I deal with this type of problem by having two copies of the channel, with one with rid=1. The one with rid=0 will be automatically updated to incorrect values, while the one with rid=1 will not be updated, so it can be tuned as needed.Can you have 2 channels without changing anything in the code?
I had to change some functions to have this. I found that VDR deletes duplicate channels by default.
What is rid by the way?
Duplicates would be removed, but if one channel has rid=1 and one has rid=0 they are not exact duplicates.
From man 5 vdr:
RID The Radio ID of this channel (typically 0, may be used to dis- tinguish channels where NID, TID and SID are all equal).
The fields are separated by : and the last one is the rid.
