VDRAdmin can (still) change it as VDRAdmin changes via SVDR and only the (nowhere seen) NAME of the field is changed. The field will still be the last field of a timer-line, so NEWT/MODT will work the same as before. Regarding your last worry. I said to Klaus (before this discussion in a private mail) that he maybe should drop the "one timer, one EPG-Event"-paradigma for the info.vdr and place all EPG-Events that are (say) at least 90% overlapped with the timer. OK. That way it would be easy to catch news or any other "few minutes" things, when you use large enough margins, but i guess that would still be better than catching the wrong EPG-Event and be scewed. :-) Bis denn -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
