Richard Lithvall wrote: Why not just change the naming of video files to four, five or even eight digits? The real limit is that the file format and the VDR API uses byte sized integers to represent this. (cIndexFile::Get uses an uchar *FileNumber.) This could be extended, even with moderate changes on the file format. (there are reserved bytes that could be used) However, in any case it will break compatibility for the recording format and for the VDR API. And with some tricks, 255 files are enough too, so why break things? Cheers, Udo ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

This has crossed my mind several times as well, thanks for implementing it! Future plans To solve the file size vs. recording size conflict, dynamic file sizes could be implemented, so that a recording starts with small file sizes, and increases the file size at some point to ensure enough space for huge recordings before 255.vdr is reached. For example, using 32Mb up to 192.vdr and 2000mb from 193.vdr on will give a total of 128 Gb or 84 hours, while using small files for up to 4 hours.

Hi, Richard Lithvall wrote: Why not just change the naming of video files to four, five or even eight digits? The problem is not the file name, it's the index file. An index entry stores the file number as uchar, which allows 256 recording files. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform.
