Ok, I fixed it..
In file epgsearchext.c, function CheckRepeatTimers, there is a line:
if (EventsMatch(pEvent, pEventP, compareTitle, compareSubtitle,
compareSummary, compareDate, catvaluesAvoidRepeat))
There is no match limit given! So I added it like this:
if (EventsMatch(pEvent, pEventP, compareTitle, compareSubtitle,
compareSummary, compareDate, catvaluesAvoidRepeat,
compareSummaryMatchInPercent))
Seems to work now. Still needs your earlier patch in epgsearchtools.c
of course.
thanks for the feedback. After testing it in my environment I will push
it to the git.

I tried this, no change..
Then I added some debug. For some reason, matchLimit is 90 even if
I have set it to 100! There must be some other bug that resets
matchLimit..
If I set matchLimit=100 inside the function, it works as expected
if your patch is installed.

Hi!
I have vdr 1.7.27 and epgsearch 1.0.1.beta2, from yavdr..
I'm recording "Game of Thrones" from Canal Digital Nordic.
The third season is starting in a few days..
The episodes have no episode name, and the description field
simply says:
"(1:10/s3) 3. kausi maailman suosituimmasta HBO-sarjasta."
The text part is always the same, just the episode number
varies. So just a single character difference. But epgsearch
thinks these are repeats! Even if I set required match to
100%, it still thinks they are repeats.. shouldn't 100% mean
exact match?

Candidates are: - search timer updates, should not matter how you trigger them, e.g. via svdrpsend.pl plug epgsearch upds - timer conflict check - simply navigating through the epgsearch menus in OSD Using valgrind would also be a good way to search for the leaks. I've done this before too. But the leak may also depend on your personal usage of epgsearch (e.g. search timer settings, blacklists,...), and therefore did not appear in my valgrind checks.

Re: [vdr] EPGSearch doesn't avoid repeats anymore?
Hi,
well, the intended behaviour was:
setting 'if present': two events match if both have non empty episode
names that match. If not, the events are handled as different, resulting
in more eventually double recordings.
setting 'Yes': the match is achieved if the episode names match, also if
both are empty. If the provider delivers no episode names for two
different events, just one would be recorded.
IMHO, it seems the code should actually look like this:
if ((!compareTitle || Title1 == Title2)&&
(!compareSubtitle || (Subtitle1 == Subtitle2&&
(compareSubtitle==1 || Subtitle1!=""
please note the "compareSubtitle==1" ('Yes') instead of
"compareSubtitle==2 ('If present').
BTW, this was the code of my first commit on 2008-12-03, that I
'corrected' for any reason to the current code on the same day:
http://projects.vdr-developer.org/git/?p=vdr-plugin-epgsearch.git;a=history;f=epgsearchtools.c;h=71a83a19c1bd4c89aa0c0c2808d216e30b03ca34;hb=ba87be9b2650796a507249c098eca815bff9b5e5
The documentation should also be fixed to:
...Caution: if your EPG data has no episode names for different episodes
don't use option 'yes'! 'if present' will then be the better choice even
if this
results in double recordings.
Probably it would be the best solution to drop the 'Yes' setting.
BR,
Christian

1) First it checks that we either said 'don't compare the title' or the

the subtitle' (!compareSubtitle) OR the subtitles match (Subtitle1 ==
Subtitle2) AND also we've either said 'only if present'
(compareSubtitle==2) OR at least one of the sub-titles is non-empty
(Subtitle1!="")
I just don't know why its a useful function :-)
I did a bit more digging and discovered this was a new option since
0.9.25.beta7 and is listed in the HISTORY as:
Avoid repeats: 'Compare subtitle' has now a third value 'if present'
besides 'no' and 'yes'. With this setting epgsearch will classify two
events only as equal if their episode names match and are not empty.
Caution: if your EPG data has no episode names for different episodes
don't use this option! 'yes' will then be the better choice even if this
results in double recordings.
I think the description here is incorrect though. "epgsearch will
classify two events only as equal if their episode names match and are
not empty" seems to be the behaviour when this option is set to 'yes',
not when it is set to the new 'if present' third value. The last
sentence also seems to be incorrect. 'if-present' is the optimal
choice if your EPG data doesn't always have episode names, using them
for the comparison if they're present, ignoring them if they're missing.
For anyone interested, I've attached the git-diff of 53677636 (when
this was introduced).

