[vdr] Where is epg.data supposed to be created by default?

2013-03-13 Thread Magnus Sirwiö 

# vdr --version
Mar 13 09:52:26.599 [general.debug] using new 1.7.11+ capture code
vdr (1.7.40/1.7.40) - The Video Disk Recorder

# vdr --help
...
  -E FILE,  --epgfile=FILE write the EPG data into the given FILE (default is
                           'epg.data' in the video directory)
                           '-E-' disables this
                           if FILE is a directory, the default EPG file will be
                           created in that directory
...

Starting vdr with
# vdr -u vdr --cachedir=/var/cache/vdr --video=/var/vdr/video

Does create an epg.data file in the cachedir and not in the video dir as 
suggested by the help text.

Also what is the meaning of setting --epgfile=-E-
Does it disable creation of the epg data file completely? If not - what does 
the description '-E-' disable this refer to?

Originally there was only the video directory, but at some point
people demanded that VDR be able to spread its files all over the system,
and so a cachedir was introduced, which is where the EPG file is now put
(if a cachedir is specified).


Also what is the meaning of setting --epgfile=-E-


It'e either -E- or --epgfile=-

Yes.
