Check the syslog. There might be a plugin not cleanly shutting down,
making the vdr abort it's shutdown sequence causing it's settings to not
be saved.
Unless things have changed very recently, VDR doesn't save channels.conf
on shutdown.
It only saves it
a) Immediately after user manually modifies channels via VDR
b) 10 minutes after automatic channel update
I've been hit with this many times as well, so I'd suggest to change VDR
so that it saves automatic channel updates on exit as well. Suggested
patch attached (only compile-tested, so actual testing is needed).
I'm afraid it's not that simple.
channels.conf and timers.conf must always be in sync, because timers
reference channels. Plus you need to have a lock on the Channels list
to prevent any changes from other threads while saving the list.
See the main VDR loop under // Handle channel and timer modifications:
if ((modified || timeout) Channels.Lock(false, 100)) {
if (timeout) {
Channels.Save();
Timers.Save();
ChannelSaveTimeout = 0;
}
Is it really that important to explicitly save automatic channel changes
when VDR stops? After all, they will be applied again next time VDR tunes
to those transponders...

[vdr] Force VDR to save channels.conf
Hello, I have a headless vdr server - witch is just used for streamdev and xbmc. I would like to update my channels.conf as it is pretty outdated right now I have set the following in setup.conf and vdr is now searching and is detecting new channels. UpdateChannels = 5 How ever - when I restart VDR the changes are not getting saved to channels.conf. What can I do to make it save channels.conf? I think that last time I had to do this I had to connect via VNC and the vdr-ffnetdev plugin to get the OSD and to press the power button to make it shutdown and save the changes... Is there an easier was to do this? Thanks, Artem ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Re: [vdr] Force VDR to save channels.conf
Actually a forced save of setup.conf, channels.conf, and epg.data would be a good feature to have. You should msg Klaus and see if he agrees. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
