Hi Klaus,
On the returning due to modification issue:
At one point I accessed the setup file as root, but I run VDR as a different user. I changed the OSD options as the user, but the settings were not saved to the file due to permissions issue. So VDR was set to update all info for the channel.
Well, it's the simplest way to make sure everything gets adjusted to the changed channel data, no matter what it is. Due to, for instance, a change in the CA parameter of a channel it might not even be available any more because it changed from FTA to encrypted.
I'm not sure I fully understand the CA system, but usually after a channel is tuned, doesn't the CA field get populated with the correct info?
Isn't the channel updating only needed one time IF the status does not change from encrypted to FTA? I guess I'm trying to understand what in an encrypted channel actually does require the "returning due to modification".
I only vaguely understand those fields (CA) since I wrote a channel parsing program to translate a channel listing in CSV into VDR's channel.conf format.
The other idea is if VDR has an issue tuning a channel (i.e. if there is a failure to lock), perhaps *then* the channel entry should get "adjusted" ?
Thanks, CR.
