Hi,

another one missed. This time the timer was valid:

Mar 5 15:27:00 vdr vdr: [21274] timer 8 (2 1529-1539 'Hinter den Kulissen von Dresden') entered VPS margin Mar 5 15:41:00 vdr vdr: [21274] deleting timer 8 (2 1529-1539 'Hinter den Kulissen von Dresden') Mar 5 15:44:03 vdr vdr: [21281] channel 2 (ZDF) event 12:15 'Wintersport' status 3 Mar 5 15:46:03 vdr vdr: [21281] channel 2 (ZDF) event 15:30 'Hinter den Kulissen von Dresden' status 4

same thing yesterday evening:

Mar 4 22:27:00 vdr vdr: [18784] timer 9 (2 2229-2239 'Hinter den Kulissen von "Dresden"') entered VPS margin Mar 4 22:41:00 vdr vdr: [18784] deleting timer 9 (2 2229-2239 'Hinter den Kulissen von "Dresden"') Mar 4 23:08:05 vdr vdr: [18790] channel 2 (ZDF) event 22:30 'Hinter den Kulissen von "Dresden"' status 4

How long does vdr wait for the event to actually start? Can I change that somewhere?

Apparently there is a problem if the actual event start time isn't adjusted by the broadcaster. I'll look into this. Unfortunately this weekend I didn't have any time for VDR...

Snother thing I found while looking at the logs:

What makes vdr go mad like this? The running status doesn't seem to change.

Is this log excerpt complete (no intermediate lines removed)? At the moment I have no idea why it would behave that strange.
