I think it would be also very useful to have the lenght of a recording availible. There exists the "ShowRecordingLenght-Patch" for vdr-1.2.6 and some early 1.3.x versions, but unfortunately it isn't ported to recent vdr versions. Maybe this function could be included into vdr too.
Have you tried Bigpatch, it contains enhanced AIO-patch with the features you described. But anyhow, there is "showrecording" length patches up to recent VDR versions.
