[vdr] PATCH: tvtv plugin and deleting timers

[vdr@bju.homelinux.net]

Hello,

I like it to schedule timers over the internet using the tvtv plugin.

The problem:
------------

Unfortunately with the original plugin there is no way to remove
timers once they are received from the plugin. Therefore I have
slightly modified the plugin to add this missing feature. Now
timers scheduled using tvtv.de can be removed simply by clicking
the record button once again.

How it works:
-------------

Timers created using tvtv.de now will be prefixed with "TVTV+".
Before each update, the plugin now changed this prefixes from
"TVTV+" to "TVTV-". Timers received again from tvtv.de will be
renamed back to "TVTV+".

So, after the update is completed, all timers with prefix "TVTV-"
can be removed (if they are not currently recording). Locally
created timers will not be affected.

To remove the "TVTV+" prefix from the created directory names,
one can use vdr's "-r script" option.

OK - this way is not very elegant, but it's working for me.

Download:
---------

I have created a patch for the original tvtv-0.1.6. This patch
includes the following changes:

- adding the removal feature
- corrected ChannelMap.h for some new senders

The patch can be downloaded at

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/vdr-statusleds/tvtv-0.1.6-withdelete.patch?download

Problems:
---------

- The recorded directories have the prefix "TVTV+", which must be
  removed external.
- It's not pssible to remove tvtv timers locally. The next update will
  reinsert the timers. This is not a problem of the patch ;-)

Have fun!
Bernd
