hi,
what do you think about: http://www.videgor.de/
i have 3 vdr at home and try to find a solution to share the timers between the vdr. at the moment i do it by the webfrontend, because one of the vdr is on the roof. i would like to have a solution so that the vdr automatically do this. i use one big network-filesystem, so that every vdr can see the recordings.
the idea of videgor is exactly what i want, but i don't like to patch the vdr, because maybe the patch can not be used in a future version. i don't want to be dependent on a old version.
is there any other solution to share the timers automatically amoung >1 vdr?
klaus: do you plan to integrate some functionality like this?

Hello
See the install instruction on the homepage:
<<<<<<<<< Install Patches. For each patch file in the videgor distribution execute the command
patch < vdr-1.3.xx.xxxxx.patch
once. (while being in the $VDR directory). After patching the VDR has to be recompiled. <<<<<<<<<
Maybe you should talk about this Plugin at www.vdr-portal.de (in German or English at the International rubric)

Are you sure that VDR will actually need to be patched to have this functionality?
Yes. There are three patches:
epgversion: EPG events have versions attached. The patch records these versions on disk. Version are used when broadcasters update their schedule. videgor needs this to decide whether a EPG event received from the network is up-to-date
setversion: Just adds a public setter method cTimer::SetPriority()
pasttimer: Allows to create timers in the past and avoids the automated deletion routines for old timers.
For the first two I can imaging that these patches will be included in the VDR. The last one is not useful for a non-videgor VDR

I have two, but they do not have "equal rights". The master VDR is always on, has 1 FF and 2 budget cards, does all recordings, has hard disks and runs the DHCP and tftp servers for the slave. The slave is only on when I am watching, has 1 FF card, does no recording and had no hard disk.
Both share the same pool of directories. /video is on the master and contains symbolic links to the (Genre) top-level directories which are distributed over 9 disks. The master contains some of theses disks and nfs-mounts the rest from another server. The slave nfs-mounts from the master and the other server.
I have made a tiny extension to the runvdr script on the slave which moves timer entries to the master every time vdr restarts on the slave, so I can "remotely" program the master's timers from the slave.

I have a central server with 4 DVB-S cards and 2 NFS-clients. Recording is only done on the server an programming happens at the server or by web.
I have currently no usage for a more distributed timer programming. Most of the recordings are done by autotimers of vdradmin.
