or the search timer that was responsible for the timer. I think, VDRAdmin works the same way. After the recording is done this info was available til now in the recordings description. If I understood you right, this info should now be moved to the 'aux' field. Do you plan any way, to display the 'aux' value for timers and recordings in VDR's OSD?
The recorded channel is already stored in the 'C' record of the info.vdr file. If necessary, that information can be displayed in the cSkin::SetRecording() function. The actual "aux" value of a timer has no conceivable meaning to VDR, so there's no point in displaying it, I'd say.
But isn't that just private information? I don't see any way to get that information except reading the info-File directly. Could you please add a function to derive this information as I think this could be a nice feature in a skin?
There will be a function to retrieve the 'aux' string from cRecordingInfo. However, I don't see what a skin (that doesn't know anything about what the actual content of that string means) could reasonably do with it. Sure, it could display it, ending up in something like
Aux: 123blafaslhisomeinf456this789ismystring
Meaning: the string could be *anything* (even non-printable characters).
Sorry, my question wasn't written very well. I meant the channelID. Is there (or will there be) a way to retreive this ID from the info.vdr via the API?
Oh, sorry. There is currently no such function, but that can be provided.
