Well, I have only tested with VDR's own summary files ;-)

Please try if this helps:



The first two lines (separated by an empty line) will be used as Title and
ShortText, and the rest (again, separated by an empty line) will be put into
the Description. With Master Timer's format this will still be somewhat
messy, since in your example it would interpret

ID: "41615360"

as the Title and

Title: "Bean"

as the ShortText, but at least all the rest should make it into the Description.

Maybe Master Timer should have written its summary.conf the way VDR did ;-)

That should have been 'summary.vdr', of course - sorry for the typo.

I guess i should take the time to invent a new format that is compatible with both "old" (1.2.0 - 1.3.24) and "new" (1.3.25 - <x>) VDR.

Btw. Could you/someone provide a few examples of VDR-created timers & info.vdr-files (best including the snipped from epg.data) from 1.3.25?

The old summary.vdr files were written as

---------------------------
Title

ShortText

Description
---------------------------


where Title and ShortText were single lines, and Description
could be several lines. Both ShortText and Description were optional.

The new info.vdr format is described in vdr.5 and looks like this:

---------------------------
C S19.2E-1-1079-28007
T nano
S Die Welt von morgen
D U.a. mit folgenden Themen: Verbrennen statt verkippen Neues Gesetz für den Restmüll Spritze gegen Schuppenflechte Neuer Wirkstoff blockiert das Immunsystem Formel für den Frühling Die Mathematik des Pflanzenwachstums Deutschland, 2005
X 2 01 deu Mono
X 2 01 deu mono/2-Kanal
X 1 01 deu 4:3
---------------------------

(Forword: "Description" is optional in Master-Timer, personally i don't like them in my timers, so i don't have them)

So for the timer-(summary/info)-field it should be enough to replace the "||" Between the ID & Title with a " ", resulting in

old:
ID: "904527872"||Title: "Alias - Die Agentin"||Subtitle: "Erpressung"

new:
ID: "904527872" Title: "Alias - Die Agentin"||Subtitle: "Erpressung"

But maybe i should change to a more "Eyefriendly" and shorter format.
What do you think of this?
Alias - Die Agentin (MT-ID:904527872)||Erpressung
optionally appending: ||<Description>

That would match the VDR-Format and be much less intrusive (only difference to VDR-format beeing the "(MT-ID:<id>)"-string) than the current format. :-)

Certainly a good idea.

Any Master-Timer Users already using a 1.3.25 VDR and using the "done" 
functionality that want's to beta-test this change?
