Hello all,
I have set up a (recurring) VPS timer for "Harald Schmidt". This timer didn't record the show which was broadcasted on May 18th.
Due to a 10 minute delay resulting from the 20:15 programme, ARD adjusted the start time of all following shows. This seems to have occured at 22:05, 2 seconds later vdr started to switch the timer for "Harald Schmidt" between the events for tonight and next week. Unfortunately, the final decision was to not record tonight's show. The following lines are an excerpt of my system log:

Bug or feature?

all me did long ago, is setting "VpsMargin = 1500" in my setup.conf plus me use epgserach that checks if the timers are valid maybe this is the diff.

How many DVB devices do you have? Is this DVB-S, -C or -T?

2 devices, both are DVB-T budget cards.
I looked through the logs again and noticed that the switching between two events also took place right after the show on Wednesday (which was recorded correctly):

I realized that I made the setting "EPGLinger = 60" some months ago, could this be related?
Nevertheless, I think this a bug/problem which can't be reproduced easily, unless one has a DVB test transmitter...

You could add some debug output to eit.c to see whether the "Harald Schmidt" events being modified over and over again.
It might also be a good starting to log the decisions made in cTimer::SetEventFromSchedule() for timer number 3 (note: number = Index() + 1).
