Hi Klaus, really a great work!!
Something I realized: I'm recording the Simpsons on "Pro Sieben" as a repeating Timer. The Simpsons do not have a subtitle, so in the Recordings-Menu I see a subfolder "The Simpsons" but inside the Folder there are only the Times and Dates of the recording, because there is no subtitle... Would it be possible that if a recording in a episode-folder dores not have a subtitle, the episode-name would be displayed?
I think it is better then in such a case vdr generates his own "short text" with a fix prefix like "Episode" or "Folge" and a two or three Digit-Number. So you get a directory called "The Simpsons" and in that directory all recordings called "Episode 001","Episode 002","Episode 003",....
Is it possible make this changes in vdr?
This would be Possible, but you would have to generate the short-text when creating the recording. I've made a little patch to VDR 1.3.44. See the attachment.
@Klaus: what do you think about it? :)
So then you'll get a Recordings menu like
--------------------------------------------- The Simpsons
08.01.06 20:00 The Simpsons 09.01.06 20:00 The Simpsons 10.01.06 20:00 The Simpsons 11.01.06 20:00 The Simpsons 12.01.06 20:00 The Simpsons 13.01.06 20:00 The Simpsons 14.01.06 20:00 The Simpsons 15.01.06 20:00 The Simpsons ---------------------------------------------
Where exactly is the additional benefit in having the series name (which is already listed in the title) repeated for every episode?
Wouldn't it be a better idea to complain to the broadcaster and ask why they don't provide episode titles?
