Vom: Mon, 6 Apr 2020 15:07:31 +0200 I've fiddled with the settings and when I changed "Audio-Languages" from 1 to 2 and configured Language 1 to german and 2 to english, I could switch to NHK WORLD-JAPAN which previously didn't work. I suppose the other unencrypted channels could work, too when I select the correct audio language. I'm quite happy the way it is. Thank you so much Olly and Klas for your help! Just another question: Is there a way to run the script before VDR starts to tune to a channel? Or after it stops playback of any channel? I would run the script at midnight and restart VDR to reload the new channels.conf but when I record something, the recording would be interrupted that way. Maybe there's a better solution than checking if VDR is recording, then run the script and if it's recording just wait for the next day? Here is the simple python script I use to filter encrypted channels, in case anyone is interested: # -------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/env python3 """filter encrypted channels from VDR channels.conf""" import sys # field definitions according to "man 5 vdr" and # https://github.com/yavdr/vdr/blob/master/channels.c#L571 fields = { "full_name": 0, "frequency": 1, "parameters": 2, "source": 3, "srate": 4, "vpid": 5, "apid": 6, "tpid": 7, "caid": 8, "sid": 9, "nid": 10, "tid": 11, "rid": 12 } if __name__ == "__main__": """Usage: vdr_filter_encrpyted.py /etc/vdr/channels.conf""" # parse channels.conf channels = [] filename = sys.argv[1] with open(filename, encoding="latin-1") as channels_conf: for channel in channels_conf: # strip trailing newline channel = channel.rstrip() # split fields channels += [ channel.split(':') ] print(f"{len(channels)} channels read from {filename}.") # save free channels unencrypted_count = 0 with open(filename, encoding="latin-1", mode="w") as channels_conf: for channel in channels: # is channel encrypted? if channel[fields["caid"]] != "0": # skip continue # write to channels.conf channels_conf.write(":".join(channel) + "\n") unencrypted_count += 1 print(f"{unencrypted_count} unencrypted channels written") Regards, Daniel _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx https://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
