I have a small problem with vdradmin. It's autotimer function creates timers that are named as some of the autotimer I've created but with wrong times. It does create all timers that it is supposed to create but it also creates these false ones. And the created timer has the info of the wrong program but the name of the timer is the name of the right program thus making it hard to see in vdr's recordings which is right and which is wrong (because they have the same name).
I have vdradmin-0.97-am3.0 and vdr 1.3.23.
I also checked the epg.data that there is no data that would cause this. I use title in auto timer to find the wanted program along with channel and start and stop times. The funny thing is that sometimes the false timer is even outside the timeframe I've defined.
Any idea what is causing this cind of behavior?

A small correction. Sometimes the autotimer creates timers on wrong names.
Just to clarify lets say that I have an autotimer called smallville. - Sometimes happens that autotimer creates wrong timer with the name smallville but all times are wrong and it is some program or it may start in the middle of a program as well. - Some other times happens that autotimer creates a timer called smallville which actualle some other autotimer should have created. - And seems like all of the time the autotimer creates a timer called smallville which is the right one.
So as I wrote earlier it seems to create all the right timers but sometimes they have wrong name or they are just something extra.

Since no one has replied to this it seems that I am the only one with this problem??
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Oh and one observation more. If I remove all timers and then force update them on auto timers page all timers are fine again. Go figure. But as time passes the timers get messed up again.

no you are not. This too is an old one.

try NO_EVENTID = 1 in vdradmind.conf
yours, Jouni
Thanks for the advise.
Btw. what does this setting actually do?

You are not alone. I have some auto-timers, and some of them record something else sometimes. Many of the false hits seem to happen nightime or other time when EPG says something like 'null'.
I was blaming bad EPG data which is broken if you look EPG full one week ahead like vdradmin is doing, but I don't really know. At least if vdradmin would create timers bit later result might be better?
My failing autotimers are:
Nelonen: Vaaleanpunainen pantteri Nelonen: Top 10 (Matches NRJ Top 10) Nelonen: Top 20 (Matches Euro Top 20) YLE TV2: TOP40
Those programs on nelonen produce quite much false hists, TOP40 sometimes. Other auto-timers (7) work like expected.

Jouni allready told me to try NO_EVENTID = 1 in vdradmind.conf. I've set it and yet so far everything has been working as it should (for a few days).
I was also suspecting EPG data since in many occations there have been talk about finnins EPG being corrupted or badly set up.
I've had problems in all channels (YLE1/2, MTV3/Nelonen/Subtv)
Those programs on nelonen produce quite much false hists, TOP40 sometimes. Other auto-timers (7) work like expected.
Maybe I am just a heavy user since I have 62 autotimers at present :) Few of those is actually not valid anymore but it leaves some 50+ autotimers.
