My /video directory looks like that: vdr /home/cko> ls -l /video total 12784 lrwxrwxrwx 1 cko users 15 Apr 16 21:49 Action -> ../diskb/Action lrwxrwxrwx 1 cko users 15 Apr 16 21:49 Comedy -> ../diskc/Comedy lrwxrwxrwx 1 cko users 20 Aug 1 16:17 Fantasy -> /athlon/vdr5/Fantasy lrwxrwxrwx 1 cko users 19 Aug 1 16:18 Horror -> /athlon/vdr8/Horror lrwxrwxrwx 1 cko users 17 Aug 1 16:17 Kids -> /athlon/vdr6/Kids lrwxrwxrwx 1 cko users 17 Aug 1 16:17 Misc -> /athlon/vdr5/Misc lrwxrwxrwx 1 cko users 18 Aug 1 16:18 Music -> /athlon/vdr8/Music lrwxrwxrwx 1 cko users 18 Sep 7 15:51 SciFi -> /athlon/vdr9/SciFi lrwxrwxrwx 1 cko users 16 Apr 16 21:49 Science -> ../diskd/Science lrwxrwxrwx 1 cko users 17 Apr 16 21:49 Thriller -> ../diskb/Thriller -rw-r--r-- 1 cko users 13081841 Sep 12 13:40 epg.data -rw-r--r-- 1 cko users 366 Sep 10 17:53 global.mplayer.resume -rw-r--r-- 1 cko users 774 Sep 12 01:35 id3info.cache And I have epg2timers set up, so it assigns a genre to each recording automatically, so recordings usually go right into one of the above 10 genre folders. Only if epg2timers fails to determine the genre or if I program a recording from the OSD, it goes directly into /video and I move it into a genre folder later or watch and delete it right away.
