[vdr] Timer priority bug?

[Jürgen Schmitz <j.schmitz@web.de>]

Hi!

After making some changes and tests with the analogTV plugin with the 
priority handling (which results in a fix ;-) I found a problem with the 
timer handling in the VDR core - maybe:

When a first timer eg. with prio 10 startes recording and after some 
minutes a 2nd timer with a higher prio starts and requires the same 
device the first one is stopped - that's ok. But when the 2nd is 
recording the first one tries nearly every second to get the (or any) 
device to continue its recording. This looks like useless CPU stress.

This doesn't happen when the 2nd timer has a lower priority. In this 
case the 2nd starts to get a device when the 1st has finished.

Ok, I see there may be a reason to check every seconds (eg. if a user 
stops timer 2) - but there should be an event to trigger the timer check.

Jürgen
