Wow, you're apparently a lot further in development than I am!
My VDR is only at 1.1.26 ;-)

The Main menu only holds "Stop recording..." entries for instant recordings that
have been started in the currently running VDR session.
If you want to stop a timer prematurely you can always enter the Timers
menu and hit the blue button in there.

Whenever you restart VDR and previously had "Stop recording..." entries in
the Main menu, this will happen.

There is still a problem with timers that result in the same file name.
For the moment just don't start the same recording more than once.
