I will have to give your patch a go becuase I've recently missed a few recordings due to tennis and football over-running!!
I presume I need to set timers with no margin at the start and with vps enabled for all for this to work?
In your setup.conf you should have:
UseVps = 1 VpsFallback = 1 VpsMargin = 120
The last one sets the number of seconds before the scheduled start time that VDR begins monitoring the p/f table for the event start.
Also whenever you set a new timer you need to set the 'flag' field to 5 - if using vdradmin-am tick the 'use VPS' box in the New Timer window - as well as setting the start time with no margin.
Do I also need your tvanytime patch for this to work? I did try it a few days back with vdr-1.7.19 but I kept on gettign seg faults from calls to strcpyrealloc! I was, however, in the process of sorting out some other issues at the time so will have to try it again now that I've fixed the other problems!
The TVAnytime patch includes this VPS Fallback patch, but you don't need the rest of it just to do accurate recording.
