And this tackles another small problem: I think that VDR doesn't delete any channels from the channels.conf in any case. So outdated channels have to be removed manually. Has there been an attempt to offer a functionality that VDR makes a note of those channels that get the line "frontend timed out while tuning to channel X" in the syslog and offers those channels for manual deletion via the OSD in a special OSD page called "Outdated channels"?
There's currently no 'official' method to track down channels that are no longer announced. There's a trick however: Modify your channels.conf so that all channel names start with [outdated], then start VDR and wait for a full transponder scan to finish. All existing channels will be renamed back to their proper names, and all remaining [outdated] channels can be dropped after some grace period.
My actuator plugin has menu options to mark, unmark and delete marked channels. The idea is, you mark the channels, do a complete satellite scan, then delete the (still) marked channels. Even if I wrote that specifically to get rid of obsolete channels, I never use it, because there are some channels that are not advertised in the nit. As a result I now have a channel.conf with more that 7000 channels and most of the entries are rubbish.
