VDRAdmin-AM-3.5.2: Autotimer missing

Hi,

Upgraded to the most recent version of VDRAdmin (previous was 3.4.5a).
Now AutoTimer menu item is missing and can't get it visible. There seems
to be option for this (at least vdradmind.pl has reference to it) but
does not matter if I change the status in vdradmind.pl or vdradmind.conf
file (AUTOTIMER is missing from conf file - if it even should be there).

How can I fix the problem?

Try removing AT_OFFER from vdradmind.conf and changing "-s $AT_FILENAME"
to "-f $AT_FILENAME" around line 3000 in vdradmind.pl.

Note also that the builtin autotimer functionality is deprecated in favour of
using epgsearch, see HISTORY entries from 3.5.0beta onwards.

Hi,

you can also set AT_OFFER=2 in vdradmind.conf.

Regards,
Andreas

Hi,

Thanks! This brought Auto timer -menu available. Seems that I need to
check epgsearch-plugin as this function will be removed from VDRAdmin-AM.

What is the reason why this function gets removed?

1) I don't use AutoTimer, so it's not tested very much by me.
2) IMHO epgsearch is much better and has also the features which have been
requested by lots of VDRAdmin-AM users.
3) epgsearch can also be controlled via VDR's OSD.
