Well, I'd be happy to just select a show from the "Programs" list and
press something for "Always record" which would create a new autotimer
with sane default values. I don't think a plugin can do that though, you'd
need some patching of VDR to do it. Adding a new autotimer to vdradmin's
file vdradmin.at is also simple, the issue is there to get vdradmin to
notice the changed file and reread it. Maybe a "kill -HUP" could force
vdradmin to reread all config files?
