Hi all,

I am using vdr-1.4.5. If I have started a recording without VPS it does automatically resume the recording, if VDR has been restarted (either manually or caused by a reset).

This is not working for a VPS recording.

I just tried that and it did resume the VPS recording just fine after restarting VDR.

Maybe there are specific conditions under which this doesn't work?

I could imagin that in that case the recording is fully controlled by the VPS signal. IMHO there should be some vanity check for the recording with VPS to avoid nonsens, e.g the recording should stop after, let say, 8 hours, even if no VPS stop signal has been received. I used to have a recording with 1380 minutes, I guess the stop signal was never detected. This kind of check should be used for the resume after a restart as well.

Having a sanity check for the absolute maximum of a VPS controlled recording might be a good idea. However, I guess this will have to be yet another setup parameter. And it should control the maximum overtime, so that it doesn't matter how long the original scheduled time is. After all, somebody might want to record a show that runs for more than 8 hours...

I'll see what I can do in version 1.5.
