Scripts for VDR (Video Disk ReKorder), respectively his plugins

Script is now here

This script is called out of the timercmds.conf. You need the timercmds.conf - patch (german).

With VDR version 1.3.44 Klaus has changed something: "The 'summary' field of a timer definition has been renamed to 'aux', and is now only used for external applications to store auxiliary information with a timer".

With this timercmds.conf - patch this script can show you in the timer menu the auxiliary information of a timer. Useful in conjunction with the epgsearch plugin, cause in the auxiliary information epgsearch stores which searchtimer has created this timer.

If you use more than one video partition (/video0, /video1, …), the recording files (001.vdr, …) will be distributed over all partitions. If you move a recording, manually or with the ExtRecMenu-plugin, only the path on /video0 will be changed. The links from /video0 to the other partitions stay as they are. (Renaming the same.)

This script correct the pathes and the links to the other partitions. It is called after moving/renaming out of the rwrapper.sh. (See VDR option "-r" in the man page.)

For this purpose rwrapper.sh must extended with two actions and the script should copied to /usr/local/bin.

      move)
        correct_videodirs.sh /video0 "$3"
        ;;
    rename)
        correct_videodirs.sh /video0 "$3"
        ;;

The first parameter must be the base videodir.

The manual can be find inside the script. Please read it! Test the script at first manually with a test recording!
