The patch adds a new configuration option to setup.conf, called "OnDemand"; it defaults to 0 (exactly the current behaviour). If set to 1, tuners will be appropriately opened and closed when switching channels. I've tested it with the vnsi plugin and XBMC. > I'd be happy if someone could review it and tell me if there is anything to correct and if it is possible to mainline it. > Alberto > <aod.diff>_______________________________________________ > vdr mailing list > vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx > http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr Ciao Alberto, Interesting work. I live in the UK and have an HVR4000 for DVB-S. Unfortunately DVB-T reception is poor where I live (hence the satellite solution - additional multilnb to point at 28.2E and 13.0E for L'Eridita) so I cannot fully test this past patching and compiling which I assume will work as you state you have tested. Looking at the patch, there is something about inhibit epgscan. I do not know much about vdr internals. Would patching vdr and enabling the ondemand option stop epg from updating? A slight negative if this is the case. Ian. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
