vdradmin-am and autotimer

[CR]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the autotimer so I can enter in my favorite shows and
have them automatically recorded. (I think this is functionality VDR
itself needs to have but that is another discussion).

If I use the search box on the bottom, left, vdradmin-am 3.4.7b lists the
show I want. If I click AutoTimer, type in the same search pattern (i.e.
Star Trek Next Generation), enable Title, Subtitle, Description and then
hit "Test", nothing is listed.

What am I missing here? Is there a plug-in needed on vdr to make this
work?

Can we try to bring together some documentation for vdradmin-am? I
searched high and low and didn't find anything.

Thanks,
CR.

Do you have enabled the autotimer on the settings page?

I think the epg-search plugin already provides a similar autotimer
functionality but I never used this yet.

I use autotimeredit plugin to do this from VDR and it works.
But I also had some problems using timers from vdradmin-am.
Could be some format or access right problem between vdradmin and vdr.
My vdr runs as root at the timer.conf is always created by VDR owned by
root.
So I guess there are same access problems for my configuration
