the timer file is corrupt and could not be loaded blackhole

If you created a timer from an EPG listing, sometimes there are "special" characters in the EPG which the timer does not like. Happens quite often with non-English languages.

The link gives instructions on how to clear the timers.xml file, which will solve the problem, but you will lose all timers you have set. If this is not a problem, just follow the instructions in the link MastaG gave you.

If you want to try to save the file, you can try to edit timers.xml and look for invalid characters in each "name" and especially in the "description" sections. If unsure, you can remove everything in the "description" section and replace with something like

description="."

But be aware that you may need to edit the file (or at least save the file) when enigma2 is not running because when enigma2 is restarted, it will first write a new timers.xml file before ending... So, it is best to run "init 4" from a telnet session, then edit the file, then run "init 3" to restart enigma2.

Fixed!
