Moin,
The solution with three options sounds best: restart always, if no other (working) recordings, never.
But this doesn't stop the "VDR started to restart itself every minute"- problem completely. If there was already one emergency exit shortly before and the stream didn't come back, it doesn't help to restart again. And again. And again ...
So an additional parameter "Minimal time between emergency exits (minutes)" IMHO would help
Maybe a solution for all the ideas in here ? Let vdr call a command and decide based on exit status ? This could be simply set to /bin/false for never restart or any sophisticated logic for everything else ?
