I'm now killing my secondary vdr instances while the channels are copied by a cron job every night. It would be more practical for remote vdr-sxfe clients to keep vdr processes running to avoid loosing the streaming connection. Is it possible to signal somehow vdr to reread it's entire channels.conf when it has been changed externally? By SVDRP?
It sounds as if you are looking for the epgsync plugin.
I do get EPG trough streamdev but some other things are broken
You can find it here http://vdr.schmirler.de/.
It says "Imports the EPG of an other VDR. It is implemented as a separate thread and you can select either a quick but resource consuming or a slow operation mode. The later allows you to share the SVDRP connection with other local plugins, so you can e.g. still use the remoteosd plugin while syncing.
Since epgsync-0.0.3 it is possible to limit the import to a specific channel type (DVB-C/S/T, analog) and to lookup channels by name instead of ID. You could e.g. copy the EPG of DVB channels to their analog counterparts."
Does it synchronize channels too?
