Is there someway in VDR to say schedule a repeated timer 'record this monday to friday from 9pm til 11pm' or at least a daily timer 'record this every monday between 9pm and 11pm'
Perhaps some plugin? Any hints?
well it wasn't obvious for me, but when I pressed the left button on the date to before today, it showed a MTWTFSS, and pressing left again changed to ------S (Sunday)
Hope this helps.

I am using vdradmin-am to schedule my recordings; there are checkboxes for every day of week.

If you press "0" on a timer date/time then it changes from being a one off recording to being weekly recurring.
Pressing left/right after that gives you lots of options, e.g. recording Sun - Sat / Mon - Fri / Sat & Sun etc

It might also be a good idea to take a look at the MANUAL:
(3) In the "Timers" menu, when on the "Day" item, the '0' key toggles between a single shot and a repeating timer. If "Day" indicates a repeating timer, the keys '1'...'7' can be used to toggle the individual days ('1' is Monday).

I favor the epgsearch plugin. It allows to set several parameters for search timers, e.g. to record films with a specific name, in a specific channel, when they run in a specific time range. This is what I use when I want to record once-a-week shows, as they sometimes are shifted a bit in starting time.
As Martin said, the other very useful tool is vdradmin-am, which, besides other things, has a web frontend for the epgsearch plugin.
Kind regards, Stefan

I've been using epgsearch and vdradmind-am for years and I can't imagine not using them!

Yes, I forgot to mention epgsearch. As more and more stations at least in Germany have the nasty habit of moving TV shows to other time slots if the ratings are not satisfactory, epgsearch is a "must-have".
It also saves disk space if your favourite TV show is temporary replaced by e.g. a sports match.

Not to forget the LIVE plugin, which has a very good integration with epgsearch too. After all most of the LIVE timer functionality was provied by the epgsearch author himself.
Kind regards Dieter
P.S. I know it a little bit of advertising :) but its open source too
