How does that sound?
Complicated. And you did not even consider cases such as:
...
Because I've seen this restart cycle many times, and only way out of it is editing via [your favorite editor] the timers.conf file.
I have seen the problem too. Just removing timers for the failing channel does not help if you use autotimers. The way out of it is to comment out a line or two in recorder.c-file, which I did on Saturday, but my wife lost interest in watching prof. Capellari's investigations during the time it took.
But I think you missed my point - which is not a wonder, considering my writing. So I'll try to say it more clearly:
- the restarting cycle tries to solve a faulty hardware driver problem for some specific cards - outside the hardware driver - ideally, the driver would work without reloading - reloading is done as it seems the hardware driver will not get fixed. (I hope moving to DVB-S2 will make this problem obsolete, btw.) - as it is just a hack that is in the wrong place, and hopefully later obsolete, a simple solution should be chosen. - the configuration option is a simple solution.
