Recording was not done, no error no message....

Reading the code I'm a bit puzzled. I schedule a recording via the epg. The epg table for the channel get updated, and if dvr_entry_find_by_event_fuzzy does not find the entry using only slot time, the recording is deleted. It would be safer to consider in this case the previous start time<-> end time has been created manually for the channel and readd it.

This doesn't entirely surprise me, it's well documented that mixing XMLTV/EIT etc. can cause problems. I've done my best to improve this from the point of view of teh actual schedule management. But the DVR code itself is indeed in need of revamping.

I'll note this against my general "update the DVR" issue. Just need to find time to do something about it.

I think a quick workaround is that the recording time slots shall be recreated as if it was entered manually keeping the info that had been set via epg event. Here the recording is deleted simply without any notification. And I haven't figured out why it does not find a event near. I bet its beacuseeit has only next and current and does not comme in addition to XMLTV epg... I think is OK to record something else because program changed that noting at all. In addition, the eit use UPPER case and the channel name ARTE HD but for the epg ARTE HD vs arte has no meaning so channel name changed fromp ARTE HD to ARTE when setting the xmltv:kazer ARTE info in the channel

Forgot to say that comment 3 renders difficult to blame eit/XMLTV as there was nothing in the EIT for the time slot.
