Hi Klaus, I encounter a strange behavior with vdr 1.3.44. The names of recordings are displayed wrong (some cryptic chars). You can see some examples @ vdrportal: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?postid=433905#post433905 http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?postid=433962#post433962 http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?postid=435407#post435407 I already tried some hints: 1) genindex 2) VDR without plugins 3) Vanilla VDR Unfortunately, nothing works. VDR 1.3.42 worked as expected and name of recordings on hard disk are fine. Can you give me a hint? Thanks, Alain
