Hi, had to completly re-install everything from scratch. Now I have problems with autotimer. it took about 30! minutes to run. What is going on?

I flasht newest pli, installed autotimer from plugins menue and copied the autimer.xml I saved before.

init 4 && enigma2 on ssh shows that scanning hdd for existing files took very long everything else is fast.

 

What can I do? Why is this sudenly so slow? 

[Erik Slagter]

I don't have that experience. Also the autotimer should be running in the background now, there should be no spinnners. Maybe you have a huge amount of EPG data or a huge amount of autotimers? I have 48 and that doesn't give problems.

 

What receiver? Maybe it's memory is full?

To the best of my knowledge, autotimer does not scan the harddisk.

does´t the autotimer check the hdd witch episode of a series is already recorded, so it won´t recorded twice?

Yes, something like that, I was surprised to know as well.

It does. I have about 60 Autotimers and a full 4TB hdd. But before fresh instal it was way faster. Also it works different: Now there is a spinner. log shows: Main Thread is busy, show spinner or something similiar. The spinner is shown for about 3 or 5 min, dissaperas and is shown again. Nothing works during a autotimer run, box is completely busy. is ther a "run in background" option?

"We found a matching recorded movie" is the step which tok about 10-15 seconds each. can someone test how long it takes normaly?

[MiLo]

i've never seen it do that, so maybe there's a setting that controls this that happens to be enabled for you?

I deinstalled Autotimer, Upddated the box, installed autotimer again. Delete Autotimer.xml and created one single autotimer. but whatever I do it does not check for uniqness anymore. it creates timer for the same epsiode airing on different times. 

Where is the "Require description to be unique" in the xml?

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<autotimer version="7">

 <defaults avoidDuplicateDescription="3" encoding="ISO8859-15" searchType="exact">
 </defaults>

 <timer name="The Knick" match="The Knick" enabled="yes" avoidDuplicateDescription="3" searchType="exact" searchCase="sensitive">
  <serviceref>1:0:19:6E:D:85:C00000:0:0:0:</serviceref> <!-- Sky Atlantic HD -->
 </timer>

</autotimer>

Can I delete the plugin with all it settings? Deleting via plugins menue and delete autotimer.xml is not enough

ok, so the xml is correct. but autotimer still does not work. Any ideas what to do?

open plugin

delete selected entry

create a new auto timer

[Weiti]

tested that several times without any success. Also tested different series. Reboot, reinstall plugin, deinstall plugin update pli, instal again nothing works. still problems. there must be a folder/file with settings from autotimer because it always remembers settings like the delay on running after startup. maybe it works again with a total reset of autotimer. but where is it located? 

[WanWizard]

All settings are stored in a central location, in /etc/enigma2/settings.

[Weiti]

mhm, already deleted the autotimer entries there but it still knows th settings.

 

I tried the following: http://forums.openpl...imer-mod/page-3 Rev, 2,1 works. Three timer; runtime about 2 min. Slow, but It is working again. 

The old autotimer, Installed two years ago was way faster then the _mod

 

Is there a possibility to start the box and run autotimer once a day at a specific time (cronjob?) and deactivate the automatic run at the menue? This way it wouldn*t matter how long autotimer runs.

I tried the version from plugins menue, the number changed so I thought it could be a newer version. But it still records absolutely everything with the same name. 

Does someone have a .ipk from the old autotimer, not the _mod version?
