Sounds interesting, if I copy a video off my phone will I be able to see it in vdr without editing folders.conf? I currently switch to xbmc to watch stuff recorded or copied outside of vdr .

I tried mixing existing recording directories into the entries in folders.conf. However, this pretty soon gets rather complex. Should recording directories only appear in the menu or should they actually be written into folders.conf? What if they are only in the menu, and you create a new subfolder in one of them? I'd really like to keep things simple here...
With the new possibility of renaming entire folders and moving around recordings from within VDR's menu there shouldn't be the need for messing around with the actual disk files/directories any more.

If you copy it into a properly named directory/file structure, and the recording is in a format that VDR can play, and you do "touch /video/.update" after copying the recording, then it should work. The folders.conf file has nothing to do with this. It is merely a list of folder names you might want to use frequently when programming timers or moving recordings. It just helps you avoid unnecessary typing.
