[vdr] Check for updates of present event

2012-10-10 Thread Denis Loh 

Hi,

I want to check for updates on the present events in the schedule. I was 
checking Schedule-Modified  lastModified, where lastModified is the 
timestamp when I checked it last time. However, every time I do the 
check, it was modified, even if there's no obvious change.


So, how do I check if the present event (currently running event) was 
modified, i.e. the current event was replaced by the next event or any 
detail of this event has been changed?


Additionally, I'd like to know, if there equivalent way to do such a 
check on the channels list as Channels.Modified() is reset after the 
call. I have never detected a channel list change though syslog states 
some automatic changes.


Thanks for any kind of help!

Denis

Do you mean no obvious change in the present event, or in any event of that 
schedule?

What you could do is to store the event id, table id and version of that event
and compare them to the current data. Whenever an event is changed it
gets a new version (and possibly table id).

I'm afraid this is not possible.
