Re: [vdr] nfs sharing epg.data

i suggest the introduction of a new command line option to switch off writing any epg data (implicitly switching off epg scan). this way only the server vdr maintains the epg and the clients only read it.

The clients would only read this once at program start. I don't think this would be a good idea...

ic. so vdr only writes to the file (and reads it once at startup) and gets the EPG from internal data structures in ram on demand. so sharing epg.data is not so good of an idea.

nevertheless, running vdr in a client-server environment is becoming increasingly popular so this would be a nice feature. most notably if you inject epg from different sources (internet).
