Hi Patrick (and of course Klaus ;o))
For some days there i a new Test Feed channel being found automatic
new channel scanner of vdr-1.6.0:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/vdr# tail -1 channels.conf
Test Feed;Test Feed:10920:hC56:S19.2E:22000:0:0:0:0:0:1:1063:0
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/vdr#
I pretty much had the same problem. AFTER discovering what was
wrong, I simply deleted the Test Feed channel and VDR went back
to normal operation. Actually, I woke up in the middle of the night
because my TV set was continually blinking a white screen at me
every few minutes ;o)) (Due to the drivers being reloaded), which
is how a discovered the problem at all.
I did, however, lose a good number of timered shows. Not that this
will kill me, but personally I don't think VDR should quit operations
because of such a simple problem.
If there is an error in the channels.conf I see no reason to restart
VDR more than once. If the conf file is defunct, then no number
of restarts will bring it back to life ;o))
Personally, I think VDR should log such a problem and
then display it on screen (I mean that's what the message bar
is for ;o)) until the user aknowledeges that the message has
been read.
While I am at problem discussing, I also think that VDR should
NOT delete a timer, if it wasn't possible to fully record the movie.
(This can happen if diskspace runs low or if a thunderstrom
prevents good reception, e.g.) Here, too, either keep the timer
(even if the movie is over) or at least post a message in the
message bar Timer xyz + movie title wasn't recorded. Keep
up the display until it is aknowledged by the user.
I know I haven't been posting recently (or doing any nessy
patches (insider for the older VDR users ;o))), but I still use
and will continue to do so, only VDR as my method of
recording and watching TV or beamer.
@Klaus: Do you think the above would be possible?
kind regards,
Reinhard
