Hi,
For all, who wonder, where this change for vdr 2.1.3 comes from:
- The Recordings menu can now be called with a cRecordingFilter, which allows the caller to have it display only a certain subset of the recordings
here's the plugin, which uses it: recsearch
https://github.com/flensrocker/vdr-plugin-recsearch
It's a simple search for name, shorttext and description, the status (new/edited) and age of a recording. The main reason for me was to get a quick list of the new recordings of the last week.
You can save various templates, organize them in categories and add a hotkey to them, so you can use something like
User1 @recsearch 1
in your keymacros.conf to quickly execute a search.
For vdr versions older than 2.1.3 there's a clone of the recordings menu of vdr 2.0.4 included, so you can use it for the current stable release.
Comments are welcome.
Lars.

Hi Lars,
Wonderful!
Would it be possible (as a new feature) to filter/search/sort for recordings by recording-lifetime and/or if it is SD or HD? My use case is this: I normally like to view "important" and high-quality recordings first, which I typically sort manually in this order:
1. Lifetime (L) 99 and HD 2. L99 + SD 3. L98 + HD 4. L98 + SD 5. L<98 + HD 6. L<98 + SD
Regards, Stephan.

I had the same problem (long time ago). As a simple solution, I wrote a small python script that creates folders with "virtual" recordings (symbolic links to the real recordings). The tool creates /video/Surround, /video/HD and /video/Surround+HD. Inside each of them there is the same subfolder structure as under /video, except that they contain only the corresponding subset.
Here is the source:
import os import shutil import sys
video_dir = "/video"
def linkto(root, name):
components = [] for root_component in root.split('/')[2:]: components.append(root_component) if root_component.startswith('%'): break source = os.path.join(video_dir, '/'.join(components)) target = os.path.join(video_dir, name, '/'.join(components)) target_parent = os.path.join(video_dir, name, '/'.join(components[:-1])) if not os.path.exists(target_parent): os.makedirs(target_parent) os.symlink(source, target)
for subdir in ("Surround", "HD", "Surround+HD"): path = os.path.join(video_dir, subdir) if os.path.exists(path): shutil.rmtree(path) os.mkdir(path)
surround_dirs = [] hd_dirs = [] surround_hd_dirs = [] for root, dummy_dirs, files in os.walk(video_dir, followlinks=True): if '%' in root and ("info" in files or "info.vdr" in files): surround = False hd = False for line in open(os.path.join(root, "info" if "info" in files else "info.vdr")): if line.startswith("X "): if " 5.1" in line: surround = True elif "high definition Video" in line: hd = True if surround: surround_dirs.append(root) if hd: hd_dirs.append(root) if surround and hd: surround_hd_dirs.append(root)
for root in surround_dirs: linkto(root, "Surround") for root in hd_dirs: linkto(root, "HD") for root in surround_hd_dirs: linkto(root, "Surround+HD")
Cheers, Carsten.

Ah, the components of a recording. Have to look into it, maybe I can detect H.264/MPEG2 encodings.
I'll add them to my TODO list.
Regards, Lars.

Hi Lars,
Wonderful!
Would it be possible (as a new feature) to filter/search/sort for recordings by recording-lifetime and/or if it is SD or HD?
"sorting" is done by recordings menu of vdr. No chance, that recsearch can add there an alternative sort mechanism (for now).
"lifetime" is a property of cRecording, so yes, it's possible to add a filter for this.
Neither cRecording nor cRecordingInfo provides anything so recsearch can decide, if it's SD or HD. Sorry, can't add something there...
Regards, Lars.
My use case is this: I normally like to view "important" and high-quality recordings first, which I typically sort manually in this order:
- Lifetime (L) 99 and HD
- L99 + SD
- L98 + HD
- L98 + SD
- L<98 + HD
- L<98 + SD
Regards, Stephan.
Hi,
Thanks Lars, very usefull plugin :)
some hints...
can you please name your release tags with a proper name? i.e v0.2.2 > vdr-recsearch-0.2.2.tar.gz this makes it more clear, if you mirror the files in the WWW
in the untared package it should be named recsearch-0.0.2
I know, there is no standard, but a closer look over the shoulder how the godfather KLS himself it does, should be a good orientation :)
the 2 files last.conf searches.conf should be handled in the vdr cache dir, not in the vdr plugins dir?
else as you can the templates easy handle by the plugins colored buttons on OSD
anyway, this is crying on highest level ;)
thanks

The tar.gz is generated by GitHub. Of course I could prefix the version with "recsearch-", but on other git-web-platforms these kind of tags looks weird, see
http://projects.vdr-developer.org/git/vdr.git/tag/?id=vdr-2.0.5
Actually the pure version number is the best tag, since then it can be easily used with git-buildpackage, see "the other godfather" :)
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/releases
On my debian-branch I can just ran
git-buildpackage -tc
with the following gbp.conf (will add that to my git):
[DEFAULT] upstream-branch = master debian-branch = debian
[git-buildpackage] upstream-tag = v%(version)s
Hm, writing this, of course I can configure git-buildpackage to recognize other version tags... should have omit the 'v'... :)
in the untared package it should be named recsearch-0.0.2
For the yaVDR Launchpad PPA I use: git archive --format=tar.gz --prefix=vdr-plugin-recsearch-0.2.2/ --output=../vdr-plugin-recsearch_0.2.2.orig.tar.gz origin/master
With this you can do whatever you need with the tarball.

I decided to use the config-dir, because "cache-dir" sounds a bit "volatile" (a good place for e.g. epg.data which can fully be rebuild) and the resource-dir should/may be read-only. And after all they are configuration files.
anyway, this is crying on highest level ;)
That's good. :)
thanks
I thank you for your comments.
Lars.
