Hi,
Does VDR have some sort of limit on how many EPG-days are shown/stored VDR? I use xmltv to pull more complete epg-info, and i feed it to vdr with the xmltv2vdr-plugin. For some reason i get only epg shown up in vdr for the last 6,5 days, even if xmltv pulls more days like 14days or more.. :-(

Normally VDR deletes events that have expired (i.e. where the end time is in the past). The Parameter "Setup/EPG/EPG linger time" can be used to specify a time (in minutes) for which old EPG events shall be kept in the list.
Why would you want to have days old EPG events in the first place?

Sorry for messing up my message and not being clear :-) Having a 2,5 year old kid running around makes it difficult to write a message and also understand what i'm writing ;-)
I'll check if i can find what i'm doing wrong.. The xml-file with tv-info is from today to 5.7.2014, so the problem has to be in the xmltv2vdr-plugin..
Unfortunately this plugin has a pretty unclear documentation that i don't understand to 100%. For example, why should need to register finnish tv-stations to the EPG-serner's list found on http://vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Xmltv2vdr-plugin...
I'll post later on a new topic regarding this plugin :-)

Darn.. Sorry for my previous top-post :-(
The problem with not getting more future epg-data into VDR was the xmltv2vdr-plugin itself. Now i'm back again with my original approach i used for many years: the xmltv2vdr-script: xmltv2vdr.pl (ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Tools/xmltv2vdr-1.0.9.tar.gz) and tv_grab_XX. Works like a charm without any unnessesary hassle :-) Now i have epg for more than a month in my VDR :-)
