I can even innvision somehow duplicate channels being added in some race condition because the nid and tsid are part of the channel id. I believe the correct solution is to have the user set it right the first time and forget about it. If they don't know what it is they should set -1 or something that violates spec so that vdr understands this was deliberately set to "I don't know" Or you could add a bool to channels.conf to say whether you believe the sid, nid, tsid, frequency, and other bits are accurate, but then again I think that's a bit overkill. _J > Klaus > > _______________________________________________ > vdr mailing list > vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx > http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr >
