Hello,
I'm looking for a way to cut recordings using the vdr (on a different machine), but I don't want the new recording on the same disk as the origin - normally the disk of the recording has no free space, when I like to start cutting.
So I tried to fake the video-root to get the new recording to another disk.
I tried to link the recordings title directory to a disk, where I do have free space and startet the vdr like this: vdr -v /path-to-disk-with-free-space --edit=/linked-directory-on-disk-with- free-space
With that call I got the error message, that the recordings title directory is not a directory. So I tried to change things. I created the title-directory on the disk with free space and linked the timestamp-directory to the original recording.
Trying again to cut that recording - vdr keeps on claiming, that the recordings title directory is not a directory. But this time it is a directory!
So how can I cut the recording without having to copy it to a new drive?
kind regards
Gero
