And other feature, this is deleting absent channels. If provider was deleted channels, you need delete it from channels.conf manually. After this patch, vdr auto deleting channels, which not present on transponder in sdt. Need select "delete absent channels" in dvb settings menu, but if you selected channels update or transponder update.
I am very interested in this feature. My providers (astra/hotbird) are smart enough not to send not to much garbage, but deleting of unused channels is really a pain. I am at 4500 Channels in my channels.conf and I am pretty sure that at least 30 % of them are long gone.
Is it possible to have that feature seperated ? @kls ... and include it in the mainline ?
Beware... VDRadmin (and maybe other applications) uses the line number in channels.conf to decide whether to display a channel. Deleting defunct channels would mess this up.
