Hi!

Tnx, but I don't really understand this, and I can't get it working ... ;-)

If i add a line like
Grep image  : /blah/send.sh GRAB /blah.jpg &
in /video/reccmds.

I've made a send.sh like yours above.

I still get the same problem, it locks for 10 seconds and then I get an log
output like above - and no image.

At the VDR console I see
sh: line 1: /video/%Recording/2004-01-24.11:23.50.99.rec: is a directory
Timeout

I don't know if the above errors has something to do about my problem, I
think that VDR sends the directory where the recording is tored after the
command in reccmd.conf (like "send.sh GRAB /blah.jpg &
/video/%Recording/2004-01-24.11\:23.50.99.rec/")
