One thing I forgot to mention:

Currently there is one thing to be taken care of, but implementing this 
would be not too complicated imho:

Timers currently have a number which is a bad idea. They should get an 
unique never changing id.

If one uses only sane svdrp applications (didnt look at any sources) 
they should pick the timer number (or id) vdr sends back the them in the 
lstt command.

Like:

250-17 1:8:12:0837:0928:50:99:Tiny Toon Abenteuer:

In this case the number is 17.

Now to solve this problem one would simply have to fill in the unique id 
and not the number in the timer list and thats it.

Imho there is no need for movt anyway.

Just my 0.02euros, but thats how I'd implement it if I had some spare time.

kind regards Philip
