Can you send me the stdout of your server and clients via mail when the plugin 
is compiled with DEBUG=1? Maybe I'll see what's goin wrong, then...

That can't be, theoretically (but who knows). The channels are identified by 
the unique channel ID. If there would be two different channels matching one 
ID, VDR itself would complain on startup. What can be is, that the channel 
was, for some reason, unavailable and vdr tuned the next possible channel 
(skipping channels 2 and 3). Again, the output of the plugin compiled with 
DEBUG=1 would help alot.
