Since a few days i have a problem that vdr looses all its EPG entries on restart, epg.data stays empty.
(If this is relevant - the epg entries are inserted by analogtv via external application)
Of course i have given myself the answer:
Reason was not opening the fd_frontend at all, which was required for safe signalless operation (opening and instantly calling FE_SLEEP turned out to be instable as even with analogtv-only setup vdr somehome emits ioctls which open the frontend again which does lead to the unfamous ARM-crash due to overheating).
So i changed dvbdevice.c so, that "scanner" and "siProcessor" are created anyway, even if fd_frontend is patched to stay closed.
Did i miss anything with this? At least it seems to work again now.
BTW - is there an option for similar behaviour in vdr 1.3.x ? (i still can't use it, it is so unstable in my setup, it seems it stress the card to much, maybe because of the higher OSD-load? i tried it with my current firmware and with the recommended new firmware)
