Hi,
I'm proud to announce version 1.0 of my ExtRecMenu-plugin. Here the changes since version 0.13:
- it is now possible to cancel a moving-between-filesystems-process - applied changes for MainMenuHooksPatch - added MainMenuHooksPatch to contrib/-dir; removed old one, which is now obsolete - free disk space is shown for the filesystem of the current directory (can be switched of in plugin's setup menu) - added support for hidding PIN-protected recordings in co-work with PIN-Plugin - added queue for moving recordings between filesystems - added cutter queue - added #ifdef's to switch of font patching for vdr >= 1.5.3 - added setup option to switch of font patching
What is the ExtRecMenu-plugin?
This plugin for VDR provides an extended recordings menu. In addition to the functions of VDR's recordings menu it provides:
* renaming recordings and directories * moving recordings and directories, also between different filesystems * reworked layout using icons for showing the status of list entries (directory, new recording, moving recording/directory, cutting recording, dvd archiv entry) * adjustable display of recording's length, date and size * directories are always shown on top of the list * extended recordings info menu, shows name, path, channel, size, lifetime and priority of the recording * free disk space is shown for the filesystem of the current directory * sorting by name or date, adjustable for each directory; type of sorting will be stored * ascending/descending sorting * extends VDR's '-r'-option commands with 'move' and 'rename' * functionality of the DVDArchive-patch * protecting recordings in co-work with the PIN-plugin * a cutter queue

Hi,
I did not mentioned it: the plugin is ment for use with actual stable VDR versions. It does compile with the current developer versions of VDR but it does not support the new font handling or the new translation handling.
I am using a function to extend the font with icons. This function doesn't work with VDR >= 1.5.3 and is switched of for this versions. If you want to see these icons, you have to use a ttf font which contains these. You can find such a font at this url: http://andreas.vdr-developer.org/enigmang/download.html

I will not get any message if cutting is finished. Is that a bug?
Best regards, Matthias

Hi Matthias,
the plugins does not show a message if cutting is finished. As you don't have to wait for a finished cutting process and there are also icons that mark cutting recordings I think there is no need for it.

hm ok, maybe I have that icons not on my VDR. Where should it be displayed?
Best regards, Matthias
Hi Matthias,
The icons should be displayed at the left of a list entry. Take a look at the screenshot at plugin's homepage (http://martins-kabuff.de/extrecmenu_en.html).
As I mentioned before you need a true type font containing the icons for VDR >= 1.5.3
Greets, Martin
Where do you place the true type font?

hm, ok is seems that my font is missing that icons.

I use Enigma skin in my VDRs and for that I use the font: skinenigmang-fonts-20070704.tgz
What font should I use to have that symboles? Or must I select in the VDR menu the right font (their are a lot of fonts, no idea which I should select)?
Best regards, Matthias

If you are using EnigmaNG then it's the font "List items".

Here again the location of the ttf containing the icons: http://andreas.vdr-developer.org/enigmang/download.html
I'm not the creator of this font! And I don't know, how to configure EnigmaNG or VDR to use it .

That seems to mean you now do the cutting on your own, and no longer use vdr-cutting functions. Sadly this means hardlinkcutter will no longer be used :(
Is it possible to either apply hardlinkcutting patch to extrecmenu, too, or make extrecmenu 1.0 access vdr-core cutting like it did before?
Is there such a big difference between original cutting, and the one from extrecmenu?
Matthias
Hi Matthias,
I only copied VDR's cutting function to the plugin because of the problems with cCutter::Active() You find the function in file tools.c, line 369. Maybe I should implement a setup option to switch of the cutter queue.
