Re: [vdr] Can VDR use one specific transponder for EPG information?
Don't know. At one point it was but I know there was a patch to turn it off for slower systems that couldn't record and epg scan at the same time. But for awhile that was the recomendation, to set a nightly timer for a few minutes and then delete them. Setting the life time low for the recording should make it auto delete. I haven't tried it though. On 4/17/2011 3:15 PM, VDR User wrote: On Sun, Apr 17, 2011 at 1:31 PM, Timothy D.

Re: [vdr] Can VDR use one specific transponder for EPG information?
Thanks for the reply. What's the best way to tune to that transponder? Using SVDRP? (ie. I'm new to VDR but would I issue a CHAN command, then wait 10 minutes (or whatever), then issue another CHAN command?) Could I disable automatic EPG grabbing and manually tell it to grab EPG in my script? (using SVDRP?)

Yeah, svdrp, sorry forgot to mention that. You can issue CHAN without
a channel number to obtain the current channel. An example could be
something like:
==
#!/bin/bash
eepg_chan=whatever
prev_chan=$(svdrpsend.pl chan |sed -n 2p |awk '{print $2}')
svdrpsend.pl CHAN $eepg_chan
svdrpsend.pl SCAN
sleep 10m
svdrpsend.pl CHAN $prev_chan
==

The SCAN svdrp command forces a scan, but I don't know how disabling
EPG grabbing in VDR setup would affect that. I would expect the
behavior of a _forced_ scan to scan regardless of any settings since
the point is to force it.

Just a thought but you could set up a daily or weekly timer with a very low priority on the recording so it auto deletes it. I've never used the auto delete after set time because I never know how long it will be before I get back to watching the recording. On 4/17/2011 9:18 AM, John Klimek wrote: Thanks for the reply.
