The last line is repeated regularly.
I have noticed that vdr doesn't save something in epg.data, when I deleted
the file and reboot, no new data is saved until I boot kernel 4.20 or older.
I got into that a bit more and I have to say that I'm wrong about that EPG
data. I can't really see a pattern, it feels like receiveing EPG data
takes much longer with 5.0-rc as older kernel do, but I just can be wrong.
But then... for what is that debug message repeated regularly? Is there
something wrong or not?
Thanks,
Thomas
