If so, what about compatibility? 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. If there's interest in this, I can publish these two. Yes, i would be interested. Please post it. I'll see what I can do.

If a channel was not seen for some time, the channel name gets marked, and the channel can easily be deleted manually later. If there's interest in this, I can publish these two.

En/na Peter Evertz ha escrit: I am very interested in this feature. My providers (astra/hotbird) are smart enough not to send not to much garbage, but deleting of unused channels is really a pain. I am at 4500 Channels in my channels.conf and I am pretty sure that at least 30 % of them are long gone. Beware, though, that there are providers that don't advertise channels in the sdt even if the channels are currently broadcasting. In the actuator plugin I have an option to prefix a '+' to all channels in the current satellite, then you start a channel scan which will update all active channels (i.e removing the '+'). At the end of the scan you can tell it to delete all channels marked with '+'. It's clumsier but it's safer, since you can revise the channels that are going to be deleted before actually deleting them. Of course all of this wouldn't be necessary if all broadcasters respected the standards Bye -- Luca ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Beware... VDRadmin (and maybe other applications) uses the line number in channels.conf to decide whether to display a channel. Deleting defunct channels would mess this up. -- Dave ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
