    Thanks. I'll give it a try.
    Is the source available anywhere - and an you get it into the standard Enigma2 codebase (so it will come along with standard updates...)?

    Not likely in my opinion, as has been said multiple times these should be fixed in the drivers by the manufacturers not by hacking the image to compensate.

    I couldn't see the difference between the 1 and >1 recording icons when I started up 1 then another recording.
    But it turned out that this was because I already had one running and was actually looking at 2 and 3 recordings! Once I stopped my 2 test ones I could see it.

    Looks OK. It honours the setting as to whether display FP icons, which I had to switch on, hence the not-noticing that I already had a recording running when I restarted the GUI. So I've missed a bit of "I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue" (rather appropriate ), but can always get it on Saturday should I wish.

    So is there any documentation available for the manufacturers to see what Enigma2 expects of the drivers?

    Not as far as I am aware, it's all pretty much in Andy Blacks head sadly. but he has said time and time again that things like this should be handled in the drivers, and we have in the past kept to that standard and other manufacturers have indeed corrected their drivers as a result.

    This was so easy to program with a little change of code all the recordtimer needed to do was tell the box what it was doing.

    Which strikes me as what should be done. Al that the FP driver needs to do is to show/not show the icon as it is told. It should be up to enigma to know the current state and, on any state change set the driver to the current state.

    PS: This new code is still looking good. The record icon no longer comes on just because the box comes out of standby.

    The only time the boot icon comes on now which was always present is from a restart of the box as that code which switches it on is in the config file which I have not changed, but once your first recording starts and ends it will clear the display which is all we was looking for.

    Well, it also seems to stop the record icon from coming on when it comes out of Standby, which is what caused me to switch it off entirely (as once you brought it out of Standby it was permanently on).

    The file is from an OpenVix image it was off my miracleboxbox running vix 090 image the latest one. I de-compiled the file and added little code then let the box compiled the source code back.

    OK. There is one problem I see.
    The record icon still stops when it goes into Standby.
