[vdr] EPG: Events with same event id on different channels?

2007-07-16 Thread Friedhelm Büscher
Hi everybody.

I wonder, if event id (according to vdr.5) must be uniq among *all* events 
known to vdr
or only among the events of the current channel?

Is it valid to have a event id of 4711 for ard and a event id of 4711 for 
zdf? Or
will these both events clash?

regards,
Friedhelm.

According to ETSI EN 300 468 the event_id is uniquely allocated within a 
service definition, which I think means that the combination of 
service_id and event_id is unique. Of course they cannot be globally 
unique for all time as they are both 16-bit fields, so I presume that 
there should simply be no re-use within the time interval covered by the 
EPG.
