[vdr] [PATCH] recordings menu speedup

[Andreas Schultz <aschultz@warp10.net>]

Hi all,

A new version of the fam patch is at:
http://www.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~aschultz/dvd/vdr-1.1.33-fam1.diff.bz2

This patch reimplements the recordings scanner using FAM. Initial test show 
dramatic speed improvements on large recording directories.

FAM (File Access Monitor) works on local and NFS mounted filesystems, it also 
uses a polling mechanisms as fallback on other filesystems like smb.  Install 
and configure it before trying the patch!!! Most newer Linux distributions do 
include it. Sources can be found at: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/

Again: PLEASE ensure fam is configured and running before filling bug reports!

Have fun

Andreas
