Hi.
For certain situations, it'd be great to exclude some channels from the automatic channel update. For example, when one has entered a channel
manually
which broadcasts wrong channel informations. With the next channel
update, all
is overwritten. So one has to either completely disable the automatic
updates
or live without the channel for the time being.
I had just a quick look over the vdr source and figured it wouldn't be
too
hard to come up with a patch to support something like this I guess. So I wanted to ask if this new feature would be considered ok for inclusion
into
vdr-1.7.x or if there are reasons against it? Otherwise I would put it on
my
todo list and get to it when I get some time... if no one else does it in
the
meantime that is. :-)
I deal with this type of problem by having two copies of the channel, with one with rid=1. The one with rid=0 will be automatically updated to incorrect values, while the one with rid=1 will not be updated, so it can be tuned as needed.
Can you have 2 channels without changing anything in the code? I had to change some functions to have this. I found that VDR deletes duplicate channels by default.
What is rid by the way?
