Hello,

as I can't live anymore without master-timer, I would like to know if
the change in vdr-1.3.38 breaks master-timer support ?

And by the way, on 11 Dec 2005, Olaf Titz wrote on this ml a patch :


It should allow a force to save the EPG, I have done lots of test to try
to really force it, but without success, for example like this :

Kill vdr
rm -f /video0/epg.data
run vdr
zap a lots under vdr such that EPG gets full
touch -r /bin/bash /video0/epg.data
sleep 60
ls -al /video0/epg.data still reports "0" as size...

Thank you very much,

master timer can also read its data via LSTE which works more reliable, 
however, if something has changed there it is likely to break. Though i 
assume its not hard to fix.

Can't test it - personally i have to stick with 1.2.6 for now, as i didn't get 
analogtv working with 1.3.x for unknown reasons (the last time i tried), no 
picture :-(

AFAICS from reading the Change-file and the later 'vdradmin broke'-mails:
No

Master-Timer only uses the first 3 fields of "E"-fields in the epg.data.

It ignores the 4th and the new 5th field.




Bis denn