Regards, Christian It picked up a show and set a timer I changed the channel to the local channel Now the local epg data has arrived and in vdradmin timeline it show the show in red showing it has a timer set. If I do a search, list the shows for both sat and local and gives the option to setup a timer for the sat channel only because the local is set. BUT, if you go to the timers page and click on the altered entry, it says "can't find epg". What ever is off that causes that is likely also what is causing the OSD notices of timer conflict when there is none. Also, when in an OSD menu, the timers are listed on the right with text2skin/engima and below that it also says timer conflict.

Re: [vdr] SVDRP Port
Hi, epgsearch uses SVDRP for timer programming. Although the port can be configured in epgsearch's setup a change of the default port would probably cause some support. Plugins can not read vdr's SVDRP port til now, so it would be great to have any function for this and a change of the default would do no harm. BR, Christian Christian Tramnitz schrieb: The current SVDRP Port 2001 is being used for several years now, but unfortunately it has never been registered with IANA. As such it does not show up in /etc/services and there is no name resolution for it, i.e. when starting a tcpdump. While this is not a major issue I'd prefer to register an "official" port with IANA to avoid port conflicts in the future. I already checked with them, but port 2001 is already registered to another service, so doing this we would get a new port number. Since this is freely configurable in vdr (and most plugins/extensions that rely on it) I do not see an issue with that. Any comments/ objections?

[vdr] vdr-api: how to check if VDR is up?
Hi, the epgsearch plugin handles some tasks as separate threads, that also use SVDRP to talk to VDR. Currently these threads are started after a fixed time (e.g. 20s) to give VDR the time to start up. A user reported that epgsearch fails in SVDRP communication, because VDR was still waiting for its devices (and therefore is not yet ready to accept SVDRP connections): Jun 3 20:07:40 vdr vdr: [3466] not all devices ready after 30 seconds These 30 seconds are only defined in vdr.c and are therefore 'invisible' to plugins. So I'm looking for 'clean' way to check if VDR is up and ready. Of course, one could do any SVDRP command, e.g. 'help', and check the result, but thats quite cumbersome. Next idea: use cPlugin::Housekeeping() to signal the threads that VDR is idle now after startup. This works, but sometimes takes up to >90s. Any idea how to get a better solution?

EPGSearch checks if a timer will receive an appropriate device for its complete recording time. If there is none, it will report a timer conflict. Perhaps it would be better to report a 'timer problem' because of constellations as in your case, where it will never get such a device. Checking if there's a possible decryption at all should be feasible, but wouldn't it be better to remove channels that can't be viewed of recorded anyway, or adjust the search timer to the appropriate channels?

