No, it is not, to preserve compatibility and to keep the patch minimal. 
The patch keeps this information only on a per-session base. The plugin 
then stores the information in a separate file across sessions.

I'll see what I can do.

..and ofcourse it's the file delay parameter found in channels.conf and 
not the buffer size as mentioned above.

README:
"Also a file input method is supported, but a file delay must be 
selected individually to prevent VDR's transfer buffer over/underflow. 
Therefore the file input should be considered as a testing feature 
only."

 have acces to the setupStore.

2007-04-12:

[vdr] [ANNOUNCE] muggle 0.2.1

2008-04-18 Thread Wolfgang Rohdewald
Muggle 0.2.0 has been released.

2008-04-18 Version 0.2.1-BETA
- if lyrics are loaded from internet and no local lyrics exist yet, they are now
  saved automatically
- display small cover: Appeared at left border instead at the right side
- sqlite3: muggle segfaulted in special situations
- fix segfault if the cache directory has a long path
- if at muggle start we land in an empty list because the saved state does not
  match the database, it could happen that we never get anything displayed until
  we delete muggle.state and restart muggle. Now muggle goes up to the parent 
level
- reintroduced Finnish translation, translated by Ville Skyttä
- if we got lyrics from the net but did not save it, the temporary file 
.lyrics.tmp
  will be deleted when the next track starts playing (only while in lyrics mode,
  if you leave it, the tmp file remains)
- vdr versions before 1.5.4 supported again: With them, lyrics cannot be 
fetched in the
  background. So muggle will not answer to commands until the fetching script 
has
  finished. And the message "loading lyrics" will only appear after they have 
been
  loaded. If you don't like it, update vdr or send me a patch.
- make the compile option USE_BITMAP work again on unmodified FF cards
- make sure a displayed list is never empty by moving up in the tree if needed.
  If the list is then still empty, display an item "Synchronize data base".
- change the compile option USE_BITMAP into a setup variant: New background 
mode "Bitmap".
  This is for those whose computers have problems with showing mpeg covers like
  "timeout waiting for LoadBitmap" in the FF card driver
- rename background mode to image mode which is more appropriate since the last 
changes.
  Since this also changes the name under which the value is stored in the setup 
file,
  you will lose your old value after updating.

Re: [vdr] iptv FILE .ts stalling & not switching streams

The FILE protocol was meant only for development phase. It has buffering 
problems and you'll have to tweak the buffer size to avoid buffer under- 
and overflows.

The "S0P2" should be "S0P1". Only 0 or 1 are defined, but any non-zero 
value will be handled like 1 at the moment.

> buffered 8.0 frames (v:15.8, a:8.0)

These are not originating from iptv plugin nor vanilla vdr, but maybe 
from an output device plugin (xine/xineliboutput/softdevice) you're 
using.

> 2) Although the other PIDS get picked up within the stream, when I try to

You've activated the pid scanner and it doesn't handle multiple 
video/audio pids, but detects always only the first one.

The video and audio pids are the same for all of these. If you're using 
the example iptvstream.sh script as a template, you should enable the 
pid scanner for these or manually correct the pids: video pid is 
parameter plus one and audio pid is parameter plus two:

NZ Govt TV:2:IPTV|S0P1|EXT|iptvstream.sh|2:P:0:3:4:0:0:1:0:0:0

No problem the CLE266 limit is 1600x1050 I am running mine at 1440x900.

I have used vdr xineliboutput running on an EPIA-M1 which has the 
same CLE266 MPEG decoder chip as your board. Works with fullscreen 
1680x1050 and hardware decoding. Needs the OpenChrome graphics driver, 
of course. Usually also "strange" resolutions as yours work fine with 
the appropriate modeline in the xorg.conf.

Is this timestamp stored in the channels.conf? If so, what about
