I think this is just a different name for the same thing in vdr. Avoiding the use in idle state means no EGP scan, right?

I will have a look into the code ....

can you try my epgscan branch? https://github.com/FernetMenta/vdr-plugi...ee/epgscan

I added a setup parameter to vnsi which avoids epg scan while streaming, if enabled

Will do as soon as i'm home!

How do i set this new parameter? in setup.conf? I don't have a vdr UI

If you have XBMC on Linux, Windows, RPi, and may some other platforms I have not tried myself, you have VDR UI:

Color buttons are important in VDR UI. You can map those as explained here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...or+buttons

Ok, and howto set it manually? i don't have a remote for xbmc with colored buttons..

FernetMenta · 2014-09-02, 17:35

Add this to your setup.conf:
vnsiserver.AvoidEPGScan = 1

btw: you don't need a remote, you can map keys of your keyboard to color buttons. I use key <g> for green when in this dialog. you may want to try some day Smile

tnx. it does not work, still seeing the artifacts... i also disabled the setting 'Show signal status' on the live tv playback settings menu. I'm sure i build the correct branch:

sudo cat streamer.c | grep AvoidEPGScan
if (AvoidEPGScan)

FernetMenta · 2014-09-02, 18:14

silly me, I forgot to load the parameter: https://github.com/FernetMenta/vdr-plugi...67db8445f4

can you rebase to the branch and try again

posixx · 2014-09-02, 18:55

that's better:-) looking good so far, i will watch the program which starts in a couple of minutes and report back in about an hour!

posixx · 2014-09-02, 20:19

Rocksolid during the whole progam! Works very good FernetMenta!

Many, many thanks. If you need additional testing let me know.

FernetMenta · 2014-09-02, 20:39

Thank you very much! I will pull this change to master branch and release a new version soon.

posixx · 2014-09-02, 20:54

an additional question: are there other plugins (apart from vnsiserver) which can cause a epg scan during streaming? Or is this problem vnsi-related only?

FernetMenta · 2014-09-02, 21:16

epg scan is done and triggered by vdr only, not by vnsi. what I do with this change is that vnsi prevents vdr from scanning epg while vnsi is streaming. vnsi does so by continuously resetting the timer of the scanner. I don't think any other plugins can influence this behavior in a way that it won't work anymore.

posixx · 2014-09-02, 21:30

Great, solved then!! Many thanks again, i'm sure many others will benefit from this change.

posixx · 2014-09-03, 07:58

Did you merge this already into master? If you did i change my build script so i use the correct versions again.