[vdr] [Announce] epgsearch-0.9.24
Hi,
here's the next release of epgsearch:
2008-04-29: Version 0.9.24
new:
- support for vdr-1.6.x/1.7.x
- speedup in searching and search timer updates (about 25%)
- speedup in EPG menues, thanks to patch authors from http://www.open7x0.org
- support for VDRSymbols font (activate it with 'WarEagle=1' in
epgsearchmenu.conf)
- the EPG command 'Search in recordings' now evaluates the info.vdr
instead of the
recordings path name and also does fuzzy searching, suggested by
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
- search timers with action 'switch only' and switch timers now have an
additional
option 'unmute sound' which unmutes audio at the event, if it was off,
suggested
by Michael Brückner
- the timer update notification mails supports now an additional variable
%timer.modreason%, that holds the reason for a timer update in plain
text (see
epgsearchupdmail(-html).templ for a sample)
- support for a conf.d mechanism (s. MANUAL -> 14. The conf.d
subdirectory), suggested
by Mike Constabel.
- new SVDRP command 'LSCC' that returns the results of a timer conflict
check. See the MANUAL for details about the format of the result list.
- new patch against VDR (vdr-1.5.17-progressbar-support-0.0.1.diff) that
adds support
for graphical progressbars in skins classic and st:tng, thanks to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
- '0' in the menu of done recordings now toggles the display of the
episode name only
- the favorites menu can now also be displayed after 'Overview - Now'
via setup,
suggested by Bittor Corl
- menu of recordings done now sorts the date top down
- support for new info key behaviour in vdr-1.5.13
- changes for builtin graphtft-patch (when using VDR-extension-patch you
need > v.37)
- updated the timercmd-patch for vdr-1.5.12
(patches/timercmd-0.1_1.5.12.diff)
- added patches/README.patches to describe the existing patches
- update of 'undoneepgsearch.sh', a script to remove recordings from the
done file via
reccmds.conf, thanks to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
- update of finnish translation, thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg
- full spanish translation, many thanks to agusmir, dragondefuego,
GenaroL, lopezm and
nachofr from todopvr.com, and especially to bittor
- update of italian translation, thanks to Diego from
vdr-italia.phpbb24.com
- update of dutch translation, thanks to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
- the setup option "No announcements when replaying" is now ignored, if
the search timer
update was triggered manually, suggested by Andreas Mair.
fixes:
- shifting the time display: the start time now only gets displayed in
'Overview - Now' instead of a progressbar, if there's not already a
start time
in the menu template ('%time%') as in the default template,
thanks to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for reporting
- fixed some issues regarding GPL, thanks to Thomas Günther for reporting
- fixed a crash when no EPG is present, thanks to Petri Helin for
providing a patch
- the default value for maximum duration is now '23:59' to avoid
problems with
external tools, thanks to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for reporting
(bug-id #371)
- after an EPG change of less then 10 minutes epgsearch modified a timer
instead of
creating a new one. This caused problems with events with less then 10
minutes. The
tolerance is therefore now min(, 10 min). Thanks to
Janne Liimatainen
for reporting.
- fixed some translations, thanks to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for reporting
- speed improvement when scrolling through EPG menus, thanks to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] for
reporting
- fixed a crash, when SIGINT is signaled while background threads startup
- channel group separators in 'Overview Now/Next/...' are now hidden if
they are
empty like in ':@30', thanks to Ulf Kiener for providing a patch
- fixed a crash in the setup of the addon plugins when VDR is patched
with the ext-patch
and active LIEMIKUUTIO
- 'avoid repeats' combined with 'pause on ... recordings' created to
less timers, thanks
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for reporting
- fixed some compiler warnings with g++ 4.3
- fine-tuning fuzzy matching of descriptions, thanks to Alf Fahland for
providing a patch
- fixed a problem with pipes in the pattern of blacklists, thanks to
Andreas Mair for
reporting.
- fixed labeling the green/yellow color keys after toggling the keys in
menu 'Schedule',
thanks to Andreas Mair for reporting.
- fixed evaluation of compiler flags like WITHOUT_EPGSEARCHONLY,...

