Re: [vdr] half-viewed recordings, can they be moved at the top of the list?
I don't think it's difficult to do right at all to be honest. You can just make user-defined thresholds so the the user can decide himself how many mins or % of the total recording triggers the partial-view and viewed flags. For example one guy might want: not-viewed: 5% viewed partial-viewed: 5%+ viewed viewed: 95%+ viewed and another guy could customize it differently such as 10%, 10%+, 99%+... This way the user gets the 3 flags and gets to decide when they're triggered. I think this would satisfy the majority/most users with low difficulty to implement. Percentages would not work well as 5% is much more from 20 minute recording than 2 hour movie. But a little related to this, I think it would be great if there could be some kind of short cut for command that one could use after watching the recording to cut away end of the recording. So when ending texts start, one key press would just cut rest away and also stop the viewing. Mika ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Re: [vdr] half-viewed recordings, can they be moved at the top of the list?
an additional problem is the definition of viewed. I don't normally view the end credits. Also, I have normally 10min extra in the end of each recording, just in case. So normally there are around 10-15mins in the end of a viewed recording that have not been viewed. But this would probably vary - a little different for each user. Seems a difficult thing to do right. Matti's plugin sounds like a working solution, instead. yours, Jouni ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I don't think this is the right way since the order of recordings is per directory and the last viewed recording may be in some (deep) subdirectory.

The History-plugin I posted to this thread remembers user defined number of replayed recordings so it probably easier than searching through the recording list for partially watched recordings. Replaying can be easily started from the list. The plugin also handles removed recordings appropriately. The plugin also stores history of replayed files using xineliboutput's Media Player. Replay of these can also be started from the plugin menu. -- Matti ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
