Hallo,
I have noticed that VDR now - can't say at the moment at what version it started - wakeup the additinal videodisks when (re)starting the vdr program, this was previously not so. Maybe it is since the delted recordings are included in the "free" videospace or it has something to do with the caching of the recording list !? The same thing has allways happended when the list of Delete Recordings is created by an VDR internal function - unfortunatly I don't know what function that is. This can be tested with the Undelete plugin : http://www.fast-info.de/vdr/undelete/index.htm
Would it be possible to somehow change this ?
Normally it should not be necessary to use the [0-9][0-9][0-9].vdr files when creating those lists. The only thing that comes into my mind in this context is that it is used to calculate the free size including the deleted recordings !? If that is the case then maybe index.vdr could be used instead to find out how many minutes the deleted recording is and add that to the free time instead of using the size :) Or somehow check if the videofiles are linked and then don't touch them.
A litte Background info. I have got 3 disks in my VDR and it is placed in my Livingroom. To reduce noise and Heat I let the second and third disk sleep most of the time. VDR only knows of the first disk /video and the recordings are then split to the other disks when cutting or reorganizing with AutoCutter. Maybe that has something to do with this problem !?
VDR only determines the size of the recording directories when it is started. Once it is running, it shouldn't wake up your additional disks.
Are you starting/stopping VDR all the time?
