Drop support for VDR 1.2 ??

[Chris]

Does anyone other than me still use VDR 1.2 and if so, why?

My reason is that I tried VDR 1.3 a couple of times and it wasn't too successful and I haven't done anything about it since. I don't use the VDR frontend so there is no impetus to change.

Ayes and nays for dropping support for VDR 1.2 ?

I had the opposite experience; 1.2 was tricky and 1.3 much more stable. However I came in fairly late in the 1.3.x series and the earlier ones may have been worse.

1.3.x is still officially regarded as 'experimental' of course. I wonder if it would be best to maintain compatibility with both 1.2 and 1.3 until the stable 1.4 is released, then drop 1.2 and track 1.5.x on an experimental-only basis? Of course if there was a must-have feature which was only available using 1.3 (or no-one was still using 1.2) then the jump could be made earlier.

I am still using VDR 1.2.6 and have made the same experiences with VDR 1.3 as Chris - it is not working stable for me, and I have no advantages because i just use VOMP/vdr-backend and not the vdr-frontend. There are too big changes from subversion to subversion. I will give it a try when Klaus has released VDR 1.4. (Ate the moment there is only one thing i am missing with vdr 1.2: autoPID).

So please do NOT drop support for VDR 1.2!!!

can't really say....
i'm using 1.3.37 ... and it's sort of stable.
no VDR frontend here either... i'm using VDR for recording/streaming only.
every now and then... there's a little glitch. but... hey...
i'm also a windoze user and hence used to these kind of 'disturbances'.
so: neither an aye nor a nay from me. that wasn't very helpful. i know 

cheers

P.S my VDR does _not_ run 24/7

I use 1.2.6. I had some problems with 1.3 (although those issues wouldn't be a problem now).  1.2.6 is still the stable version so it makes sense to use it where reliability is required. (My wife gives me a hard time if the video fails.)

1.2 x is the stable branch. Why dropping support for it now ?

I don't now intend to drop support for 1.2 while it is still the "stable" branch. Though since I got a second tuner card I found out just how unstable 1.2 is with it, and how stable 1.3 is with it. I am now a 1.3 customer myself....
