[SOLVED Rescanning channels with wirbelscan] ERROR: invalid value for parameter 'M' in yaVDR with VDR 1.7.26 (testing version)

Hi.

The error of the subject has appeared since I updated VDR version to VDR 1.7.26 (testing version):

Mar 29 07:42:03 yaVDR04 vdr: [1168] ERROR: invalid value for parameter 'M'

This is my syslog:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/905390/

There are some answers in another thread trying to solve the error, but no luck so far.

Regards.

Since I'm also perplexed, I did dig a bit and found this thread: vdr-sxfe freezt beim Abspielen von Aufzeichnungen Yavdr

That guy had the same errors, which did obviously disappear after he did disable "vdr-plugin-extrecmenu". What plugins do you have running?

Code

#/> vdr -V

Hi Javier.

You can try the following to increase the watchdog.

Code

/etc/default/vdr
OPTIONS="-w 0"

Set the value 0 to 120.
Let you know if it helped.

Albert

Hi.

Done, but not difference in the syslog:

And? Did it help?

Gerald

When I arrive home tomorrow I will try to disable extrecmenu.

Regards.
jbjbjb

Hi.

I have done:

nano /etc/vdr/plugins/order.conf

Added the line:

-extrecmenu

And

sudo restart vdr

But afterwards the error keeps on.

Did I unplug well extrecmenu plugin?

Regards.

Quote from fnu

Yes, you did, but I'm still the opinion, that one of the plugins may pollute syslog.

Do you use XBMC actively, means could you testwise disable "xvdr"?

Regards
fnu

No, I do not use XBMC. I try to disable "xvdr" then.

Regards.
jbjbjb

Done, but the error appears again in syslog.

Should I try one by one all the plugins?

Regards.

Back to the root. Did you changed your channel list, as I have suggested this to you? Link.
Why do not uninstall the extrecmenu experimentally?

Albert

Doing it...

I will report the results

Regards
jbjbjb

Well, after 30 minutes, only seven channels of the same mux of the channel I leave in channels.conf, had been found.

My wife is not as patient as me, so I will try that in another moment and I will report.

Thx.

jbjbjb

Hi again.

After the try I made, deleting all channels in channels.conf, I recovered again the safety copy of channels.conf to watch tv, but the scheduled recordings had dissapeared and the plugin epg-search does not work again and it does not recover the scheduled recordings. (The plugin is activated to schedule automaticaly the recordings).

Can anyone help me to make it work again?

Thanks
jbjbjb

Quote from DaKilla

Why that? I wrote:

not all channels!

Better during the search, the timer should be empty.

Albert

Hi
I deleted all channels except the first one.

After 30 min. only appeared the channels of the mux in the channel that I did not delete.

After that I recovered the copy of my channels.conf but epg-search do not do his work scheduling again the recordings scheduled that were deleted in the process.

Now I am scheduling manually the next recordings to do. How can I restore the way of work of epg-search?
