    No, I'll try and test it later today - I seem to remember posting something similar a while ago and you pointed it out then.

    Something must have failed on the first round of setting up/scanning that did not fail this time round.
    Very odd but I am relieved :-)

    thanks to all for their inputs and help.

    Post #17 was one off timers.

    Autotimers behave differently, and are allowed to create timers which start at the same time as another timer ends.

    No conflict reported.

    Will it record/work? Answer at 15:00.

    The answer is yes.

    So autotimers can cope, but one off timers refuse to allow you to achieve effectively the same sequence of recordings.

    We may have to add the fix that was applied to autotimers plugin to timer.py. Can you find the commit?

    That AutoTimer.py fix appears to be in the wrong place.
    An AutoTimer sets a timer by using the timer code, so if you wish to allow a recording to start at the same time as another ends the place to put it is in the timer code, not the autotimer code.

    Although that's not actually what the AutoTimer code does.

    It seems to be coded to only work when a timer has no margins set for before and after the actual recording?
