Hi Patrick, I use the following code, that nordlicht@vdrportal send me: time_t now = time(NULL); // thanks to nordlich@vdrportal for the following code, that char *buffer=NULL; // allows setting the channel for a timer without event int starthh,startmm,stophh,stopmm; //for getting the day of month struct tm *tm_t=localtime(&now); //we have to get away the ':' from the time string sscanf(TIMESTRING(now),"%2d:%2d",&starthh,&startmm); sscanf(TIMESTRING(now+Setup.InstantRecordTime*60),"%2d:%2d",&stophh,&stopmm); //active:channel:day_of_month:starttime:endtime:priority:durability:title: asprintf(&buffer,"1:%d:%d:%d%d:%d%d:%d:%d:%s:",item->channel->Number(),tm_t->tm_mday,starthh,startmm,stophh,stopmm,Setup.DefaultPriority,Setup.DefaultLifetime,item->channel->Name()); timer=new cTimer(false,false); if(timer->Parse(buffer)) free(buffer); it abuses the parse function for that purpose. Of course, an extended constructur would be much better. BR, Christian.
