IMO you cannot blame VDR for this. You moved around recordings and you didn't obeyed the rules VDR uses to create recording dirs. VDR always creates a recording dir on video0 and puts the index file and such there. On videoX it creates a equal named dir to put the 00x.vdr files which are linked to the dir on video0. But you create a direct link to a recording dir, which was unexpectable for VDR. Regards. -- Stefan Huelswitt s.huelswitt@xxxxxx | http://www.muempf.de/
