Hi Klaus, I would like this function, too. Because I have a script, which converts VDR-recordings to smaller mp4 for my mobile. And with that vdr-cmd-script, running after a recording was deleted, it would be possible to delete the associated mp4-file automatically. Greetings, Stephan. Am 09

Re: [vdr] read-only video directory

Hi! The VDR-client is started this way: vdr -Pstreamdev-client -Pxineliboutput -v /video Thanks, now I understand: /video is writable by vdr. I don't want that: the client sees the same setup files (also the timers) as the server, so the client would try to record the same as the server. No.
