Ok, I found it.
It only happens with repeating timers, that's why my explicit
tests (with one time recordings) didn't show this error.

It is caused by a change I made in VDR 1.3.37:



Simply remove these two lines and it should work again.
I'll need to look for a different way to make sure a VPS timer
only records a programme with exactly that VPS time.

Hi Klaus! Maybe it's time for a new Dev Release of VDR? There are so 
many patches for .27 now...

Ciao, Dominique

i think of using VPS as well. but i'm not sure with which channels to 
use it.

could you pls give a short summary of the channels it works with, and 
which channels better to avoid?

thanks
