Hi all,
First let me descibe my setup:
I'm using VDR from http://e-tobi.net/vdr-experimental (vdr (1.7.16/1.7.16),
1.7.16-2~ctvdr1 - vdr-abi-1.7.16-multipatch)
I switched to vdr-experimental beginning of November 2010. I think the version
I'm using now (above) is available only since last week (before it was 1.7.16-
something else).
I don't know what has changed and whether my problem persists with this
version and I can't easily check any longer. However, I'm sure that the
previous one was having the following problem:
Until recently I used 2 partitions for recordings:
/var/lib/video - /var/lib/video.00
/var/lib/video.00
/var/lib/video.01
/var/lib/video.01 is what I called additional video-dir in the subject. VDR
puts some files (.ts or .vdr respectively) into /var/lib/video.01 and creates
symbolic links from /var/lib/video.00 .
I'm not sure whether this feature is added by multipatch or included in
vanilla-vdr.
When now I merged the two video.0x directories onto a new partition I resolved
the symbolic links with a small script and mv'd the corresponding files into
the right place. When this was done I realized that there were still plenty of
.ts and .vdr files which had no longer any reference in the original video.00-
directory.
All the files that were left are files from recordings I deleted after
switching
to vdr-1.7.16 . Those were recordings from before and after switching to
vdr-1.7.16 .
I hope what I'm writing is clear. If I'm finding the time I will take a look at
the vdr-source from the package, but don't count on it...
best regards,
