I just dug up this old message.
@Richard: do you still have this problem?
If so, could you try VDR versions between 2.2.0 and 2.6.1 to narrow down when the problem appeared?

Is this the only EPG handler you have installed, or are there others?
If so, make sure this one is installed FIRST.

Actually after more testing it seems the table 0 EPG entries are always being overwritten after EPG scans, not just at startup.
The only EPG handler I have is XMLTV using SVDRP: once a day a script clears the existing EPG then inserts new entries in table 0
The correct table 0 entries can be seen in VDR for a while, then get overwritten after automatic scans.
I do need both types, as some channels / programmes don't have current data in XMLTV, only DVB.
My command line is:
/usr/bin/vdr -c /etc/vdr -E /mnt/lvm0/TV/epg.data -l 2 --no-kbd -P streamdev-server -P epgsearch -v 1 -l /var/log/epgsearch.log -m /usr/local/bin/sendEmail.pl -P epgtableid0 -P vnsiserver -P vdrmanager -P dummydevice -r /usr/local/bin/vdr-auto -u vdr --vfat -v /mnt/lvm0/TV
There are quotes missing:
/usr/bin/vdr -c /etc/vdr -E /mnt/lvm0/TV/epg.data -l 2 --no-kbd -P streamdev-server -P "epgsearch -v 1 -l /var/log/epgsearch.log -m /usr/local/bin/sendEmail.pl" -P epgtableid0 -P vnsiserver -P vdrmanager -P dummydevice -r /usr/local/bin/vdr-auto -u vdr --vfat -v /mnt/lvm0/TV

I should have explained - earlier I quoted the command line reported by the kernel. It's actually created by runvdr.extreme.
So the plugins are recognised, the same way they were in 2.20 - here's an excerpt of the startup