[vdr] Progressbar support in skins classic and st:tng
Hi,
many skins (like text2skin, enigmang, soppalusikka, ... ) support
displaying a graphical progressbar when a text like "[||| ]" appears in
a menu item. Since runtime patching a font is not possible anymore I was
wondering if also the skins classic and st:tng could support this.
Here's a small patch (based on the sources of enigmang), that adds this
functionality. Would be nice to have this in VDR core ;)

Christian

[vdr] [Announce] vdr-epgsearch-0.9.23
Hi, here's the next release of epgsearch: 2007-09-02: Version 0.9.23 new: - full support for new i18n system in vdr>=1.5.7, but keeps fully backwards compatible - when using extended EPG categories one can now also compare by value, e.g. to search for events after some year. Therefore new searchmodes (10 which means '<', 11 which means '<=', ...) were introduced in the file epgsearchcats.conf. Example: # 'until year' 3|Year|until year||11 # 'from year' 12|Year|from year||13 One could use this also to search for a specific season of a series, if this data is part of the EPG. See the section in the documentation for a complete list of all search modes. - The edit menu for search timers has now a switch 'Ignore missing categories' for extended EPG categories. If set to 'Yes' this tells epgsearch that a missing EPG category should not exclude an event from the results. Caution: Using this without any other criterions could flood your timers. - Search timers have now an 'auto delete' feature. The edit menu therefor provides: * after x recordings, or * after x days after first recording Only complete recordings are counted. The deletion of the search timer is executed directly after the end of the corresponding recording - new action "Create a copy" in menu Search/Actions to create and edit a copy of the current search, suggested by Michael Brückner. - the option "use as search timer" has now a third value 'user defined' besides 'yes' and 'no', that allows specifying a time margin where the search timer is active, suggested by [EMAIL PROTECTED] - the progressbar now displays the start time instead of an empty bar, when shifting to future events, thanks to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for providing a patch. - menu "show timers created" shows now summary for the timers done with 'Ok'. Also the shortcuts '1..9' for the EPG-commands are available. - built-in pin-plugin patch (no more need to patch epgsearch). Activate it by compiling with 'USE_PINPLUGIN' in VDR's Make.config (as already done in VDR extension patch) - built-in graphtft-plugin patch (no more need to patch epgsearch). Activate it by compiling with 'USE_GRAPHTFT' in VDR's Make.config (as already done in VDR extension patch) - update of finnish translation, thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg - update of french translation, thanks to Patrice Staudt - added file README.Translators with notes for translators fixes: - fixed a bug in timer creation after navigating through the summary menu, thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for reporting - Label "Record" or "Timer" in menu summary fixed with respect to existing timer. - fixed switch timers in the case when EPG has changed, thanks to Juergen Urban for providing a patch - fixed some compiler warnings in g++-4.2, thanks to Michael Brückner for reporting - added "," to the allowed characters for a search timer, thanks to Mike Constabel for reporting.

[vdr] translation context handling in vdr >= 1.5.7
Hi,
I just noticed a small change in the context handling of translations
since vdr-1.5.7. Till now it was possible to have e.g.
const char AllowedChars[] = trNOOP("$
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789-.,#~\\^$[]|()*+?{}/:%@&");
Note the 2 '$'. The first one only helps to have the second one in the
translation and not to be interpreted as context.
Previous implementations of I18nTranslate did only cut the context of
the english version. So the translation could look like this in i18n.c
or the po-files:
// The allowed characters in strings:
{ "$ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789-.,#~\\^$[]|()*+?{}/:%@&",
" aäbcdefghijklmnoöpqrsßtuüvwxyz0123456789-.,#~\\^$[]|()*+?{}/:%@&",
" abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789-.,#~\\^$[]|()*+?{}/:%@&",
...
The current implementation cuts the translations too which results in
"[]|()*+?{}/:%@&"
Is this intended? If so, one could add the dummy '$' also at the
beginning of the translation, but has to handle this again for backwards
compatibility.
If it's not intended the following patch should give the previous behaviour:

Re: [vdr] List of failed plugins for vdr-1.5.7
Hi, > *** failed plugins: autotimeredit burn dvd epgsearch skinenigmang you can find a current beta13 of epgsearch at http://winni.vdr-developer.org/epgsearch/downloads/beta/ which compiles with vdr-1.5.7, but there's not yet real support for the new internationalization method.

