Remote timer plugin

[Rob van der Does]

After installing the remote timer plugin you only have to set the IP, port, user/pass of the server:

Not sure if this will work without a password; I never tried that.
The hostname isn't required: it's only for yourself to remember which box you added.
Make sure to have set 'remote timer-default = yes'.

This is all that is required.

I thought I had it working -I added a couple of timers and I could see them on my server box. A little later on I saw that the timers read "finished". I assumed the recording was successful, but there was nothing on the harddisk on my server.
Also when I open the plugin with the blue button -it say "fetching remote data..." -but nothing is fetched.
Under settings for the plugin (green button on remote) everything was entered automatically. I didn't edit anything. I have the same info there as you do (in your screeshot)except for the hostname, which is Vuuno.
I was wondering about that last line in the configuration -the one that says "Remote timer -remotedir. Wha's it for?
Also I'm wondering if the server box is trying to record on to the client box. My client box (Vu Zero) does not have a hdd -only a usb stick.
Any ideas?
By the way, when I add a new remote timer -the location for the recording reads /media/hdd/movie.
but all my movies on my server has this location (read from my Zero) media/autofs/VUUUNO/movie.
Could this be the problem? That I have to change this location?
If so, how do I change it? I tried doing it in setup/system/recording and playback settings -but I was unable to change anything regarding default movie location or timer recording location.

Well, nothing goes in there by itself: you have entered the IP-address (and the box remembers it).
As I said: the hostname is of no importance; it's only a reminder for yourself and I never use it.

Seems perfectly fine.

I know now what's wrong, but I don't know how to fix it. Today I set a timer to record a TV show from 1430 until 1435 -just to test it. I then went to my server box and checked the timer. It read start 1430 and end 1435.
The timer failed again. I looked at the same timer after it had failed on my server box, and now the start time read 1430 and END TIME 1429!!
The end time was somehow changed!
No wonder the timer fails, but what can I do about it -how to fix this problem??
