Good morning,
I see logging like this all the time in my syslog file:
May 22 06:36:45 hex vdr: [31292] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 31, tp 298 May 22 06:37:06 hex vdr: [31292] frontend 0 timed out while tuning to channel 33, tp 322
And:
May 22 09:59:58 hex vdr: [31292] frontend 0 lost lock on channel 41, tp 338 May 22 09:59:59 hex vdr: [31292] frontend 0 regained lock on channel 41, tp 338 May 22 10:00:01 hex vdr: [31292] frontend 0 lost lock on channel 41, tp 338 May 22 10:00:01 hex vdr: [31292] frontend 0 regained lock on channel 41, tp 338
What does this mean? The channels referred to (31, 33 and 41) are channels that we never, ever watch as they are encrypted. Normally these three or neighbor channels are referred to in the error logging. We almost never use channels above 20. So, why does VDR try to tune into them and why would it fail? We have two FF cards but we still would like them both to do something that benefits us, not go randomly tune into uninteresting channels. :)
Well, I'm still working on the code that reads the user's mind and determines what they might find "interesting" ;-)
You can turn off the EPG scan to keep VDR from tuning through the various transponders.
