish 1.7.x and to get to 1.8.0.

[vdr] German translation for Plugin

2009-01-09 Thread Joachim Wilke
Dear developers,

I recommend changing the translation for Plugin in the German
language file to a more non-technical term. I suggest Erweiterung
instead of Plugin. This helps even non-technical experienced users
of VDR to understand what to expect.

Please find a corresponding patch attached.

[vdr] LIRC configuration

2009-01-09 Thread Alex Betis
Hello all,
Not a VDR question, but I'm sure someone can help me here.

I've finally bought a remote control for my HTPC from a company named
SunWave, model SMR-140. Looks like a MCE clone.
It has an USB IR receiver that recognized as keyboard and mouse device (the
remote has a joystick that can be used to move mouse). I can use the remote
without lirc since it operates as keyboard.

Few questions about that:
1. I want to install XBMC in near future so I'll need irexec functionality.
Do I really need lirc for that? Or is there any other option to do it?
2. The remote sends sequence of keys for a single button, for example play
button sends LEFTCTR, LEFTSHIFT and P. How can I map that sequence to
represent a single button?
3. If someone has that remote (or maybe other remotes with the same strange
behavior). The behavior of stop button is very strange. It sends back or
forward or homepage or bookmark depending on what Sx button was
pressed before. Pressing stop again gives no input at all untill I'll press
a Sx button. Is there any trick to make it work in more expected way?


Thanks!
Alex.

In the years I've been using VDR, there has always been many
development versions before Klaus has released a new stable so based
on past experience, I wouldn't expect to see 1.8.0 any time soon.
There are some big changes in 1.7.x and I guess it could go either
way.  He might want to release a new stable after the major stuff has
been implimented and tested, saving the little things for the next
development line.  Or he could just take it slow  easy.

One nice thing I've learned is that most dev versions are pretty damn
stable themselves.  I've been running dev versions probably 90%+ of
the time on my main vdr box.  :)
