Mmm, i found the summary-field quite useful, is there an equivalent to this function? (i'am using the patch pressing 0 shows all EPG-entries with the same name of that timer)
BTW - i always wondered why only timers created by "external tools" contained that information. I use master-timer to set the timers and after it completes i go quickly through the timers it created, read the summary and decide to delete or not. (A "deepblack" command in the timer-menu would still be great, same way i can enact user-defined commands on recordings ;-).
The copying to the info is ok, but i could only see that information until the recording is actually done, not before, am i right?
Master-Timer only stores the information available via epg.data.
So everything Master-Timer (excluding "Marks") put into the summary (now aux) should also be shown by VDR via lookup of the EPG-Event.
So basically everything should be as before, only difference should be that the Information that VDR presents isn't provided by Master-Timer but "directly" from EPG-Event.
The data stored by Master-Timer in the AUX-Field are now declared as "Master-Timer internal".
But as i said, that should make a difference.
