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 ....
RE: VDR + VNSI + DVBAPI - FernetMenta - 2014-09-02
can you try my epgscan branch? https://github.com/FernetMenta/vdr-plugin-vnsiserver/tree/epgscan
I added a setup parameter to vnsi which avoids epg scan while streaming, if enabled
RE: VDR + VNSI + DVBAPI - posixx - 2014-09-02
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
RE: VDR + VNSI + DVBAPI - FernetMenta - 2014-09-02
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=162830&highlight=color+buttons
RE: VDR + VNSI + DVBAPI - posixx - 2014-09-02
Ok, and howto set it manually? i don't have a remote for xbmc with colored buttons..
RE: VDR + VNSI + DVBAPI - FernetMenta - 2014-09-02
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
RE: VDR + VNSI + DVBAPI - posixx - 2014-09-02
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)
RE: VDR + VNSI + DVBAPI - FernetMenta - 2014-09-02
silly me, I forgot to load the parameter: https://github.com/FernetMenta/vdr-plugin-vnsiserver/commit/fed697ecbd3e563ba565f4fe0e254067db8445f4
can you rebase to the branch and try again
RE: VDR + VNSI + DVBAPI - posixx - 2014-09-02
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!
RE: VDR + VNSI + DVBAPI - posixx - 2014-09-02
Rocksolid during the whole progam! Works very good FernetMenta!
Many, many thanks. If you need additional testing let me know.
RE: VDR + VNSI + DVBAPI - FernetMenta - 2014-09-02
Thank you very much! I will pull this change to master branch and release a new version soon.
RE: VDR + VNSI + DVBAPI - posixx - 2014-09-02
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?
RE: VDR + VNSI + DVBAPI - FernetMenta - 2014-09-02
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.
RE: VDR + VNSI + DVBAPI - posixx - 2014-09-02
Great, solved then!! Many thanks again, i'm sure many others will benefit from this change.
RE: VDR + VNSI + DVBAPI - posixx - 2014-09-03
Did you merge this already into master? If you did i change my build script so i use the correct versions again.
