[vdr] Re: REQUEST: Convert possible bug into a feature
How do you mean exit script? If you're talking about totally exiting
VDR then that probably would probably be overkill. I think VDR should
remain running and scanning channels.
Also, are there any sorts of figures on how much energy is consumed and
heat generated by a FF decoding versus not decoding? I'm slightly
afraid that the $320 power bills we have been paying recently are as a
direct result from having a VDR box (bills used to be closer to $200).

Now I consider this to be an undocumented feature, but I would much
prefer if it was embraced as a documented feature with defined ways
of going into and leaving such a mode. The end result is 5 to 10
degrees Celsius less heat in the computer case and presumably a
significant saving in power usage also. After all, what's the point
of the ff dvb-s card constantly decoding and displaying the digital
transmissions 24/7 regardless of whether the television is even
turned on.
I also considered such a feature, but in the soft{device,mpeg} plugin
context (even in the vdr-xine context). The goal is the same : why
dissipate energy doing useless decoding ?
Maybe this is just a matter of smart use of the exit script ?
Ideas ?
