[vdr] Re: Termination when recording encrypted channels

["Dan Ratner" <dratner@softhome.net>]

Since no one responded to section of my mail about termination when
recording encrypted channels, can I assume that no one has resolved this
issue?

I am no programmer but I gather that because the plugin for encryption kicks
takes a few seconds to 'work' that during that time VDR senses no useful
data and therefore terminates.

If that is the case seems like there should be easy to add a timer or that
would increase the time before termination. Maybe this is too simplistic.
LIke I said, I am no programmer.

Your thoughts?

Subject: [vdr] Termination when recording encrypted channels


I read in the archives that people have problems with recording encrypted
channels. From what I read, there wasn't a solution but those messages were
kind of old. Just wondering if this has been addressed recently and if there
is a workaround.

The following is the output of the error:

[dan@typhoon-class-server dan]$

VDR terminates without recording anything. From a programming standpoint why
does the lack of useful data cause an exit? What is the danger if it doesn't
exit, I guess is what I am asking.

TIA
