Indeed, I'd also seen it before enabling conflict resolution and this
wasn't the first time adding/editing a new favourite since enabling
it.

Interesting. Unfortunately, there was no web access happening at the
time and the TV updates happen at 07:16.
In other words, the only thing accessing the record server at the time
was the main Freevo UI on the TV.

Nope, nothing recording at the time either.
I've now got a little cronjob running as the PVR user:
--------8<--------
0 * * * * perl -e '$a =
"/var/cache/freevo/record_schedule.xml"; system("cp $a ~/") if -s $a >
10240'
-------->8--------
So I feel safer doing some more tests ;-)
The strangest thing is why the web UI would work and the main UI
wouldn't. Aren't they both talking to the recordserver using the same
protocol and very similar code?
Cheers,
Andrew
