I will have to give your patch a go becuase I've recently missed a few recordings due to tennis and football over-running!! I presume I need to set timers with no margin at the start and with vps enabled for all for this to work? Do I also need your tvanytime patch for this to work? I did try it a few days back with vdr-1.7.19 but I kept on gettign seg faults from calls to strcpyrealloc! I was, however, in the process of sorting out some other issues at the time so will have to try it again now that I've fixed the other problems! :-) Cheers, Laz |
