I should have also mentioned that this is *not* a problem with the latest "stable" release of vdradmin (vdradmin-0.97-am3.4.1). I only see the problem with the latest release candidates. I will check lstt and send back.

What do you mean when you're talking about "wrong recordings"? Did VDRAdmin program wrong timers or do you mean the blinking "Rec".
Again: what did they have?
Since v3.4.2rc VDRAdmin uses the timer status flag as reported by VDR.
I do not see any problems with the lstt output. Is there something specific I need to be searching for?
Can you please send the output to me via PM?

Hi,
another thing that came to my mind: are you talking about repeating timers that are really recording at that moment? In that case every shown repetition of that timer will have a blinking "Rec". This will be fixed soon.

Nothing is currently recording at the time. But, the blinking "Rec" light is active on several timers throughout the week. This reminds of a similar problem I have had with the Timeline plugin. People with more than one DVB card do not see this problem.

Ah, ok. Now I understand why it is different. I think the Timeline plugin utilizes the same flag.
yes.

I don't use the Timeline plugin and my VDR box has two DVB-S cards but I once had a wrong status flag in "lstt". Unfortunately I had not been able to reproduce it later :(
I don't use the Timeline plugin.

In my case, a simple one-time recording done from vdradmin has sometimes (enough for me to stop setting timers from it) behaved so that when the timer is set, it looks correct right after the creation. But after some time (in the order of day or two) passes, it has changed to something entirely different, and a completely wrong program has been recorded unless I've noticed the change and had a chance to fix it manually. I don't have better details right now, sorry.
I'm not at all sure if this is a vdradmin-only thing as there has been several issues with the EPG of some Finnish channels in vdr too, though. But I *think* it has occurred more often with vdradmin than with timers set directly from vdr. Will try to keep an eye on it.

Did you have "AutoTimer Checking" set to "Transmission Identification"? In this case VDRAdmin will check the EPG ID and will record the event having that EPG ID. If the EPG ID is changed for events by the broadcasting company different events will be recorded. Can you please check if that's the case?
It also happened with timers programmed in VDR? Don't know why.

In timer_list point your mouse to the timer's title. It should be a link. In the status bar you can read the epg_id. Or you click the link and the popup will show the epg_id in the URL bar.

Yes, that seems to be the default, and I don't remember ever changing it.
Could be, makes sense. I'm currently running vdr with "-E-" to see if it prevents the duplicates, so I don't have an epg.data available where I could check. Later, maybe...
I have noticed that especially in Finnland on channel "Nelonen" the EPG data is corrupted. That is there are missing program information, faulty times, double or even tripple instances of the same program with same or slightly different timings. This ofcourse means that someone should get in contact with "Nelonen" to inform them about these things. To do that it would be nice to have some utility that could be collecting EPG info on selected channel(s) to back up these "accusations" :)
My EPG bugfix level is set to 0.

Hi,
With wrong recordings I mean recordings with a correct name but time different than intended.
For example, last sunday there was a 2-hour movie shown, made a timer (date, channel and time were correct) and checked the recording status on monday - length of recording was 14 minutes and start time was 5 hours after the movie had ended.
Also, there has been recordings with a correct time but with wrong program name. This was ok, at least recordings were made but the ones with wrong starting time and length :-/
Application versions which I've used and problem has been there; VDR versions at least from 1.3.28 --> vdradmin-0.97-am3.4 Plugins: vdr-epgsearch-0.9.7 vdr-femon-0.9.4 vdr-mp3-0.9.13 vdr-osdteletext-0.5.1 vdr-subtitles-0.3.8 vdr-dxr3-0.2.3
