Much simpler, while less powerful, would be the following idea:
vdr actually requires that weekdays use the correct letter.
So MT----- is correct, but TT----- is incorrect.
I believe all current software that generates timers.conf
entries does this anyway.
Now, we can simply disable a periodic timer for one shot by
allowing one more character in each colum.
For example, IT----- means "Inactive only this Monday".
On all days except Monday, vdr can automatically replace
an I in column 1 with an M, On all Days except Tuesday,
vdr can automatically replace an I in column 2 with a T, etc.
Would that not be a lot easier to implement?
Carsten.
