Hi !
After having seen that there are several plug-ins computing the recording length on their own and that being a very expensive task (in respect of io and cpu) and also the same implementation needs to be copied over and over again, i would like to request, that vdr is storing the length of a recording and make it accessible to the plug-ins. I would imagine, that some logic to store it in the info file after/while generating/writing the index would be a good way.
Plug-ins which possibly could make use of that are:
- live
- extrecmenu
- restfulapi
I'm sure there are more of it.
Has someone allready thought of this ? Are there any plans to have that or someone allready using a patch for this ?
How about cIndexFile::GetLength()? This was newly added in version 1.7.20.
