Hi
I have been trying to figure out a way to change the name of the recording BEFORE the recording starts. This might sound odd but in finland a naming system has been adopted where the name includes the rating. As an example Alcatraz (7) which would mean it forbidden under 7 years old. If another episode is Alcatraz (12) and another is Alcatraz (S) you find the recordings being in wrong order in the timeline.
So what I would like to do is to strip the ending of the names. I created a very simple script to changes the name when the recording ends using recording hooks but seems that if the recording stops for any reason and then starts again there will be problems.
Then i thought I should change the name before the actual recording starts but I was not sure if it could be done with recording hooks.
Is this possible and if then any pointers would be appreciated?

What you want to do is to fix the EPG. This plugin may help you with that:

EPGFixer plugin already includes a example for removing parental rating from the title, which actually was the original reason why I created the plugin.

Is this plugin on any repo? I have installed the whole vdr stuff from repos. It is easier to update but at the same time some plugins are hard or impossible to find :| I've chosen to install from repos because I must maintain 4 installations which are not identical.

It is included at least in yaVDR, which is based on Ubuntu and repos of which can used also in Ubuntu (https://launchpad.net/~yavdr/). As far as I know it is not yet in other linux distros.

I checked yaVDR (which I am using) but as it happens I am still using Lucid which did not seam to have the plugin. Well it is time to update anyhow :) Thanx for the info.
