Hi!
I think there will be no problems on single disk systems cause of they have enough speed, but I found a Problem with external NFS-Devices. Beside my internal video-device I'm using one harddisk for Music, one for all of my Image's and an additional Device for VDR-Recordings. Cause of the slower network-access the initial scanning for recordings and empty directories, VDR is scanning all that Sound and Image-Stuff for several minutes. If I include my 4 GB cddb-archiv, it is about 20 minutes.
Therefor I changed the code of ScanVideoDir with a simple extension. It now looks first wether a file ".vdrexclude" Exists. If so it skips the entire directory-tree. This makes it easy to exclude a subdirectory tree by simply touching ".vdrexclude" in a directory that will not contain VDR-Recordings.
Well, actually there shouldn't be any non-VDR files in the video directory. Plus, since version 1.3.38 all disk access regarding recordings is done in a separate thread.
