Oh talk about getting the wrong end of the stick, it's late and I've been freevo'ing all day :) Conflict is more important, because the recordserver cuts the end of the first one off, when it starts to record the second program. Duplicates, are not that important, I tend to let them record in case the first one is corrupt, quite often happens with the PVR-350, loss of audio about twice a week. A better way is to write a script, grepping the fxd files, and then a sort, cut, uniq -d. This way there are no changes to freevo. An even better way is to write a freevo helper function. I have written quite a few of these, one to remove old bookmarks for recording that have been deleted, one to check that the fxd files are okay and have the video file that it says, etc. > It'd also be nice (if we're making the background of the listings grid > changable) to shade-out programmes in the past.
