AW: Video Disk Recorder version 0.63

[Harald Lipphaus <H.Lipphaus@t-online.de>]

Nice Feature, but why shouldn´t we take a real Database like "mysql", that
could also be used by applications like gVideo. That wouls also give us the
possibility to construct a kind of centralized update (think of cddb)..

This new feature is great! The idea of additional information
came into my mind while I was fiddling with it :)
I extracted information from channel lists,
kept information like radio/tv,language ... sorted it
they way I thought it was useful at the moment
and created a channels.conf from this data.
the "problem" (not a real problem  actually but a bit unpleasant :))
is that I always have to keep a 2nd data source when I want to sort
again.
allowing some dummy fields in channels.conf would be helpful.

btw. a language filter possibly could be a neat feature for vdr :)
