Hello @all, when showing the details of a recording, i'd like to know how much diskspace in MB is needed on my HD (e.g. sum of .vdr files). This size in MB is very useful when archiving some recordings on dvd or copying the data to another limited storage place.
My questions to Klaus and Sascha or others that can be of help:
1. Is this size information already available for a plugin ? If not, i would highly welcome that this size information can be accessed from a plugin.
2. Because i used the text2skin plugin this size information has to be implemented into the text2skin plugin. Due this plugin has been not changed in the last months i'd like to know if the development is going on in the next time and if such a new feature can be implemented.
Best regards, Christoph

I think it would be also very useful to have the lenght of a recording availible. There exists the "ShowRecordingLenght-Patch" for vdr-1.2.6 and some early 1.3.x versions, but unfortunately it isn't ported to recent vdr versions. Maybe this function could be included into vdr too.

Hi,
some days ago I wrote some lines to display the size of a recording. It requires Rolf Ahrenberg's enAIO-2.6-Patch (actually the rename-patch which is included in enAIO but I didn't try that) and I tested it with vdr 1.3.32 and 1.3.34. It displays an additional line in the rename menu with the size in human readable format (that is "GB" in most cases).
@Rolf: would you like to include it in your enAIO-Patch?
regards Christoph

No, sorry. The recording length patch provides already the file size and you can always use the calc-plugin to calculate the size in megabytes instead of minutes displayed on the OSD.
BTW. Frank might include it into his BigPatch that contains all non-essential patches/addons :)
