the limit to one digit is only because I was lazy in this first attempt
as well as breaking the ".vdr" suffix. I only wanted to know if
someone else would find a feature like this useful.

I was thinking about using a string too but then I thought
that an integer would be easier to change in the setup menu ('<' '>')
I had a (very theoretical, I admit :) ) situation in mind when person A
starts watching a movie on vdr-box 1 and continues
to watch it on vdr-box 2 while normally each box uses it's
own uniqe ID.
