This is done in /usr/share/vdr/shutdown-hooks/S90.acpiwakeup, which is
called by vdr upon exiting.

Please read the section "automatic shutdown" from vdr's source here:



This will explain how Tobi's script learns the parameters.

It is written by the script S90.acpiwakeup that is called from the 
vdr on

shutdown.
As I read the scrip given in the link there is no way to use the 
scheduled recording time to automatically deduce the next wakeup time. 

vdr provides the time in UTC unix time to the script as first parameter.

Or should a take a break or coffee?

yes
Not the script given in the link that has been posted. Care to point to 
a more recent/different version?

It works nicely on my system, after turning off HPET on boot.

   

Thank for this part of the script. Job is half done at least.
 

I use it already for years and didn't notice that something is missing.
Could you please enlighten me what is missing?

Readding the scripts I do not know what part of the software is going to write
/var/cache/vdr/acpiwakeup.time and also I shall manually set wake up time in 
the config file.

What I would like is using the stored planned recording information to 
automatically deduce the next wakeup time.

[vdr] VDR and ACPI wakeup for recording

[Eric Valette]

Hi klaus,

I was trying to wake up my small PC for automatic recording and 
initially found things about nvram-wakeup program but found it was not 
supported nor available in my BIOS. Then I found




and I checked that this method works on the tree PC I have. Now the 
question I have are:

1) Has this already been integrated to vdr?
2) is there interest for it

I guess that the best way to do it is to have vdr export the next 
recording time, and that unless a timer for wakeup is already set it, it 
use this value in shutdown script.


Any comment?
