Instead -of those the screen will stay black, the sound muted, an info message -appears in the OSD and after a configurable pause the vdr switches to -another channel. - -Unwanted shows are identified by their EPG title in a predefined blacklist. -You can add the current title to the block plugin blacklist by choosing -'Block Broadcast' from the main VDR menu or by editing the blacklist in the -setup of the plugin. In the latter case make sure you close the submenus as -well as the setup menu by 'ok' to properly save your changes. This would -also be the right place to remove entries from the blacklist. - -Every time the VDR switches to another channel the block plugin checks if -the EPG title of the current show matches with a blacklist entry and if so -the show won't be displayed and after a configurable pause (default 2s) the -VDR switches to another channel automatically. Usually this will be the next -possible lower channel number if you were coming from a higher one or -vice-versa. If this is not possible, the vdr switches to the last channel -displayed. Of course you can zap to another channel yourself as well. - -In case you unexpectedly want to watch a blacklisted show you can override -the block rule by pressing 'Ok' while the message is displayed. - -For VDR versions <= 1.3.16 you will have to apply the included patch to the -VDR source in order to have multiple channels being blocked in a row. -Otherwise the block plugin will only skip the first channel. The patch -originates from the taste plugin and was written by Sascha Volkenandt. - |
