I am having difficulty getting Epgsearch plugin to create any timers.
This is the procedure I am going through that I believe should cause Epgsearch plugin to create timers:
Menu Program Guide Highlight a scheduled program that I wish to create search parameters for e.g. 'Space 1999' Press 0 Press red button 'Commands' 4 Create search Use as search timer: yes Enter to save the search Press the back button Press 0 Press blue button 'search' Select the search just created Executing the search finds 'Space 1999' in the epg ok Press the back button Press blue button 'Actions' 3 Trigger search timer update Confirm with enter button Press blue button 'Actions' 5 Show timers created The display shows '0 Timers' Exit by pressing menu button
Menu Timers No timers set by epgsearch
I am using epgsearch version 0.9.20. My epg is received from UK "Freeview" DVB-t. VDR is running as root. There are no patches to vdr. The only other plugin running at the same time is -Pskincurses because the VDR system is headless. I am using VDR version 1.4.4.
Am I doing something wrong here or is this a bug?

Please check if the SVDRP port in epgsearchs setup is the same as in VDRs. If not please adjust them and restart VDR. After ~25 seconds the timers will be created or later when you trigger the update manually. If this does not solve the problem, please inspect your syslogs when you trigger the search timer update. You could also activate epgsearchs log with '-P epgsearch -v 2' and check the file epgsearch.log in the plugins config directory.

I traced the problem down to a missing svdrphosts.conf file. Timers are now set ok.
Thanks for the clues.
