Is the channel number even necessary information to store in a
dirname?  I've experienced many times where channels have been
shuffled (requiring a rescanning & a new channels.conf)
so channel 100 could be one network today and a different one
tomorrow.  Maybe a better choice would be using the channel shortname,
for example:

YYYY-MM-DD-hh.mm.CNN-ri.rec
YYYY-MM-DD-hh.mm.BBC-ri.rec

I don't know how VDR work, but I think it will be wise to have a file with the same filename and ".info" or even ".epg" extension that will have relevant EPG section for the recorded program including full channel name.

That's all already contained in the 'info' file of a recording.

If the recording timer was set manualy, maybe it should include all programs that lay between start and end of the recording.

It stores the EPG data of the longest broadcast within the timer window.
