 I have been testing the latest VDR 1.7.10 and 1.7.5 versions and both
 have following problem I haven't seen on VDR 1.6.x version.
The problem is that after starting VDR (with or without OSD GUI
 frontend), it looses a lock on channel after 60 seconds or so.
 Is there some worker process which kicks in VDR every 60 seconds? Maybe
 EPG related process?

VDR does start scanning for EPG data after a while if inactivity.
To rule out this one, please set EPG scan timeout to 0 in the Setup/EPG
menu.

Hi,
 
Thanks for the tip. This seems to do the trick. Channel lock is no more lost
after the first 60 secs of inactivity after bootup.
 
I have directed EPG runtime files to TMP folder, so I guess
this contributes to this problem because at boot time there is no EPG files at 
all.

 How can I determine that from a vdr-1.7.10 recording?

I don't know how you could find the length; maybe it's a simple
calculation from the size of the index.vdr file?

To find the aspect ratio you could use:

mplayer -ao null -vo null -frames 1 -identify 001.vdr | grep ASPECT

If the recordings store PCR, you could just read the first and last
PCR and do some quick math?

Does vdr store the pcr?
What do you mean with quick math?
Can you post an example?

No, it doesn't.

You can take the size of the index file, divide it by 8 and
you get the number of frames in the recording. The info file
tells you the number of frames per second (at least with newer
TS recordings).

That makes it pretty easy! :)
