I do get EPG trough streamdev but some other things are broken You can find it here http://vdr.schmirler.de/. It says Imports the EPG of an other VDR. It is implemented as a separate thread and you can select either a quick but resource consuming or a slow operation mode. The later allows you to share the SVDRP connection with other local plugins, so you can e.g. still use the remoteosd plugin while syncing. Since epgsync-0.0.3 it is possible to limit the import to a specific channel type (DVB-C/S/T, analog) and to lookup channels by name instead of ID. You could e.g. copy the EPG of DVB channels to their analog counterparts. Does it synchronize channels too?

[vdr] How to change channels.conf externally into a running vdr?
Hi, In a setup with multiple vdr instances sharing the same dvb tuners it's practical to keep one as a master that upgrades channels.conf automatically and the other instances get periodically a new copy of the channels configuration. That allows manual editing of channels in the master vdr and running plugins like autosort there. I'm now killing my secondary vdr instances while the channels are copied by a cron job every night. It would be more practical for remote vdr-sxfe clients to keep vdr processes running to avoid loosing the streaming connection. Is it possible to signal somehow vdr to reread it's entire channels.conf when it has been changed externally? By SVDRP? Seppo PS. It would be nice if multiple displays with shared server related architecture improvements were on Klaus' hidden roadmap ;^) At the moment when running several vdrs there is a mess with channels synchronization, live tv pausing, live recording dvb subtitles, generally problems due to pay-tv watching (CAID as zero) by preventing allowing pid updates on secondary clients, etc. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
