I would like it if I can create a list like this: #1..5 My favorite channels 1 Discovery channel 2 MTV 3 Some other channel 4 Comedy channel 5 Some other channel #10..15 channels of my wife (just married this friday :-) ) 10 RTL 4 11 RTL 8 #20 channels we both like ;-) 20 animal planet 21 discovery channel (identical to channel 1) 22 ... VDR can already do that. Before each numbered group add a line :@1 , :@10 , :@20 etc. Exclude the quites, but ISTR there was some problem if I didn't include a trailing space. There's no, need for a trailing space. I use this to make my channels numbered the same way as Freeview and Freesat, so I'd prefer it if channels lines had an LCN field instead of putting the numbers on separate lines. An LCN field would only make sense if you have only channels from a single broadcaster in your channels.conf. As soon as there are several broadcasters, the numbers would most likely not be unique any more, and therefore useless. I think you can also use a : followed by a string without @ to add comments, which are shown in the EPG. These are channel group separators, which you can easily navigate through with the Left and Right keys in live mode. The texts are *not* shown in the EPG, though.

I know it isn't necessary, and I can't remember exactly why I use them, but one of the existing programs (either VDR itself, or scan) used to append spaces. Making my own tool do the same made it easier to detect whether the file needed updating or something.

Yes, you would need an additional field for the broadcaster or bouquet or something and provide a way for the user to select which set of channels they're viewing. Probably not easy or very practical to add to VDR at this point. Fortunately there are few clashes between Freeview and Freesat, and all I have to do is renumber a few radio channels which I virtually never use.

I really meant the channel list view. I'm sure when I used these group labels they were shown in VDR's OSD. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] howto ignore lines in channels.conf
You could change the line to a lable by starting it with : . If I understand it correctly, using a space after : instead of @ and it becomes a label for the channels after. A way to group them sort of. You can then using it as a quick jump to the channel that follows, but it should be skiped when just surfing and it shouldn't try to save EPG data for it.

There is no comment character in channels.conf, because VDR writes this file, and thus any comments would be lost. IMHO This is not a sufficient answer: it could skip the line with a comment character when rewriting (and unless it changed, it may not rewrite it is no PMT/pid scanning is requested) --eric ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
[vdr] vdr-1.7.23 uses the wrong DVB headers

[vdr] Updating actuator plugin
Hi Luca, Maybe it is a right time to update your actuator plugin. There are some changes in vdr-1.7.23, it is enough to change SystemValues to SystemValuesSat to compile vdr-actuator against the last vdr-1.7.23, or simply: sed -i -e s/SystemValues/SystemValuesSat/ actuator.c Regards, Yarema ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