[vdr] FRQ: VDR core support for online help
Hi,
today many TV equipment offers online help, even my remote does ;)
VDR currently only gives help by manuals or WIKI, but this is far away
every time you need it, i.e. if you whatch TV.
So I was wondering if it would be interesting to add online help for VDR
with the following requirements:
- a dedicated key should give help in any situations (-> kHelp)
- help may be available per OSD item, or - if not present - per OSD menu
(e.g. some setup values could give an extra explanation)
- help may be available for all player controls
(e.g. I'll never keep in mind the keys for the dvd-plugin ;) )
- the implementation should also work for plugins
What do you (especially Klaus) think about an online help?
I've added a quick and dirty patch, that adds the basics for an online
help. With the patch the implemenation of an online help works like this:
To add help to an OSD item, simply replace for example
Add(new cMenuEditItem(tr("an osd item"), &data.value));
with
cOsdItem* item = new cMenuEditItem(tr("an osd item"), &data.value);
Add(item);
item->SetOnlineHelp(tr("Help for item"));
To add help for an OSD menu add the following line to the contructor:
SetOnlineHelp(tr("Help for this menu"));
The same for an object derived from cControl.
Whenever the user presses the 'Help' key he gets a simple text menu with
the online help.
I've already added online help to epgsearch's setup previously, but I
think it would be better if there was core support in VDR for this and a
common implementation.
The patch really needs some refinement (especially the part in vdr.c),
but it should only serve as a starting point for a discussion.
BR,
Christian

[vdr] [Announce] epgsearch-0.9.22
Hi, here's the next release of epgsearch. This time a little earlier as usual because of a new other plugin coming soon ;) 2007-05-27: Version 0.9.22 new: - new option in timer conflict check "When a recording starts": This performs a conflict check when any recording starts and informs about it via OSD if the conflict is within the next 2h. So also timers not created with epgsearch are checked, the same for instant recordings. - new service interface "Epgsearch-services-v1.0": This allows other plugins to access and manage many components of epgsearch as searchtimers, setup values,... and execute tasks like searching for repeats (Have a look at services.h for more information). - new project homepage: http://winni.vdr-developer.org/epgsearch, many thanks to Thomas Keil, sorry, only german at the moment ;) - update for finnish translation, thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg fixes: - complete rewrite of the summary menu and its navigation to avoid problems with skins and fix some other bugs. - when testing for repeats now also the comparison with the done-file only checks the alphanumeric portions of title and episode - fixed another issue with quotes when calling commands for EPG events - some license changes and additions for integration in Debian repositories - fixed a bug in displayed time, when using user defined times and shifting with FRew/FFwd, thanks to Torsten Weigelt for reporting - the aux info about the channel was not added in 'one press timer creation'. Thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for providing a patch.

Hi, Stone wrote: I have two user-defined EPG times setup, but when I enable "favorites", only the second user-defined time is displayed after the favorites is displayed. Anyone notice that? There's a special handling for user-defined EPG times. Here's the section from the Readme: 1.3 Extended 'now' and 'next' and favorites By setup, one can add up to 4 additional times to extend the green button, e.g. 'afternoon', 'prime time', 'late night'. Times, that are already passed, are skipped (you will not get 'afternoon' at evening) with the exception that a time will be displayed for the next day, if it is less then 20h in the future. Are you sure, you get both times if 'use favorites' is disabled? If so, please give me your setup times and the time when you tested it. Also the setup of the favorites 'before or after user-def. times' would be interesting. I just did a quick check and it worked on my setup.

