[vdr] Re: cpu load remains high when recording is finished

Well, I don't think it's ok. What CPU du you have? My EPIA M6000 (forgot 
about the CPU name now) goes up to 15%, but it's a very slow CPU (600 MHz)

Yes, it is. When recording, VDR enters a so called "transfer mode", and 
it does not leave it after the recording is finished. Transfer mode will 
be stopped if you switch channels.

I don't like this behaviour, too, because it prevents the EPG scan from 
running (if you do a late night recording, transfer mode stays active 
the whole night and maybe the next day, no EPG scan is done, no EPG data 
available, VDRadmin's AutoTimers will not work).

bye, Michael
