Should the Autotimer plugin work OK with channels that have alternative services?

I am seeing two similar problems:

1) Cannot add channels that have alternative services to the channels (services) list to search in an autotimer. Same behaviour happens from OpenWebIf and using remote control. They add, but disappear when closing and saving.

2) Autotimer will not scan and add timers on any channel with alternative services that is in a bouquet selected for that autotimer.

This is using OpenPLi 9.0-release (2024-10-11-release-9.0). Alternatives are the same channel but from different tuners (DVB-T / DVB-S). If the alternatives are removed, then the channel is searched and matches found OK, doesn't matter if the DVB-T or -S version is used, it will work OK as long is there is no alternative set. The overide found with alternative setting (either global or per autotimer) has no effect. Changing the order of primary and alternative services also makes no difference.

Also, enabling the debug log to /tmp/ in the autotime settings doesn't create a log file there.

Have been seeing this issue for a few months but only really started looking at it today. Was there a change in OpenPLi 9 that would affect how alternative services are handled, as I'm sure this used to wok OK with previos PLi versions.

Is anyone else seeing a similar problem?
