Hi, there are some points that I don?t like with the current implementation of radio channels: 1) I have sorted my channel list lately and have put the new German radio channels (BR, HR, WDR etc.) at the beginning of the channels.conf. But after an EPG scan, I got all those channels again and the end of the channels.conf, so that I have all of them twice. Unfortunately, I don?t have access to my channels.conf now so that I can?t post parts of it, but if somebody else has this problem, this seems to be a VDR bug as long as Astra does not send those channels twice. 2) I was told (if I understood correctly) that because radio channels don?t transmit video data, the index.vdr contains an I frame for every audio packet. This has 2 disadvantages: 1. The time is displayed wrong, and 2. starting a radio recording takes very long (around 10 seconds without any reaction of VDR?) on a 90 minutes recording from "WDR Mehrkanaltest" until I hear anything, maybe because it takes so long to read the index.vdr? The advantage seems to be that I can cut radio at every single frame, but as I am also not able to this with TV and need external tools for this (I use Cuttermaran for Win), I would rather prefer exact time information and a faster start of playback and use external tools if I want it exact (e.g. for archiving it on DVD). Frame exact cut for TV and radio could then become a goal for VDR 1.5.x. 3) A separate main menu entry for radio channels. With kind regards Joerg
