Hello everyone,
when using the status plugin and tuning to a channel without an epg schedule, the syslog gets flooded with some hundreds of OsdProgramme messages:
Nov 3 20:16:17 vdr vdr: [4676] status: cStatusTest::OsdChannel 2079 TechniSat Kanal 50 Nov 3 20:16:17 vdr vdr: [4676] status: cStatusTest::OsdProgramme Nov 3 20:16:17 vdr vdr: [4676] 01:00 (null) Nov 3 20:16:17 vdr vdr: [4676] (null) Nov 3 20:16:17 vdr vdr: [4676] 01:00 (null) Nov 3 20:16:17 vdr vdr: [4676] (null) Nov 3 20:16:17 vdr vdr: [4676] status: cStatusTest::OsdProgramme Nov 3 20:16:17 vdr vdr: [4676] 01:00 (null) Nov 3 20:16:17 vdr vdr: [4676] (null) Nov 3 20:16:17 vdr vdr: [4676] 01:00 (null) Nov 3 20:16:17 vdr vdr: [4676] (null) [...]
These messages are caused by the else part in cDisplayChannel::DisplayInfo in menu.c:
void cDisplayChannel::DisplayInfo(void) { if (withInfo && channel) { cSchedulesLock SchedulesLock; const cSchedules *Schedules = cSchedules::Schedules(SchedulesLock); if (Schedules) { const cSchedule *Schedule = Schedules->GetSchedule(channel); if (Schedule) { const cEvent *Present = Schedule->GetPresentEvent(); const cEvent *Following = Schedule->GetFollowingEvent(); if (Present != lastPresent || Following != lastFollowing) { SetTrackDescriptions(channel->Number()); displayChannel->SetEvents(Present, Following); cStatus::MsgOsdProgramme(Present ? Present->StartTime() : 0, Present ? Present->Title() : NULL, Present ? Present->ShortText() lastPresent = Present; lastFollowing = Following; } } else cStatus::MsgOsdProgramme(0, NULL, NULL, 0, NULL, NULL); } } }
I would suggest removing the else part, because this MsgOsdProgramme call provides no information. As an alternative it should be limited to one call, similar to the check "(Present != lastPresent || Following != lastFollowing)" some lines above.
There is no such line in the original VDR source - and never has been.
Are you using a patched version of VDR?