[vdr] [Announce] epgsearch-0.9.21
Hi, here's the next release of epgsearch. 2007-04-29: Version 0.9.21 new: - support for the new MainMenuHooksPatch. This replaces the vdr-replace-schedulemenu patch. The new patch is used by other plugins too, so from now on only one patch is needed. The old patch is still supported, but this will be removed in the next releases. - announcements of broadcasts via OSD have been completely redesigned. Instead of displaying them event by event, you get now "x new broadcast(s) found! Show them?". Pressing 'Ok' shows a menu of all events with the usual functions as in other EPG menus. With "Edit" you can modify the announce settings (like "announce again: yes/no" or announce again after day x). - timer conflict notifications via OSD can now be supressed while replaying. Nevertheless, if a conflict comes up within the next 2 hours the message gets still displayed. - all addon plugins (epgsearchonly, quickepgsearch, conflictcheckonly) now have a setup option to toggle the main menu entry on/off, thanks to Tobias Grimm for providing a patch. - channel name in aux info of manual timers, thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for providing a patch. - new script undoneepgsearch.sh to undo a timer within the recordings menu, more info at: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?postid=574109#post574109 Thanks to the author Christian Jacobsen - update for french translation, thanks to Patrice Staudt - update for finnish translation, thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg - menu 'timer conflicts details' now also shows the date of the conflict in menu title, suggested by [EMAIL PROTECTED] - the password for mail authentication is now hidden in the OSD, i.e. represented with '***...' - the setup for mail notifications now also has a "Send to" address, because some providers don't allow the same address for sender and recipient. If "Send to" is not set, epgsearch automatically uses the sender address as recipient. - when testing for repeats (with feature 'Avoid repeats') epgsearch now only compares the alphanumeric portions of title and episode and ignores the case too. Suggested by [EMAIL PROTECTED] - thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for finnish translation update - added '&' to the set of valid chars for search terms fixes: - the tags stored in the aux info of the timers created with search timers conform now to correct XML syntax (no capitals, no blanks). E.g. "Search timer" will be changed to "searchtimer". So don't wonder if the first search timer update will modify all existent timers created with search timers. Thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for reporting. - update of recordingdone.sh because of the previous changes, thanks to Mike Constabel for providing a patch - fixed a segfault in the case of misconfigured extended EPG categories. - scrolling text items now works again, if your skin supports this. Thanks to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for reporting. - setup option "Use search timers" now always gets automatically enabled, if one toggles a search to 'active' or manually starts a search timer update. - fixed handling of double quotes in title/episode when passed to userdefined EPG commands, thanks to Mike Constabel for reporting. - fixed menu handling in search timer templates menu, thanks to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for reporting.

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?

Christian

Please check if the SVDRP port in epgsearchs setup is the same as in VDRs. If not please adjust them and restart VDR. After ~25 seconds the timers will be created or later when you trigger the update manually. If this does not solve the problem, please inspect your syslogs when you trigger the search timer update.

