Linux Kodi-14.2 XVDR-Error: Timer already defined
#1
Hi there,

after a new installation of my HTPC, I have an issue with the XVDR plugin.

Configuration:
Watching TV, Timeshift, … works without any issues. But if a want to record the currently watched channel, I get some trouble.

Record the current tv-channel in Xineliboutput (VDR)
-> Works without problems.

Record the current tv-channel in Kodi / XVDR:
-> "VDR Backend reports error"
-> TV picture freezes, but can be "unfrozen" by pressing OK button.
For some reason, the recording works. But Kodi doesn't show me the status "recording". Do I press Stop and Record again on the remote control, I get the correct Record status.

To get sure I don't have anything mis-configured, I started with a fresh Kodi and activated only the XVDR plug-in. On the vdr side, I didn't configure anything. And the video directory, where the recordings are stored, was empty too.

How do I get rid of this error?
