Atleast my info about the search timer, that triggered the timer/recording will not be visible anymore. What about an additional simple submenu in the summary menu of timers/recordings, e.g. called with the unused key 'blue' labeled 'Aux'.
The 'aux' field shall be of no concern to VDR, so I don't see why there should be a button wasted to display it. What's so important about that information, anyway?
It's of no use of VDR "itself" but like the title/subitle/description (which are equaly pointless from a purely technical view. Purely technical you only need channel, time & duration, see for e.g. the good old VCR. It only needed the channel, time & duration) it can be vital for the user if s/he needs to find out the culprit who programmed a timer.
I had the same question for Master-Timer years ago, because of that when Master-Timer programs a timer it also prints out which "torecord"-block (beginning on what line) was responsible for a specific timer. Then you realize that everyhing is OK, or you tune the "torecord"-block, "done" it or create a blacklist entry to get rid of the timer.
So there actually is a reason for the User to see what is recorded in the AUX-field. (And to put "meaningful"-data into the AUX-field. I'm thinking about putting some more into the AUX-field, like the meantioned block-name so that you don't have to look it up elswhere. But i haven't do that in the past because i didn't want to clutter the Summary with too much data.)
What about defining a command in the reccmds.conf file that extracts this info from the recording's info.vdr file?
