Perhaps adding an option under the "Use as search timer"->User-defined to only record 1 episode between two customisable times? Is there a way for EpgSearch to verify a particular recording/timer has completed successfully within the last 'X' hours (ie time since 00:00), and if so disabling any remaining timers created by that search from the time of detection until 23:59? > > 2-4 copies of the same episode if no conflicts exist.

It seems that there is a new episode once per day, with 4 or 5 repeats of that same episode later that day. > Best regards, > Christian Cheers Mike _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
