Hi! OK, the culprit was "TimeOut=0". If I set it to any other value everything is fine. Klaus, I think you should move the test for "TimeOut=0" somewhere else (as as sketched in the morning)... since it is somewhat confusing, that TimeOut=0 even prevents manually triggered EPG scans. Some more thoughts on that issue... as far as I understand, the EPG-scan timeout only affects single-card systems, since otherwise EPG-Scan is done anyway, so: - It is useful if vdr is running 24/7, because you can set it to a high value such that it does not disturb live-tv. - In my case, vdr is only up when i watch live-tv, watch a recording, or record something. If I set the timeout to a low value (1h) it is annoying during live-tv. On the other hand, it would enable EPG-scan while watching recordings. If I set it to a high value, it does not disturb live-tv, but most likely will never kick in, because I probably never watch such long recordings. In both cases, I don't find it very useful. - What about a configuration option "EPG-Search only when viewing a recording"? If it is disabled, everything is like it is now. If enabled, I might set the timeout to 1h, and EPG-scan only happens when I watch a recording and it does not disturb there... Another thing that might be useful: I'm currently setting up the wake-up such that vdr is powered on each night and an EPG-scan is triggered via SVDRP. It would be useful, if I could add a parameter "power off after scan"... of course that would be done anyway by means of the user idle setting, but why waiting 45 minutes (in my case) if a scan lasts, say, 10 minutes? Does anybody have/know patches in these two directions? If not, I possibly will try to find some spare time to do this myself... Bernhard PS: That's the 3rd attempt to post this reply... now using Linux as I did for the other posts. The other two attempts have been made using WindowsXP/Thunderbird... can anybody tell me why they are rejected?