Hi, here's the next release of epgsearch. Description and download: http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/html/vdr-epg-search__english_.html wget: http://people.freenet.de/cwieninger/vdr-epgsearch-0.9.20.tgz 2006-01-30: Version 0.9.20 new: - support for vdr-1.5.0. Note: the CA support in the timer conflict check is highly experimental because I have no CAMs to test it! - epgsearch can now also modify manual timers according to EPG changes. When using epgsearch's own timer edit menu you can select between * no check * by event ID * by channel/time Please refer to the README (1.4.4 Setup/Timer Programming/Default timer check method) for further notes. - the timespan used in the favorites menu can now be adjusted via setup. Default is 24h. - Event announcements: If the user presses one of the keys 'Ok', '0', ... '9' while the announcement of an event is displayed, he will be asked if further announcements of this event should be disabled for ever (user hit '0' or 'Ok') or for the next 'x' days (user hit '1' to '9'). After pressing 'Ok' again, this setting will be stored. - With the new setup option "No announcements when replaying" you can now suppress any announcements of broadcasts when you currently replay anything. Suggested by Andreas Mair. - Besides the done file for recordings there is now a done file for timers (timersdone.conf). This allows deleting timers without getting them again with the next search timer update. With the new menu 'Show timers created' in Search/Actions one can edit this list. The whole feature can be disabled in the search timers setup. Note: the done list is only populated with timers that were newly created with this release. - new addon plugin 'quickepgsearch': it creates a main menu entry 'Quick search' and can be used to search for any event in the EPG. Include it with '-Pquickepgsearch' , suggested by [EMAIL PROTECTED] - new setup option "Limit channels from 1 to" to speed up epgsearchs call. If the current channel is above the limit, all channels will be displayed. Suggested by [EMAIL PROTECTED] - new SVDRP commands: * 'LSRD' returns a list of all recording directories used in existing recordings, timers, search timers or as specified in epgsearchdirs.conf * 'LSTT [ID]' to list all search templates, or the one with the passed ID (format is the same as epgsearch.conf) * 'NEWT ' to add a new search template REMARK: the value of element ID is ignored. epgsearch will always assign the next free ID * 'DELT ' to delete the search template with ID * 'EDIT ' to modify an existing search template * 'DEFT [ID]' returns the ID of the default search template. When passing an ID it activates the corresponding template as default. - you can now also use sendmail for mail delivery besides the script sendemail.pl (-> setup), suggested by Patrick Cernko - new variables: * '%timespan%' to be used in menus or mails. It will be replaced with the timespan from now to the begin of an event (e.g. 'in 15m'). It is now used in the default menu template of the favorites menu, where the date field was removed. * '%length%' for the length of a broadcast in seconds. - thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for finnish translation update fixes: - manually created timers are now neither deleted nor modified by any search timers. - the addon conflictcheckonly was compiled even if WITHOUT_CONFLICTCHECKONLY was defined in the Makefile, thanks to Ronny Kornexl for reporting. - search term and directory support now the characters 'ß' (only for language german) and '@'. - 'avoid repeats' had a bug (in some special cases) that created a timer for any later repeat instead of the first event. - a search with "Use day of week" AND "Use time" where "Start before" is after midnight now also matches events on the next day til "Start before". E.g. "Start after 22:00" and "Start before 03:00" on monday will also match an event at 01:00 at tuesday. - already recording timers are now modified only, if the timers stop time has changed (e.g. by an EPG update), thanks to Mike Constabel for reporting. - fixed a bug in evaluation of user variables, thanks to Mike Constabel for reporting and remote debugging - fixed a bug in conflict mail notification concerning timers without assigned events Have fun!

It would probably work mostly the same way: Tweak the wakeup > time, detect this on wakeup, start the EPG scan, go offline. perhaps this is too trivial, but why not create a daily or whatever timer as you suggested before with a special name like '@epgscan' and react on that? VDR would not create a recording for this timer but start an EPG scan and shut down, if no other timer is active. I think this is quite simple to implement. One could even extend this to a more generic approach: '@command1' as timer file could execute a command in line 1 of commands.conf, that is e.g. an external EPG update script.

Re: [vdr] How to detect if a timer was deleted?
Hi, Matthias Schniedermeyer wrote: > Does epgsearch save any status from epg-data and/or timers? yes, but the 'done' approach is currently different: epgsearch marks and saves a broadcast as done only if it has been successfully and completely recorded. So any recording break because of timer conflicts or a crash will be noticed and epgsearch will automatically search for a repeat of the broadcast (provided that proper settings for the search timer exist). The drawback of this approach is that deleting a timer will lead to the described situation, because it it not yet 'done' in terms of epgsearch. Currently one has to disable the timer to prevent the recording and I would like to solve this in the next release. This could be easily done if VDR could notify plugins about timer deletions.

[vdr] How to detect if a timer was deleted?
Hi, for a new feature of epgsearch, I'd like to do a continuous check (in a separate thread) if any timer was deleted via OSD or SVDRP since the last check. The only thing I found so far is to build a timer array and compare it at each check with the current timer list. But if timers where modified meanwhile, the check can get quite complex. Any other idea? @Klaus: Is there a chance for a patch that extends cStatus with e.g. MsgDelTimer to get part of VDR, if I supply one ;-) Background: epgsearch currently creates a timer again if it was found by any search timer, even if the user previously deleted it. If I could detect which timer was deleted, I could put it in a done list to prevent the new creation. I know, I could create the done list already when creating the timer for the first time, but this causes other problems. Besides that: only timers that have been deleted are of interest, so why save all others too? BR and Merry Christmas!

