[linux-dvb] Re: Bug report vdr-1.2.5 - error while readingtimers.conf

["Flo G." <flo@bier.homeip.net>]

Hi,

I'm new to this list and subscribed, because i had the same error
messages. The scan utility creates channel files with lines like these:
ProSieben:12480:v:S19.2E:27500:255:256;257:32:0:898:1:0:0
in the channels.conf delivered with vdr, i have:
Pro-7:12480:v:S19.2E:27500:255:256;257:32:0:898:0:0:0

but the nid is unused -> vdr shouldn't care imho.

in man 5 vdr, i read:

       A particular channel can be uniquely identified by its channel ID,
       which is a string that looks like this:

       S19.2E-0-12188-12003-0

       The components of this string are the Source (S19.2E), Frequency
       (12188, MHz) and SID (12003) as defined above. The parts that are  cur-
       rently 0 are reserved for future use (the last part can be omitted if
       it is 0, so the above example could also be written as
       S19.2E-0-12188-12003).


but that's not conform with the 1.2.5 source (channels.c):

const char *tChannelID::ToString(void)
{
  static char buffer[256];
  snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), rid ? "%s-%d-%d-%d-%d" : "%s-%d-%d-%d",
cSource::ToString(source), nid, tid, sid, rid);
  return buffer;
}

where i can't see a frequency.

b.t.w. vdr is a great product!
