Hi,
I was hunting a bug in VDRAdmin when I stumbled on "confusing" behaviour in VDR1.3.34:
Programming a timer using "newt ..." and a very long summary leads to "line too long" error message. Made some debugging and it seems that a line can be up to 10239 characters. So I shortened the "newt" call to 10239 and VDR accepted it. Reviewed to timer in the VDR OSD and it showed up. Later I had to restart VDR and it refused to read timers.conf! Then I manually edited timers.conf until VDR accepted it. I had to shorten the "newt" call to 10218 characters to get all working. Looking at VDR'S source the parse buffer is 10k (10240 byte).
Are there some circumstances I don't get? Please enlighten me!
Regards, Andreas
Are you writing the entire film's script into the timer's 'summary'?
Even in my wildest dreams I would never have expected that 10KB would _ever_ be too little for this...
Are you really sure this is a good thing to do?
