The the weekly Linux 5.0rc1 build includes the PR:

Great news. It seem's to be working now. I'll do more testing and get back to this soon. Thank you phunkyfish!
RE: Vu+ PVR addon is getting updates again - phunkyfish - 2019-01-11
Excellent, also tested here and looks good.
Did you say you had a second bug?
RE: Vu+ PVR addon is getting updates again - garret - 2019-01-11
I can confirm that everything works now. I have tested over 20 broken recordings, without any problems. Great work phunkyfish.
May I ask that is there any possibility to get this fix also to VU+/Enigma2 client 2.4.12.? As I said to you, I am forced to use Kodi Krypton at the moment. No need for any new features, just this "GetStreamTimes" -modification to get duration working.

There is no GetStreamTimes API function in Krypton. Works completely different there.

Do you know what might cause this same problem in Krypton? I would be nice to get if fixed.

@garret as GetSteamTimes is kodi 18 only there isn’t anything that can be done I’m afraid. I wouldn’t even have a build environment for it as I only started maintaining the addon in Leia. It shouldn’t be too much longer hopefully for Kodi 18 to be released.
How come you can’t use the kodi 18 release candidate? Just curious.
Send on the other bug anytime, this is my hobby so I have fun fixing them
If you manage to create a GitHub account and create an issue there it’s much easier from a tracking perspective and it’s easier for other devs to follow what’s going on. So if it ends up being an issue in kodi it’s easy to link etc.

I hope that ksooo or fritsch (who fixed "Timer recording margins" Backport in 2.4.12) can solve this. I bet that we don't see stable Leia before next autumn ;-)

(2019-01-11, 19:32)phunkyfish Wrote: Send on the other bug anytime, this is my hobby so I have fun fixing themOk... Here it is:
If I have understand this right, when Kodi is showing despcription to recording it parses this information from Enigma's *.meta file.
When I add recording to STB from Kodi's EPG, I cannot see description in Kodi because it doesn't exist in meta-file. Kodi will lost it somehow. In STB I can see description, because it uses information from *.eit -file.
If I add recording from OpenWebif, description is present. This have been tested with different Kodi OS, Enigma-images, Webif versions and skins with same result. Also with newest Milhouse build.
Here you can see difference between recordings which are made in STB and Kodi:
As soon I have placed new recording, description is lost. This can be verified from timers.xml in STB. It's only containing recording time.
Ps. I dont know does this help, but In Finland terrestial broadcasters usually doesn't use "extended event description" -information at all. Just "event description". Thats why "Plot" is usually empty and needed information can be found at "PlotOutline".
RE: Vu+ PVR addon is getting updates again - phunkyfish - 2019-01-12
Is this to record something that is on now in the EPG or a timer for later?
If plot is empty, plot outline is used by default so no issues there.
If you can detail the exact steps you perform in kodi to reproduce that would be useful. Screenshots also helpful!
On the kodi release they are at RC5 now. It can’t be too much longer. On your skin I would contact the skin developer about upgrading it for Leia.
RE: Vu+ PVR addon is getting updates again - garret - 2019-01-12
It doesn't matter how you make this timer. If its made from Kodi, description is lost. And in descrption field is recording time.
Example.
I made two timers, first from Webif, second from Kodi EPG. Same program.
See the difference?
RE: Vu+ PVR addon is getting updates again - phunkyfish - 2019-01-12
I only use Timer rules which don’t have this issue. I should be able to reproduce this easily though.
If you do an instant recording (using the record button while viewing a channel) do you have the same issue?

RE: Vu+ PVR addon is getting updates again - garret - 2019-01-13
Sorry! I'll forget to make account in github. I promise that next time I will do it. Anyway here is test you asked..
When watching channel-list, description is present:
Description is also present in EPG:
And in info-window:
Now when I am recording it from Kodi:
...description is lost in recording:
It doesn't matter how do you make recording. If they are made in Kodi, description is lost. This is annoying. It it prevents me from using Kodi for adding timers if for example season and episode information is lost every series what you are following.
RE: Vu+ PVR addon is getting updates again - phunkyfish - 2019-01-13
Do you have autotimers on your Enigma2 device? I know it's a default plugin on newer images but not sure about yours.
If so you could try installing openwebif 1.3.5, if it all works you would have description for your recordings from autotimers and you wouldn't need to remember to setup/change recording times.
It would tide you over while I figure out what's happening. Just remember to back up your device before giving it a go.

Maybe I am weird person (I know I am).

As I said earlier, this issue is tested with different Kodi- and Webif-versions (with different users) and it does not matter. Same Same result.
Before I have to upgrade my STB, is it possible to you try first add timer from Kodi EPG? Or simply push record button ilke I did and then check do you have description?
RE: Vu+ PVR addon is getting updates again - phunkyfish - 2019-01-13
I meant as a workaround in the meantime
With your current version of OpenWebIf you won’t be able to use autotimers from kodi.You would only need to install a single package, not the upgrade the entire image.
I’ll have a look at the regular timer description issue tomorrow.
You’ll find the latest OpenWebIf package here if you’d like to try it: https://github.com/E2OpenPlugins/e2openplugin-OpenWebif/tree/gh-pages?files=1
