This would be a dirty ugly hack. There must be some pseudo-recording running so VDR does not restart the recording over and over again. And then we'll end up with a recording hack that looks like a timer but does not block devices and does not write to disk and has no recording folder and and and... The alternative would be to implement a generic task scheduler and make timers one special type of schedule. This would get REALLY big. Cheers, Udo
