Not 100% sure, but this reads like a problem with the dvblogic pvr client add-on as this works just fine with other backends.

Ahhh looks like it's been merged? i think that means it will be in tomorrow's nightly, doesn't it?

Not sure you two guys are actually talking about exactly the same problem. I looked yesterday very careful through the related pvr core code and so far I was not able to find anything suspicious with regard to the problems reported here. At the moment I still think that we're facing separate pvr client add-on issues here, though I cannot be 100% sure.

One of you guys is reporting a misplaced timer icon directly after startup, the other one reports misplaced timer icons after a while when using Kodi. Technically, this might be two completely different problems.

I found a way to make those ghost timers appear. I just need to tune to a channel and when I stop playback the ghost timer has appeared the way I described in the previous post. On some channels it takes multiple tunings to happen and on some channels it happens after the first try. I don't normally do lots of channel surfing so that's why I didn't notice it before.

I can run the latest nightly on my HTPC and see how long it takes for the "Ghost timers" appear (after a restart), or even try and replicate what maxtherabbit is describing above...

Ok tested latest nightly on my always on HTPC, started up Kodi 17 (in portable mode) i got the timer issue as described above, restarted left Live TV running for about an hour, stopped it (as i had to go out!) and about an hour later (on my return) i now have duplicated timers icons for all my series timers for all channels where the programs start at the same time...
Not sure if that proves that the 2 issues are related or not! i did try to replicate what Maxterrabbit was describing by tuning into a channel and stopping the stream but had no success.
I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the EPG updating? e.g i have mine set not to update while Live TV is running, So mine probably updated while i was out and hence the issue appeared?
Happy to keep testing to prove whether this is a addon or Kodi core issue, just tell me what to do! cos i'm not sure anymore....
