(Don't confuse this with epgsearch search timers where there is one!) VDR adds a margin when using an EPG event to pre-fill a timer entry. But I can still change the starting time to be earlier/later as I want, and after storing the timer, the exact margin is not known any more. Unless you subtract the timer start time from the EPG time of the most probable EPG event. If you want MARGINSTART from setup.conf, then just get it from there. >> The time in the >> folder name is just the timer time, not necessarily the recording start >> time. > There's no guarantee you survive crossing the street at your home. ;-) > > If the VDR clock is reliable and the recording is not started delayed you > get > perfect cuts. Tried that with impressing results on a Indiana Jones > recording. Record something with an VPS timer on an average not-always-perfect channel. Recording time isn't accurate. Or some program is about to start, and you quickly go to EPG and hit record button. Start time will instantly be some minutes in the past. Oh, and recording time is only accurate to one minute. In the info file, it could be accurate to a second. Cheers, Udo _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
