xxv generated a timer (via autotimer) which somehow got into timers.conf - I suppose xxv writes directly to timers.conf Then vdr said Apr 24 20:01:00 server vdr: [28378] ERROR: error in /var/lib/vdr/timers.conf, line 201 Apr 24 20:01:00 server vdr: [28378] max. latency time 0 seconds Apr 24 20:01:00 server vdr: [28378] exiting Why does vdr have to exit? Can't it simply ignore errors in timers.conf? this is the defect timer: Note that it consists of several lines separated by LF. 1:S19.2E-1-1079-28011:2006-04-28:1310:1335:50:50:wiso kompakt:* Selbst gemacht: Wohnung f?r Kids: Tischhaus und Ritterburg * Kochen und Backen: Johann Lafers Himmel un Erd: Mangold * Gr?ner Daumen - Zimmerpflanzen: Wintergarten (Teil 3) * Gute Reise: Spaniens Nordwesten: Galicien * Landesnachrichten -- Wolfgang
