Hi,

I am attaching a patch for vdr 1.7.23 for the problem described here: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board1-news/board2-vdr-news/p1047199-announce-vdr-d...

There appears to be a problem in listing recordings due to a bug fix in vdr 1.7.23. "Fixed handling symbolic links in cRecordings::ScanVideoDir()"

The attached patch just disables the translation of symbolic links to "real" paths. So that all recordings appear to be under the same (recordings) directory tree, as it was earlier.

Please reply with your results.

Can somebody who has actually this use case please confirm whether this patch fixes the problem?
