Re: [vdr] EPG for BBC TV channels?

2014-03-16 Thread VDR User
I have several VDR boxes that all run 24/7 without being restarted for weeks/months at a time. Even then a restart was only necessary due to a system update such as kernel or drive update. All of these boxes use the EEPG plugin and none of them display any kind of memory problem. I strongly urge

Freesat uses a Huffman encoding for EGP data, which has not made its way into VDR core. a) Plugin EEPG has these tables (and covers some other EPGs as well) b) A Freesat patch extends VDR to just the Freesat code tables. The patch also covers Freeview HD (which uses the same encoding as
