I'm seeing some EPG problems that could possibly be related; no crashes or kills here, but after running for some time, my VDR is developing an off-by-one (or two) problem with associating programs and their descriptions. The shown description for a program may be the one of the next (or previous, can't remember now) program. This is particularly annoying when later burning such a recording to a DVD using the burn plugin... I think I've tried all EPG bugfix levels, to no avail. Removing epg.data and restarting VDR appears to fix it. And I don't think I've ever seen the off-by-one problems until VDR writes epg.data to disk some time after a "fresh" restart. Anyone seeing similar effects?
