I agree, but due to the menu structure of VDR this may be hard.
Another idea is to be able to select multiple files for adding,
but this would need major changes to the menu code, too. What I'm
planing, is adding directories recursivly.

I'm not sure if I understand you last sentence right. Do you
means, that you wants to stay inside the browser after selecting
a file?

It's on the TODO list.

I did not noticed this for me, but you aren't the only one
reporting this. The resampling may very well be the cause (don't
know how good mpg123 is doing the job). Or resampling isn't
working at all? Have to look into it.

With the progress window open or ony with the big menu?
