Hi all,
I've managed to import EPG data for 2-3 weeks in advance. The trouble is I use epgsearch to automatically create timers to record a couple of series. This leads me to have around 20 active timers.
It seems that the more timers you have the slower VDR (1.3.21) becomes. I normally get "max. latency time 2 seconds" in my syslog, however when I have 20 timers, I get "max. latency time 17 seconds". What's causing it to slow down so much?
I've tried removing all plugins but if I leave the timers, I still get this long latency and the OSD becomes really slow.
You could do some profiling with gprof. To that you need to link vdr with -- hmm -- I think gp (read: add -lgp when linking), then run it inside gprof (gprof vdr ....).
