Hi Carsten,
The attached file hangs vdr >= 1.3.25 when I press the info button on the recording. The file was created by and works fine with vdr < 1.3.25.
from the announcement of vdr 1.3.25:
The file 'summary.vdr' has been replaced with 'info.vdr' and now contains the information about a recording, in the same format as the events are stored in 'epg.data' (see man vdr(5) for details). Existing summary files can be converted to the new format by running the Perl script 'summary2info.pl', as in
summary2info.pl /video
I have read that.
But the announcement also said "If there is no 'info.vdr' file for a recording, an attempt is made to read a 'summary.vdr'. "
And of course vdr < 1.3.25 cannot read info.vdr files. I have more than one VDR machine sharing the same /video, so for me it is best to use the "lowest common denominator" which is clearly summary.vdr.
In any event, I bet the same hang can be reproduced with an info.vdr file as well, but don't you think summary.vdr files should work without hanging vdr as long as vdr reads them at all?
Carsten.
