Try vdradmin version 0.94 from
http://linvdr.org/download/vdradmin/vdradmin-0.94.tar.gz
The complete regexp-handling in AutoTimers has been reworked.
Everything is now threatened as character string without any wildcards, except
it has the form
/regexp/
or
/regexp/i
where "regexp" is a valid perl regular expression. The pattern searched for
matching consists now of title, subtitle and summary, separated by a tilde "~"
But see HISTORY for some VERY important annotations:
I advise you not to use any regular expressions in the AutoTimer, never!
There is absolutely *no* syntax check for the regexp! Leave a stray
brace and see vdradmin dying (because of a perl syntax error), or enter
something like "/.*/" to beam the entire EPG into the timer list and watch
VDR dying under the tons of timers.
Don't write bug reports if a regexp has filled your harddisk to the very
last bit, messed your timer list or killed your VDR: I told you not to use
regular expressions! Don't even think about it!
So we have the feature, but don't use it (OK, we all know that many people
will do anyway, but it's their thumb they cut off)
Bye,
_cooper_
