Why does MP only record with "Manual" as name

[STSC]

Hi,

when I make a recording with "manual" as name everything works find, but when I change it in the database to something else or when I use the PVR Scheduler Plugin and schedule a recording not with "manual" then MP doesn't work. Is there any reason?

I put the sources of the the PVR Scheduler Plugin for MediaPortal in my download area, because frodo requested it. If it is acceptable to Sam I will also put the sources of the ECP2 in my download area, but I have to talk to Sam first.

I have noticed (I'm on 0.1.0.10_2) that manual recordings will be listed under Scheduled Recordings as "Manual", but some time after the recording is completed (not sure exactly when), it seems to pick up the info from the EPG, so that "Manual" is replaced with "<Program name>" in the RecordTV listings.

I actually like this feature....!

But you said it does not work everytime. And what about the people that use an online EPG on the web to scheduler their recordings?
So it would not be too bad to change that.

Thanks!!

Ok I found the issue. Is there any reason, that a program is needed to make a e.g. weekly recording?
