According to man vdr(5), in the timers.conf file "If the name contains any ':' characters, these have to be replaced by '|'. If the name shall contain subdirectories, these have to be delimited by '~' (since the '/' character may be part of a regular programme name)."
The plugin does not replace ':' characters by '|', so if a timer is created which contains a colon (eg "New: Downton Abbey"), the filename becomes simply "New".
