Somewhat related - I'm wondering why comments are not allowed in channels.conf, remote.conf, setup.conf and timers.conf?
Or actually more generally why an option for disallowing comments in some *.conf files exists in the first place :)
Some files are "human written" and will not be overwritten by VDR. In those files comments make sense.
Other files are automatically written by VDR, so comments don't make much sense there.
But I have no problem with allowing comments in all files and just dropping them when automatically writing back those files. Is this something you'd like to have?
