AutoTimer will not set Timer

It would be advisable to make a settings backup before doing any major hacking.

By the way, an overlap would be any common recording time over events spanning more than two tuners, not just same start time or end time.

It's also advisable to put enigma to sleep via a telnet session before editing live files such as timers. They are very prone to corruption if edited while enigma is live.

Hi

Can you elaborate on how to set up and use telnet please.

I have had the need to delete all auto timers and timers, but they always seem to get recreated. (I have even tried deleting timers and auto timers files via Samba, but they just get recreated).

Make sure you press green to save once you have deleted the autotimers in the autotimer menu.

I have noticed also this evening that some autotimers that worked last week without me changing anything arent showing as setup on the Epg. The only thing I have done this week is update from 034 to 037. Does anyone know if anything has been changed re autotimers over the last month or if anything has been built into recent vix updates that could effect autotimers?

yes autotimer has been messed around with over the past few weeks, nothing do with vix mind, other groups have been messing with it.
i thought it was back to the state it was before all the messing.

Hi
So is there anywhere that provides a change log for each VIX release? It would be nice to know before hand what might have been altered or worked on.

Hi

I *think* I did - but there again can't be sure - thanks for the reminder. I am more used to most 'normal' functions to be done immediately and not needing so much confirmation.

**rossi2000** · 19-09-14, 22:40

yes check the shoutbox for phoenixs msgs, there links to the changelogs.

Menu -> Setup -> Software update -> View the changes or look at the pheonix change log posts.

Not sure how it could be made any easier?

When I use that Menu path, all I get is a pause while it checks, and then 'Nothing to update' message - I assume that is because I already have the latest version (037).

Main Menu -> Information -> About - [Info button]

will list the Changelog for what you are currently running.

Hi
Thanks Birdman, I had missed the 'info' icon/button shown.

**duoduo** · 18-10-14, 08:29

Stanman your spelling is awful lol.. Ok Coronation Street (only Monday works) , Eastenders (only Friday works) not for me for the Mrs she goes ballistic when one doesn't record. They show in autotimer list but just don't record and there is no symbol next to the programmes in Epg.

**Stanman** · 18-10-14, 11:14

In the AT timer settings have you got show on conflict enabled?
Have you tried deleting the AT and re adding it.

Can you post up screen shot of your AT settings.
