TVAnytime has its own set of data descriptors to handle late-running -or cancelled programmes but these are not used by Freeview Plus. Instead the -Running Status from the now/next section of the EIT is used to start and stop -the recording. - -VDR can control timers from the running status by using 'VPS' functions in -conjunction with this patch. Note however that the normal VPS operation will no -longer work. - -To use VPS for accurate recording, some conditions must be met: - -- VDR must be compiled with the 'VPS Fallback' patch (included with this - plugin). Note that some Linux distributions (esp. Mandriva) include this - patch in their binaries. -- Parameters 'UseVps' and 'VpsFallback' in setup.conf must both be set to 1 -- Timers must have the 'use VPS' flag set -- The start time of a timer must be set to exactly the scheduled start time of - the programme (ie no padding). - -With these conditions met, the sequence of events is: - -- Shortly before the scheduled time of the recording (set by 'VpsMargin' in - VDR's setup.conf) VDR switches to the multiplex containing the channel to be - recorded -- VDR monitors the running status of the programme to be recorded -- When the running status changes to 'running', VDR starts recording -- When the running status changes to 'not running', VDR stops recording and - deletes the timer. - -CAUTION - VPS recordings seem to have a lower priority than live viewing. VDR -will not interrupt live viewing to start looking for the start of a recording.
