Re: [vdr] VDR stops replay due to strong wind condition
In my case driver/firmware problems does cause some problems with FF cards every now and then (usually black screen after boot), but instead of restarting vdr from itself by watchdog, I've made an error monitor script, that monitors syslog, restarts vdr and reloads drivers when error is seen there. This way I get faster reload when needed and can keep watchdog relatively long for some plugins that may cause high load for longer times (had some problems with burn plugin and shorter watchdog time). -- Tero 2007/3/19, Andreas Mair [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi!

AW: [vdr] VDR stops replay due to strong wind condition
Hi! So to sum up all the eMails - and thanks to the group of people, who are contributing. Emergency Exit _is_ needed in case you have: a FullFeatured and/or CAM system I personally never had problems with EPG search, grep-ed through my logs, but no unknown picture type or video datastream broken ever occoured. I use xine, in preparation of DVB-S2 h.264. So my wish is: can I have a knob to disable the emergency exit feature? Maybe Tero's can give us more input of his error handling script. This sounds a more reasonable way of handling exceptions.

as you can see the timers recording directory changes from empty ('_' )
to 'Den_Song_für_Ihr_Privatarchiv_kaufen_Si' when the recording is
resumed on device 2, resulting in 2 single recordings.
Background: the timer is responsible for a recording on DeluxeMusic.
DeluxeMusic delivers their EPG for the current and the next track. So
its permanently changing. When the recording is finished it will be
processed with the deluxe-plugin to extract mp3's. But this only works
with one consistent recording.
The reason for VDRs behaviour is probably that at the beginning of the
recording there's no EPG at all, while after the resume there is one.
Any ideas how to avoid the two recordings?
BR,
Christian
