Hello I want to create a new instant Recording from a Plugin at a specific Channel.

The normal way to create a instant Recording is to call

cRecordControls::Start ();

This will create a Recording of the current Channel.

So if I want to create a recording on an different Channel, I can create a new Timer and give this new Timer to cRecordControls::Start ().

cTimer *timer = new cTimer(true,false); cRecordControls::Start (timer);

But new cTimer(true, false) also use the current Channel.

Is it possible that Klaus change the Constructor from cTimer::cTimer(bool Instant, bool Pause) to cTimer::cTimer(bool Instant, bool Pause, int channel = 0)

And the line 30 in timers.c from channel = Channels.GetByNumber(cDevice::CurrentChannel()); to channel = Channels.GetByNumber(channel?channel:cDevice::CurrentChannel());

In this case i can create a new recording by cTimer *timer = new cTimer(true,false,MYCHANNEL); cRecordControls::Start (timer);

please!!! :-)

Yours sincerely, Patrick

A improved Version would be this:

cTimer::cTimer(bool Instant, bool Pause,cChannel *Channel=NULL) { ... channel = Channel?Channel:Channels.GetByNumber(cDevice::CurrentChannel());

I'll make it that way in VDR 1.3.38.
