Hi guys,
I'm currently working on integrating my VDR setup with the commercial kartina.tv offering (found no workable reference so I'm doing it myself - will be documented at http://vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Kartina.tv_mit_IPTV).
Because the channel list may be modified by the provider every now and then, and VDR cannot know anything about it, the channels.conf file needs to be rebuilt frequently outside of VDR (and reloaded on the next VDR restart). Since I'd like to see the kartina.tv channels at, say, @201, I have to parse the channels.conf file and insert the kartina.tv channels inbetween. This is cumbersome at best. It would be far easier if channels.conf could include other channels.conf files.
Any ideas? I figure with more IPTV offerings on the horizon this is going to become more and more useful.

You know that you can modify the current channel list by the SVDRP commands LSTC, MODC, MOVC, NEWC?
You just need a way to distinguish between 'your' channels and other channels, so you know which to update.
It would be far easier if channels.conf could include other channels.conf files.
How should this be preserved if VDR saves the channels.conf? How should changes to the included files be handled? What happens if I move a channel / all channels out of the included file into the main file?
An include structure is more easily handled on files that only get read.
Cheers,
Udo
