[vdr] Re: Help to schedule daily mhwepg

Hi swen,

I knew your post from the 21.6.2003, but it seems to be a little complcated
for me to use it (modifiy inittab etc..).

Using your script and others founded in some forum, I've found how update
epg.data easily without shutdown vdr. I think if we launch the script each
night (for exemple at 3 am) by CRON, it could be ok.

*****************************************************
#!/bin/sh
(sleep 1; echo "CHAN 232"; sleep 2; echo "QUIT") | telnet localhost 2001
./mhwepg -s S19.2E -e equiv.csn -o /video/epg.csn.data
sleep 90
cat /video.epg.csn.data | /usr/local/bin/loadepg.pl
*****************************************************

One more thing, one guy propose to backup active channel before processing
epg update, but it doesnt't work (syntax pb I think).

backup :
chaine=`/usr/local/src/VDR/svdrpsend.pl CHAN | grep 250 | cut -d" " -f 2`

restore :
/usr/local/src/VDR/svdrpsend.pl CHAN $chaine

Could someone could tell me if there is a glitch on theses lines.

Thanks a lot !


Bye !
Karim.

dear vdr users,

i have a little startup environment, which i want to show up for comments ..

/etc/inittab,
        where ID V0 is to respawn /video/rvdr.sh

/video/rvdr.sh,
        which is the general startup script, which respects /video/vdr.lock

/video/plugins/loadepg.pl,
        to push the mhwepg epg data up to the running vdr via svdrp,
        or any other epg data set ..

/video/plugins/mhwepg.sh,
        my szap/mhwepg,loadepg.pl script, which pauses vdr as well

/video/channels-szap-astra.conf,
        my szap astra channels which allready includes mhwepg channels

http://www.jausoft.com/Files/vdr/vdr.mhwepg.script.tar.bz2

RFC

+++

what i am looking for:

an entry in commands.conf to start /video/plugins/mhwepg.sh,
problem: this script wants to killall vdr and mplayer ;-)

a cronjob is maybe not a nice solution, 'cause of maybe unwanted
vdr interruption ..

+++

thx, sven