It's now: %uservar%=system(/path/to/script[, parameters]) where the optional 'parameters' can now be any expression using other variables except directly using conditional expressions or other system calls. - update for french translation, thanks to Patrice Staudt fixes: - VPS timers created by search timers are now always updated to their VPS time, even if the user has changed start/stop time. - after editing the setup any menu templates defined in epgsearchmenu.conf were reset to defaults, thanks to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for reporting. - existing VDR serial timers are not modified anymore to regular timers by the search timer update.

Re: [vdr] VDR deletes directories
Hi, Matthias Fechner schrieb: Hi, I have the problem that VDR deletes directories in my /video0 or /video1 ... which not belongs to VDR. IIRC VDR only deletes empty directories.

Re: [vdr] Feature Request: MySQL interface for EPG/configuration
Rene Bartsch wrote: if the configuration (channels, transponders, options) and EPG would be stored in a MySQL-DB other applications could easily use that data instead of doing expensive scans of the files again and again. Maybe there could be a compiler switch or even a command-line option for VDR to switch between file and SQL mode. this could even solve some problems regarding synchronisation/thread safeness. But IMHO this sounds like a feature of VDR 2.0 ;-) BR, Christian ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
Re: [vdr] Making a cList object thread safe?
You have to protect all functions of your object which are
dealing with the list (reading and/or writing) with a cMutex.
Thanks! So the following should work (please correct me if I'm wrong):
I add a cMutex object in the cList derived class and 2 functions:
class cThreadSafecList: public cList<...> {
...
private:
cMutex mutex;
public:
void Lock(void) { mutex.Lock(); }
void Unlock(void) { mutex.Unlock(); }
...
}
extern cThreadSafecList MyThreadSafecList;
Every member function with access to the list objects calls Lock and
Unlock at the beginning and end of the function.
Every direct access to the MyThreadSafecList object (to loop throug or
manipulate the list objects) must make sure to call
MyThreadSafecList.Lock and MyThreadSafecList.Unlock. The locking time
should be short to avoid a sluggish OSD, if one accesses
MyThreadSafecList in the main thread.
BR,
Christian

[vdr] Making a cList object thread safe?
Hi, what is the best way to make a cList derived object thread safe? I have an object derived from cList and access it in the main thread and also in a background thread. The main thread access can modify the object (insert, edit, delete or even reload the complete list) while the background thread will only read the list. So e.g. a reload in the main thread could cause a crash in the background thread, if it just loops through the list. There are already some synchronisation methods in VDR (cMutex, cThreadLock,...). Is there any preferred method to solve my problem? Is there any plugin that already handled and solved this?

Re: [vdr] RFC: Man page intstallation support for plugins?
Udo Richter schrieb: We could also handle this similar to the libs: On compile, all plugins can put (or symlink) their man-pages into PLUGINS/man, and the install target copies them from there. That way it would be fully backwards compatible. This would limit the plugins documentation to 'man'. With the previous approach the plugin can choose the method (man, txt, html, pdf,...).

[vdr] RFC: Man page intstallation support for plugins?
Hi Klaus, the next release of my plugin will have a couple of man pages. I included an 'install-doc' section in the Makefile. But one has to do a 'make install-doc' in the plugins source directory to install them. What do you think about a 'make install-doc-plugins' in VDR's Makefile like that: install-doc-plugins: @for i in `ls $(PLUGINDIR)/src | grep -v '[^a-z0-9]'`; do $(MAKE) -C "$(PLUGINDIR)/src/$$i" install-doc; done BR, Christian ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
